Average, and for just a few moments screen time. The Sonic lippy was used way too much. It unlocked every door in a supposedly secure building without setting off any alarms. Ad then it was a weapon to escape a chase.

If it's so good, why doesn't she use it for everything.

Mr Smith going bad was a good plot device, but the ID4 virus actually making him good again was just silly.

It seemed like the whole thing was wrapped up on the spur of the moment.

I was so disappointed after the way the series has improved week on week and the first part of The Lost Boy was as good as it was. This one just left me flat.

I tried to start a topic on this three times the other day, and every time the lovely forum would eat it without displaying!

I'll post my comments and add the poll shortly.

I thought it was good. Agreed, the sonic lipstick was used a bit much, but it was still very enjoyable. My kids were enthralled

I loved it. But then, it takes alot for me to down a kids' show, especially a good one like this. My only disappointment was using the Slytheen again even though the way they did it was good and there was no farting this time which made them a bit more credible. I loved that K-9 came back and helped SJ save the day and good to see Alan getting a look-in. I'm a bit worried that Chrissy will move back in with him and Maria. I like her in small bursts but don't want her back for good. I wonder if it's such a good thing to have Alan in the know so soon considering that there may be a series 2 and even 3 one day. 5 characters saving the world. I do hope that Alan is indeed a good guy and not a sleeper for some cyber terrorist cell. I really hope they don't get too silly and do something like that. Good to see the sonic lippy back after 2 eps without it. I think it shouldn't be in every ep but I loved the way it was used in this one. I thought it was all too easy for her to get in and out of the building and just when you think she's out, the alarms go off. That's a really good effect and then the bike chase. A bit of excitement. We all enjoyed that.

And since when was Sarah a member of UNIT? She never worked for them. Perhaps she joined in later life. Anyway I thought it was a good wrap up to a great series. The last line was nice. Bring on more.

Overall quite a good conclusion to the story and to season 1.

Interesting in the revelation that Mr Smith used both Sarah and the Slitheen to help him achieve his goals.

K-9 makes a cameo as he shoots at Mr Smith, a machine battling another machine. which sort of makes up for the fact that K-9 was out of action in Destiny of the Daleks (meaning no Dalek-K9 fight).

A nice touch for the final scene.
