New Who Review for 42

[puppetmaker]

This is going to be rather short since I have to finish packing for Cape Cod and have some errands to run before we leave this afternoon. The cats need food and the cat sitter needs litter and some food.

This is a ticking clock episode. 42 minutes to save the ship and figure out the mystery. For the most part it worked for me. Peter did see the problem coming a mile away but then he is a professional writer. There are some interesting phone conversations between Martha and her Mom. I can almost see why Martha's Dad left considering the pressure that her Mother tried to put on her. Good acting all the way around. And Mr. Tennant gets an award in the tall, thin and tortured category (I am figuring there are going to be about 8 of you who know what I am talking about). So good one off.

However next week is when it gets kicked up to the next level with a delightful script by Paul Cornell called "Human Nature."

Remember that there will be spoilers in the comments and but only to 42 no discussion of the next episode please.

Also I haven't any idea how good my internet connection is going to be for the next week so if I go quiet, it's not anything dire.

I am grateful for packing quickly.

Drat. I'll only get to see the first part of the Human Nature two-parter before leaving for Japan and Worldcon...at which Paul Cornell is listed as a guest.
