Wow! People don't like this one, do they??

Me, on the other hand, I had fun with it! It's nothing too amazing, but it's fun. You've got some great side characters, an interesting concept to start with Phobos, and I think this one is funny! I enjoyed the unraveling of this mystery.

I also, in particular, enjoyed the 8th doctor in this. I liked his speech. I liked that Lucie is starting to get more of an idea of just how ancient the Doctor is, how much terror he's seen.

This is a fun, inconsequential, run of the mill Doctor Who story. That's all it had to be, and frankly all I expected from it. I had a smile on my face most of the listen, and I kept going "people don't like this one?! What??"

But, hey, I'm glad I liked it. It's one of those moments of "I'm glad I made up my own mind about this". Because truly you have to. I've skipped stories before because of low ratings, only to come back to them later and find, oh, I liked it, or it wasn't as bad as it seemed.

I wasn't very into Blood of the Daleks or Horror of Glam Rock, but Immortal Beloved and Phobos has me interested again on continuing this season. I look forward to more!
