I hated the little jelly things and the music was dreadful, but I thought Donna (herself, not her cringeworthy family) showed surprising potential and was likable in a Sarah Jane way.
What soured things for you when they got together? I was glad, at least, that we didn't get a rerun of Martha/Rose. I'm hopeful that Donna'll meet someone on their travels and go off to a new life. It'd be a positive and more traditional way for a companion to leave than we've had in the new series.
The mouthing at the windows thing - which was way too long, I thought - and then after that, they were much more bothered about each other than about the people in danger round about them. I'm glad Donna isn't in love with the Doctor, and I hope she gets a decent ending, yes.
Yep. The little doughball things might have been cute, but *they used to be people* Nobody seems remotely bothered. I don't think we ever even saw Donna properly realise what had happened to the woman who disappeared in the bathroom.
There was certainly a tinge of slapstick to it. But somehow it didn't strike me as being as daft as, say, Gridlock (whole thing rested on flawed premise), or 42 (just dull), to pick a couple. Or even Idiot's Lantern, which was well executed, but come on, sucking people's faces off into a television???
I loved it. The comedy was nicely judged, the window scene timed to perfection, Miss Foster was played just right and there was a good balance between "Aw, aren't the Adipose cute!" and "Eek! aliens bursting out of stomachs!".
I had a worry when I saw Miss Foster's sonic-thing and thought, "Ah, this'll be The Rani back with her horrible experiments. How easy." But I was wrong!
Next week's looks delicious. A bit of a cross between The Daemons and The Romans perhaps.

Will watch anyway. *sigh*
*runs away*
I just want all the episodes to be Blink or Dalek, really.
I really liked it!
Only one plot hole as far as I could tell.

Oh, I didn't actually watch it. I'm not nine.
But I'm still hoping there might be unicorns.

I thought Foster was a bit over the top. And then she died like a cartoon!
