2025 Rewatch

• I have always had a soft spot for this episode and it continues one, it's a perfect second episode
• Fully takes advantage of the idea of going to the future, it's a story of loss and endings
• It was great to see Rose fully react to everything, you don't always get that realistic characterisation, especially not anymore
• I love that the story slips into the sub-genre of the murder mystery/espionage
• It's just a lot of fun, I adore the world of 'New Earth' it's one of RTD's best additions to the show

From what I can remember, it’s pretty solid! I like the setting quite a lot and I enjoy seeing all those different aliens in that setting, they all work wonderfully!
From what I remember, the best scenes are with 9 and that tree woman, where he gets a bit more vulnerable. It’s nice to see this darker incarnation of the doctor getting some needed doctory silly moments and overall I think it’s a solid good second Episode, far from the Highs of this Series, but still a pretty fun watch!

Cassandra is in so little of the show as a whole but is cemented as one of the most iconic villains of the entire franchise with the two episodes she has.

A fun follow-up to Rose. Eases the new viewer into more aliens and the system of time travel within the universe. The overall plot is nothing to write home about, but it does the job it needs to. Platform Nine is an absolutely gorgeous set, and I do quite enjoy the overall design language of this episode. However, this is definitely not an episode I revisit often, as I feel that, despite taking place billions of years in the future, this is one of the most dated-feeling episodes of this series. Something with the color palette, I don't know. Overall, an enjoyable enough story, and a great second episode

The Doctor modifying Rose's phone so it can call Jackie even that far into the future is so sweet. Cassandra, despite immaculate skin care, is a nasty woman.
