Doctor Who: Smith and Jones
I love Martha already: I really hope people aren’t going to be hard on her just because she’s following on from Rose. Her family look like they’re going to be fun as well, especially the dad and the girlfriend.
For some reason I really liked the very end, when Martha’s family are fighting and storming out of the pub, and Martha glances over and sees the Doctor, like he appeared out of nowhere. The blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary, again…
What else? The Saxon references were Highly Interesting, as was the ‘brother’ line; I figure they’re setting things up for the finale, maybe, and ‘Saxon’ is this year’s Bad Wolf. Liked that Rose got a brief mention, but I’m glad the Doctor didn’t spend the whole episode moping about her.
Oh, and the bendy straws were highly, highly disturbing. I’d call that very very dark humour. Brrrrr. I’m squeamish, and looked away at those points. :p
I barely even noticed the kiss. :p
Also, Outpost Gallifrey is open in another window, and there are 241 people in the rating thread right now…

and ‘Saxon’ is this year’s Bad Wolf The tank at the end of Runaway Bride received “orders from Mr. Saxon”, so I’m thinking yes. I barely even noticed the kiss. :p You call that nothing? ;)

There was also a Saxon poster in the second to last/last episode of Torchwood.

Which raise the whole question of the relative timelines, sigh.

Do you mean the issue of Saxon’s campaign? When it would have geared up and the fact that Jack isn’t picked up by the Tardis until months from now? Unless of course the Tardis goes back or forward in time to get him. But yes, it would be nice to know when everyone is.

Yeah, I always thought TW was about a year after DW – but aparently this may not be the case (despite the ‘canary warf last year….’ bit)

Her dad shouting, “This is me putting my foot down!” killed me dead.
