icepixieHeh.
Yeah, enough plotholes to drive a fleet of trucks through (Cassandra decides she's okay with dying thirty seconds after she said she wasn't? Okay! A thousand new diseases and none of them are airborne? Whatever! All those diseases they're researching and they actually have cures, which can be transported instantaneously by touch? Sure! All this talk of there not being any more pure humans, yet there are thousands of them wandering around the hospital? Why not?), but it was frothy and bubbly and pretty, and for a Russell T. Davies script, I don't expect much more. (The man would be fabulous at teleplay writing of someone else's stories; we could have logical plotlines and snappy dialogue at the same time.)
Plus, SHIP, OMG. Not even just the Cassandra-in-Rose/Doctor kiss, although that was pretty, but the fact that the Doctor and Rose are even more coupleish than before, with the handholding and the linking arms and the "Give her back to me" and the "I loveyou traveling with you." Aw. I may implode of cute.
Also, David Tennant feeling himself up was jsut a bit creepy. But in a good possessed-by-an-alien way. Heh. All hail David Tennant! (And Billie Piper doing a totally different character!)

I really like EOTW and Bad Wolf, and I enjoyed Boomtown
Bad Wolf is a joy. Boomtown - I think that one also suffers from the NE problem in that there are too many plot threads in it. As you say, he's fabby with character stuff. I just think that next to episodes like the Empty Child and TDD, his ones flag a bit.
You have indeed seen me round

I haven't watched Boomtown in a while; I don't remember an excess of plot threads, but I may have just been so amused by the Doctor and Margaret/Blon's interaction that I *handwave*d them all away.

Oh, definitely. Those two get better every time I watch them.
You have indeed seen me round gamesiplay's journal! I spotted you talking DW on friendsfriends and was suitably squeeful. *g*
Heh. Squee, the great uniter of fangirls. *g*
