Well I liked this eppy, similarity to The Imposible Planet and The Satan Pit aside. I was also hoping for another Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference, like in Christmas Invasion, just after his hands been chopped off and regrown, and he's commenting on saving the planet in his jammies like Arthur Dent. I love HHG2G.

Liked the real time pace as well. Gave the episode a greater sense of immediacy and how frantic the situation was getting at the end.

I was in complete agreement of the Doctor's comment about humans. We are like that, we exploit everything to our own benefit regardless of the consequences (*cough*Iraq!*cough*). My sister thinks I'm wierd when I start cursing 'bloody stupid humans!' lol. Many days spent wishing for extra-terrestriality

I think the jealous look was there; Martha is the Doctor's friend, not Ash's! lol.

I give this eppy a 4/5.

Average. Too much like the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit episode duo.

I also think they're making the Martha character work too hard to be like Rose. Why have another cute companion be a Rose-clone, falling in love with the Doctor? Let's create a platonic relationship, not unrequited or impossible love. Urgh....
