I think a bit more could have been made over the decision to take Martha along permanently (well, as permanent as any other companion) and would have liked to see Mr X calim to be from Torchwood as that could lead on to an intersting showdown with Jack later on, but otherwise a cracking episode.

And she didn't hesitate about jumping onboard in party frock and killer heels either.

I'm starting to lose interest in this series now - I mean in all honesy it's not good is it? Torchwood was fucking appalling and this is in danger of going the same way. It's all just so souless... :cry:

My 4 year old, Elliot was running round screaming like a girl at yesterdays episode.

Childhood memories in the making.

Mission accomplished, I say :D

Mr. Saxon has a first name now. Harold.

From my reading of history I remember that King HAROLD was the last Anglo SAXON king of England before William the Conqueror invaded. :?

Moreover, 'Harold Saxon' is an anagram of 'Ox horn salad'.

Just watched the torrent. Half tempted to get a TV license out of guilt now.
Well, I liked it!

One minor niggle, I thought the sonic screwdriver was over-used or badly used. It was like a magic key for everything.
It would have been better if Martha, faced with the outer doors, had messed with it at random and blown all the glass out :)

She's a good assistant though..

Not bad.
The show was worth it just for the "reversing the polarity" line ;)

The effects wasnt bad either, although it was horribly noticeable they avoided showing the transformation transitions every time.

agreed.
I think the problem is not for me the screwdriver is a universal tool, more that it came accross as too bloody easy to use.

There's two reasons for that. The first is obviously the cost but the second is that it's a family show going out pre-watershed. It's a bit tricky to get a man transforming horribly into a hideous monster, skin ripping, tendons tearing as his dna forces a horrific change done visually at that time of night. They'd be lynched.

The Doctor can change its settings rapidly. When his companions use it they need to be told which settings to use.
