Planet of the Dead
Apr. 12th, 2009 01:27 amFive hours or so since the first new Who in months, and not a whisper of it on my friendslist? Curious. Is that because it was neither worthy of an OMG 'This is awesome!' nor a 'I was on the internet registering my disgust' before people headed out to their Saturday evening festivities? I can understand that. Better than any of the christmas specials since the first, but still hardly a classic. Michelle Ryan remains someone who ought to be better, cooler, sexier than she actually is, even when she's got the material. Tennant...his 'food, home' speech was Tennant by numbers, and yes he's still great, but he brought nothing new here, and didn't get me a fraction as teary as the end of Finding Nemo beforehand.
( Spoilers, speculation )
Was it really necessary, though, to have one of the most generic episode titles ever?
Could have been a lot worse. Should have been better. I'm grasping for an angle here; it was OK.
