At Eastercon with about three minutes of web acess left before my credit runs out...

checked my mail... ebay... etc...

One spoilery question for Who fans...



Don't you think it would have been a better end to the story, and much more in character, if Cassandra had taken over her younger body and told the Doctor to get stuffed?

And hey - Victorian ninja werewolves!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that would have worked better. There was lots of potential in the idea which was never really explored. I felt the whole thing was a bit "edited highlights" - there was enough material there to do a couple of deep stories, but they rushed it too much. "The sisterhood have a secret" went straight to "Here's the secret!" without any real buildup or effort to investigate it.

And if it was that easy to cure the diseased "non-people", why wasn't there a sprinkler system built into the intensive care unit in case of an escape? Why didn't Cassandra hide in one of the newly cured "non-people" - she could then have escaped and been the basis for another story later. A bit disappointing, I felt.

Hopefully the Victorian Werewolves will be more the thing.

I am becoming convinced by David Tennant though - when he was announced I was very unconvinced he'd work, but he seems to.

It all seemed very bitty, and solving the infected people was just bollocks.

That said I enjoyed it and I'll carry on watching, but, it's not like it was in the old days! I'd much rather have 2 or 4 part stories than the single episode format.

I sound like I'm about 90.

Mr Tennant was very good, and though it sticks in my throat to say so, so was Ms Piper.

I think she probably did take over her younger body. I half suspect we won't have seen the last of Cassandra, and next time we see her, it will be in the form of her younger body.

Who's to say that's not what she did? After all, the Doctor didn't stick around to make sure she was actually dead.

What they said. After all, Cassandra died at the end of the last episode she was in, didn't she?

Welllll... who says she didn't? R&D left a little too early to be sure.

Nice to see Ms Piper using her real accent though.
