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.

Yes, yes you should. But not with this episode. It's not a bad one, and parts of it are beautiful...but it just makes no sense to me.
