It was predictable, with very few good lines, and not very well thought out. I like to call this doctor 'the pragmatic one' in my mind, but he certainly wasn't in this episode. And the whole "he's not my boyfriend" thing is really beginning to annoy me. I feel like it's been said in every bloody episode at this point and I have to say they either better declare he's her boyfriend, or just shut up about the whole bloody issue... It's like the shows being written by rabid shippers or something. Gah.
Wordy McWord. With a side order of McFries and a McShake.
This was easily the most cliche-ridden Who episode so far. It annoys me that we've never heard a squeak of the Dad Who Died and yet this is supposed to be a big motivation for Rose joining the Doctor. The finale was telegraphed from virtually the first minute - it would have been so much more emotional had it been the case that the time line didn't get dramatically altered with Dragon!Time!Bacteria, but instead have him get run over anyway just when you thought he was going to be alright.
I don't understand why the Doctor didn't have the whole "I'm gonna ditch your ass, girl!" conversation either. Rose not only saved someone who should have died, but she also touche Baby!Rose despite being specifically told Don't Touch Baby!Rose! These are surely worse crimes than having your head drilled open in a bid to make money?
Shipping doesn't explain the Doctor's bizzare attachment either.
The only good bit was when Douchy!Doctor opens the TArDIS and finds it's a police box.
