    some of it did come across as a back handed compliment....when someone describes something as hokey i am not sure they meant it well.

    According to the Radio Times he was meant to be multi-sexual!

    I think the writer of the article quite liked the programme but found the ending a bit much.

    The gun practice scene was very nice - I think I might have another look at that! :D

    The impression that I get from that article is one of great fondness for the quirkiness of this series.

    I'm probably overthinking this, as it's not exactly a show to be "thought about" that hard, but I was rather uncomfortable with it, if only cos Gwen was (who had never even helf a gun before) was patently finding shooting guns "sexy" a couple of weeks after seeing a woman blow her brains out five feet from her . :(

    I can vaguely recall on one of the DWC shows RTD discussed this , I think it was something along the lines of CJ being from a time where there were so many aliens etc. that it wasn't just a choice between straight/gay/bi and CJ was the 'anything that moves' type - it does make me wonder though if there's a connection to the 'hand in the jar' , it does seem to be very important to him ;)

    it seems that 80% of people believe the show is good or better.

    about a million times better than last week, but still spoiled by Cheezy Capt Jack at the end as the sun set over Cardiff (oh the romance!)

    I was surprised that a policewoman had no idea of how to handle a gun.

    Still loving it though.

    Why? Most UK police officers don't have firearms training

    isn't the hand in the jar…
    the doctor's hand from when it was cut off? he grew one back because he had just regenerated and so could grow one back… apparently…

    that's what i heard anyway…

    I've loved all the episodes so far and this is no exception. I never really watched Docter Who that much because it was always on at a bad time. I'm really getting into this though. :cool:

    Well, after an uncertain and rather silly episode 2...

    This one was brilliant :D And really really chilling, being able to see your own future. Brrr.

    I think it's the 'human' thing. If you see a big red button (esp if it says DO NOT PRESS) you have an urge to do just that ...

    G

    Question is, what happens when a sign lights up saying "do not press this button again"?
