Is it only me or is anyone else a bit "meh" by the apparent formula of "bring back an old enemy for one episode then do a two parter season finale"?

I wouldn't have minded something more "Earthshock" where the Cybermen were first reintroduced at the end of this episode as a complete surprise for the finale. IF the episode had taken a darker turn then it's possible that the girl could have been a Cybercontroller thus leading up for a ten second shot of the Cybermen to pave the way for next week.

I've a bad feeling that next weeks will turn out to be your typical bumbling officious humans getting everyone into a big mess episode.

Better than last weeks diatribe. Interesting premise, well executed - much like the director from the last episode *cough*.

3 Lines did it for me.

"I've been a dad before"
And Rose was like *Huhm WTF Dr ? say again ? elaborate....* typical woman.

"A storm is coming"
How often has that been heard then, babylon 5, lord of the rings (ok, a copy, but - ya know, theres others)

"You will die in battle"
Words spoken by the "devil/ood"

Still, least we get to see Torchwood - and as it happens, it's basicly your average Area51, cept not in Nevada - wouldnt be surprised if Henry Van Statten or one of his ancestors is in it too somewhere.

Looking forward to next week. Recon' i'll cry a bit when they kill off Rose

I can't watch thoses type of scenes easily. Like at the end of AI, or Star Trek Nemesis - resul : blubbery mess....

Poltergiest. Nasty business. Wouldn't fuck off for ages. Shit going on and off. Glad to be out of there. 33a Red Lane in Coventry, if you want to check the place.

Terminator is probably the most famous.

A two parter.

I quite liked this weeks. Very Sapphire and Steel.

Bloody good preview for next week's though. I wonder how many of you spotted the part you were meant to spot.

Well... It had me in tears again and that scores high points with me

I've been noting Rose's[*][/size] progress over this season, from being considered a near equal by the Doctor as he shares the joys of exploration with her to her becoming increasingly Doctorish in her behaviour and outlook. The "who are you" at the end of The Satan Pit was finally directed at both of them and Rose effectively was the Doctor throughout the second half of tonight's story (which might have been a reason for some people to dislike it).

I wonder if we'll meet many of the Torchwood characters

But the 'brought back enemy' in this season's finale has been seen in more than one episode already

Errmmm... I think that might still be considered a spoiler for some people. Even the preview didn't go that far.

It's the first of the two-part finale.

I found out what it was and thinking about it led me to what could be a major spoiler

It has something to do with subjective points of view
