I agree, though I had *thought* up until said episodes that they had opted for the latter option; thus, doubly disappointing.

Yes, the cheesy ending was a bit lame. The sort of thing I’d expect to seen in a 70s Hanna Barbera cartoon, or an episode of the 60s TV Batman, and it weakened what would otherwise have been a fairly good episode.

Doctor Who seems to be suffering from the same sort of schizophrenia as we saw in the Colin Baker and early Sylvester McCoy years. It can’t make up it’s mind whether it wants to be no more than a silly kids’ show, or a serious SF drama that appeals to adults as well as children. This season has veered uncomfortably back-and-forth between the two, and that just doesn’t work.

I generally enjoyed this episode, but the worst thing by far (even considering the goofs, which I didn’t notice at the time) was the touchy-feely “it’s a beacon of hope, a beacon of love” crap they gave Huw Wossname to blather on about.

If that kind of dross has to exist at all, it should be confined to the side of the Atlantic where it belongs.

Next weekend I’m at a gaming convention, the following week I’m on holiday in Switzerland.

My Internet connection is still on dialup, which makes downloading it too slow.

I thought Fear Her was MUCH better than last week’s pile of drek. Creepy as hell, but ultimately warmhearted.

Why aren’t you going to be able to see the last two episodes? I can hardly wait; the sense of impending doom is thick enough the slice with a butterknife…
