The rocket turned around so The Mill wouldn't have to do a cgi sequence of Toby bouncing over the hull after he was ejected

Dramatic necessity and whatnot

IIRC, it was along the lines "I don't know, maybe that I haven't seen everything... "

Thanks, that was (more or less) it - it was more comprehensible in Doctor Who Confidential without the background music.

Ooh, enjoyed that one in the end a lot.

As for the window on the rocket, maybe they are specially reinforced only for impact from the outside, on the assumption that no-one would be stupid enough to shoot them from within.

The shooting in the Sanctuary Base bugged me more - here you are ina fragile tin box with no atmosphere outside and yet you let people have access to projectile weapons...

They explained that in the previous episode. Special ammo that only damages life forms. Rose asked.

I would have prefered if the rocket had materialized inside the tardis, just to show how big it is. Would have made a nice end to the Impossible Planet.

Hmm, how come they didn't all explode when Rose shot the rocket's window out? It was done far more convincingly in Alien (and Aliens) IMO.

Oh yeah, and the lone soldier staying behind in the ventilation duct to buy them a few seconds? Aliens again, and that had pulse rifles, and no mawkish goodbye scene.

Still, OK episode, even if we've seen it all before

Agreed, this is exactly what I expected to happen - some kind of MASSIVE tardis landing bay or something.

Spidey daleks!
