I've avoided the comms because of all of the wank. I hated the episode, and I admit, am quite puzzled that so many people did, but I can't stand to see people fighting over personal preference. It's like religion and politics - no one will change anyone else's opinion on something that is formed on preference as such.
I'm not in the asexual camp. I used to believe he was, simply because people said the old series had no romantic aspect. After seeing a reasonable amount of the classic eps, I've changed my position. It does, because there's no way that Five didn't have more than friendly feelings for Tegan. And Four felt a lot more than comraderie where Romana is concerned. It's simply not like it is today in television, it's regulated to subtext. Which I rather enjoy and leaves tons of room for interesting speculation in fan fic.
What I do find myself complaining about where the ep is concerned is the lack of logic and inconsistent characterization for Ten. The episode was a jumbled mess, and it was an extreme disappointment since it's writer gave us two of the best series one episodes - "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances".
I'll do what I did after "Tooth & Claw", watch old Who and wait for the next ep. 3 had Sarah Jane, and episode 5 is the return of the Cybermen. I need aspects of the old series to help save the new one for me.
