Human Nature

Hmm. I found it all very implausible indeed. Too light and dull for my tastes, even if its just setting up for the other half next week.

And did anyone else's audio keep cutting out / at one time a face was scrambled? Shame shame, BBC.

Ok so he has to fight the family of blood eventually, so why did he try to hide, knowing he's be caught/found out eventually?

Paul Cornell didnt do such a good job making me understand exactly why the Doctor thought it would work to hide as a human, unless there are other motives involved, like him wanting to experience humanity for himself, etc.

Father named Sydney and mother named Verity though? Nice one. And Paul McGann is officially canon. YES.

And did i see a BABY in the clip for next week??

shrug. It felt too light, I didnt like John Smith (he was a twat really, sending that little boy off to be beaten?? teaching boys how to shoot guns??) and i just wasnt overkeen on it.

I guess i'm really losing it for new Who. I enjoyed the last 15 minutes of 42's gurning and screaming more than i enjoyed this week emotional lovey dovey pap.

I think i'm gonna hang out at teh nos' journal, she didnt like it either. Gotta find refuge somewhere.

I think the shooting instruction and allowing obnoxious!kid to bully blond visiony!kid made sense in that it showed that Smith wasn't the Doctor just pretending to be someone else, because he wouldn't have done those things. He's been made human so he's now a product of the times and has human flaws, and isn't necessarily that likeable.

Lovey dovey stuff isn't usually my cup of tea but there was enough other interesting stuff going on that I didn't mind a bit of it.

Ahh well. I think the ratings at OG are at around 96% excellent or good so this ep seems to be one of the most popular to date. The world would be a boring place if everyone liked exactly the same things though!

I'm just not feeling the lub. Sorry. Yes i know that contrasted Ten from Smith, but Smith was a total cunt.

I wanted to love it, i've been anticipating it for weeks. Made the family clear off so i could watch it in peace, etc. But it didnt grab me like i wanted it to.

Shrug. I cant help it, i didnt like it.
