Good, but can we do without the incidental "pop" music please - it makes it a bit shit and spoils the drama of the scene.

EDIT:
Nice Jelly baby reference.

Fun to watch but I liked the Master more as a sinister character.

Yes, that bit was rather shite.

Still, at least overpopulation of the planet will be less of an issue now.

That was great. Not quite as good as the last four episodes but still worth it just to watch John Simm chewing up the scenery. Especially loved the parts where he's taking the piss out of 'the last American president'. Great to see Martha's character being a bit more integral to the story, the last couple of weeks she's only had a few chances to be anything other than a 'generic assistant' but this weeks episode bodes well for future storylines.

As much as I like the Rogue Traders, I've been hoping that Russel would avoid using it from the point I found out the episode title. No such luck.

Really good fun though, so many good one liners.

Liked that the Gallifrey scenes kept those utterly ridiculous robes the Timelord elders wear.

Watching confidential afterwards they showed some other classic Master clips, and pointed out that Simm flicking channels and getting the Teletubbies is a nod to something similar from back in the day

Would've been cooler to have somehow involved the Torchwood crew rather than having them simply Deus Ex'ed out of the way. Would've been a nice way to tie the series together. Although there's always next week I guess.

And who would want sonic when you can have laser?

Liked the little chat that the Master and the Doctor had on the phone. "Are you asking me out?"

Allthough it started to go even more Captain Scarlet now with a skybase :p

I actually said "F.A.B!" when we saw the Valiant.

Only bit that irked me was the bullet-proof bodywork of a Vauxhall Corsa!

I liked the music during the drums bit.

The Valiant reminded me more of the SHIELD helicarrier from the Marvel comics. Was never really into Captain Scarlett as a kid.

Fundementally Elize Du Toit in that severe cloting stood outside the Jones's house was the high point of the episode I might have to have a wank over that, spaffing my wad at the point where she says "fire". The low point, which I am now over, was when the Doctor asked the Master who the orb aliens were and he said it would break the Doctor's hearts if he told him. I counted the orbs that had appeared thus far - 1,2,3,4 and then I thought Rose, Mickey, Pete, Jackie. And I wouldn't have put it past Davies to fetch them back in somehow. Of course, there's a few more than that now.

I wonder who they are?

Then there's Martha's family - where have they been most of the series? Who Cares! Hurrah! Sensible use of tertiary cast. As for Jack - he's better in this series than in his own one. They must do a crossover episode one day though.

Simm is great, hopefully a little toned down later on thoguh, as I'm sure he'll be back after this series, though perhaps not often.

I called the Master a cheekey bastard when he offered his wife a jelly baby.

and as much as the Master is the very epitome of evil at least he knows the the correct usage of decimate. one for the SpaG's.

@Goatboy..

Let's not forget that lone Dalek that escaped...

And the Doctor had said that the Daleks had all been destroyed...

I would be so cross if they do that :/

The Master has serious Doctor envy. He has everything the Doctor has - Female companion, scruffy black suit, screwdriver, jelly babies. The TARDIS. Everything except a soul.
