Hmmm,
I just got the feeling it would make a much better two parter. Everything just seemed far more rushed than paced, ideas and concepts flew by. I had already guessed the titular problem would have a hint of "Minuet in Hell" about it, but it just seemed to zap by so fast. Ms Hartigan's brilliance and past seemed to be tacked on as an after thought. It had all the right bits... just a bit like Voyage of the Damned - all put together a bit wrong...
Bah Humbug.
: Well - that reminded me a little of a pantomime - more
: taking the piss out of the Doctor Who legends. But at
: least it did it in a nice way most of the time. The 10
: Doctor flashbacks were a nice treat, if lacking a little
: of Earthshock's atmosphere.
:
: All in all - there was just no sense of danger (much like
: every other Christmas special). The Cyber King was less
: then memorable with some ropey CGI.

: And is it just me or am I the only one that thinks some of
: these 'crowd pleasing' moments are cringe-worthy?
:
: I just guess I am a little disappointed that this was my
: first ever watching of 'live broadcast' Doctor Who.
