Cold Blood - Gaz

Well that was a load of shite from shitesville delivered by the shitesville delivery service top shite delivery van... and quite frankly I thought it was shite!

I know Jones has had a couple of episodes he's disliked this series, and for me this was the stinker and I was really disappointed after last weeks sterling effort. Cold Blood felt like a completely different episode from The Hungry Earth, so much so I wondered if I was watching parallel universe Doctor Who. For instance where did the voice over come from... what the fuck! Also, that one sentence gave away the outcome of the whole episode and demolished the Silurian story before you could say cuddle-me-lizard-man!

Let me count the other ways I was disappointed, we only get to meet four individual Silurians and I'm not even sure if that counts as two of them were "sisters" and played by the same actress. The evil Silurian doctor was not evil, just misunderstood, the annoying family became even more annoying... I know who I'd have taken to with a tazer... in fact if I was The Doctor I'd have left the idiots and gone visiting the Cliffs of Andromeda Nine or some such. Hell it felt like an episode from the previous Doctor, with only the manic shouting missing. Oh and it was all wrapped up rather promptly for the appalling ending.

In the end the story became just an interlink to the giant timey-whimy-smiley-cracky-whacky and it was really sad to see it become that. Poor Rory, he really deserved more than this.

I liked:

Very little this week

I disliked:

Pretty much most of it... what happened?

I need to be convinced:

The timey-whimy-space'n'timey-cracky-wacky is going to be a good story

Next week has Bill Nighy and sunflowers
