Just.. just perfect. A story that really shows off Eccleston's acting ability like when he's in the cage and you can just feel his anger, PTSD and sadness all at once and then at the end when he's trying to kill it and Rose calls him out, he gets a mirror held up and it terrifyes him

Fun little sketch with not much beyond that, a good look at a 90s DW look for Sylvester with his longer TV Movie hair but his Doctor outfit

I LOVE the domestic feel of this story

Yeah good shout Doctor since you've just survived your planet being destroyed why not take her down with you might be fun. I do love all the different species in here and it shows just how odd the universe can be, although for some reason merch at the time thought the mox of balhoon was a villain for some reason?? Jabe the babe deseved better 

Solid story a lot better than I remember and its nice to see Nine get a sneaky christmas special. I really like the Gelth as a concept as gassious beings from another world and furthering the concept that the time war affected a lot more of the universe than the Doctor ever realised

Nice to see Gwen a good couple years before Gwen

As good as I remember, still a perfect reintroduction to the show, the way we follow Rose and then the monster and then the doctor is perfect, everything in this episode really does just build perfectly although I would have loved the original idea of having all the faces in Clive's shed...an odd choice to not do that

Man autons are underused.. this is their 3rd story and we're still just doing shop dummies which I like as a callback to their classic apperances but Terror showed them doing so much more and the Doctor and Rose talk about how much more they can do but...still just dummies
