Watching Doctor Who with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ou3fs is always a joy; I'm sure that I simply get more out of watching it in their company, because they are so effervescent with joy at things I haven't even noticed, that it enriches my understanding and thus my enjoyment. Can we book that room every week? Also, Donna is so beating Martha on awesomeness points. Flying the TARDIS? Supertemp? Loved it all. Do not love Guantanamo-Bay-UNIT. Not sure whether all the poison gas at the end of the episode is in fact *the Doctor's fault* for fiddling around with that Atmos unit; would he not then be responsible for *lots and lots* of death?
I can't claim this as an original thought, stealing it as I did from some someone on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
parrot_knight's journal, but didn't this one really come across as if Helen Raynor had written a Cybermen story, then been told that they wanted Sontarans, and not bothered to change, well, anything beyond the name of the villains? Atmos is just earpods again, and Martha-cloning is the same as Adeola-earpod-control. Then again, I wonder how many Pertwee-era stories I could fit into this mould if I felt like it?
