Because Everyone Else Is Doing It- Thoughts on "The Girl in the Fireplace"

Nothing spoilery.

While I was watching the episode, I adored it. I squeed in all the right places, I jumped, I clapped I did everything that you're supposed to while watching one of your favorite shows. And then it was over, and my brain kicked in. The more I think about the episode, the less I like it. In fact, it's about ninety minutes since I finished watching it and I can pretty much say that I hate it. I won't complain about the plot because, generally speaking, I don't give a rat's ass about plot in the first place and I generally don't notice if it sucks or not. Though I will say that I did think the plot sucked. And at the end of the day, nothing made the least bit of since and I'm glad I only viewed this episode as a place holder between "School Reunion" and "Rise of the Cybermen".

All I can say, the best things about this episode was the horse (I love horses)and David Tennant's tie.

Blegh.

(no subject)

Hum, after realizing my dislike of TGITF, I've decided to go spoil myself on "Rise of the Cybermen" to make myself feel better. Normally, I hate spoilers, but I think this is a special case. "The Girl In the Fireplace" was the first episode of Doctor Who that I disliked (As I said in an earlier post, I'm hard to displease). Well, at least I'm actually interested in RotC in the first place.

Oh and another thing I forgot to mention about TGITF, I didn't like Sophia Myles all that much (admitedly, she creeps me out a bit) but I found her a bit wooden.

Also, watched most of "The Deadly Assasain" last night and I have to say that I mostly enjoyed it though I stopped with about twenty minutes left. I figured that when I started to find Tom Baker attractive, it was time to stop (okay, I'm half-kidding though I actually did find him attractive).
