Yeah, Rose isn't gonna die for real, but she was speaking as if she had, and that was a bit lame, IMO.
I saw companion!Jackie and though, "I'm supposed to find this funny, aren't I? Crap." I found her amusing in a very detatched sort of way, I suppose.
Yvonne irritated me so much that I wasn't even all that fond of the Doctor manipulating her. I think I would have liked it better had I been in a better mood.
The "how long you gonna stay" thing...what I liked about that was that it was one place where the Doctor really seems to want Rose to stick around as badly as she wants it.
Yeah, that was interesting. I wonder if it's just there to rev up the emo for when Rose makes her departure, or if it's going to tie into something in the next episode.
Eyre Affair: I just finished it this morning, actually. It was quite good although I think if I knew anything about Jane Eyre it would have been even better. (Although the dialogue sucked badly at times, and the whole Landen thing seemed like it had been shoehorned in at the request of an editor who thought that the book wouldn't sell to the target female audience without a romance of some sort for the main character. But those were the only two things I didn't like about it.) Thursday was quite nifty, and the whole universe in general was pretty cool. I liked that it was hinted at, but never spelled out, that Hitler had occupied England, and the endless Crimean War was...an interesting choice. I particularly enjoyed the scene where Thursday goes into JE as a little girl and causes the carriage accident.
I can't see Laura Fraser playing her, though. LF's just not...hmmm. Not hardened enough, I don't think. My mental picture of Thursday is of a taller, dark-haired Dana Scully circa seasons 5-7 of the X-Files. I guess DT could work as Cable, but I honestly didn't make up much of a picture of him in my head, so I don't really know. I woud put Jude Law in as Landen.
