-Ninjas! I actually found myself appreciating the atmosphere and such, and the way the ninja costumes do stand out amazingly against the background and against all the other costumes. It just really worked for me.
-I squee over accentness. Squee.
-Heh, they think Rose is naked. Heh!
-Omg, now there is canon betting about things. It's like nos' infected it.
-"She's a feral child, bought her for sixpence in Old London..." Somebody write this AU? Plz?
-"stars and magic" yay. The Doctor appreciating that guy's dad. Kind of makes me want a post-ep where they go back and visit the guy, but maybe not.
-As soon as Rose promised that girl she'd be all right, I said, "she's dead." I was quite surprised to turn out wrong, but still. Silly Rose. Who actually did all right, in that she attempted to communicate with the alien (but apparently does not recall the Bad Wolf thing. And I'm assuming the "you're like the sun" is a reference to glowy-Time-Vortex) and also did not just sit and wait for rescue but organised people into escape and suchlike.
-Aww, Victoria misses her hubby.
-The werewolf was quite good, I thought. Still vaguely man-shaped, but wolfy (unlike the HP one which I thought was crap).
-obligatory-glasses-moment made me gleeful. and books, books upon books! *loves books*
-The Koh-I-Noor. Ooh, baby.
-moon-laser good idea but effects OTT. You could probably focus the light into a weapon but the telescope wouldn't do that glowy thing and there wouldn't be sound effects. And anyway moonlight is just reflected sunlight so I don't really see what the light-variant thing was about; if you compare the two they're the same, just out of phase (iirc, of course).
-Sir Doctor of TARDIS! Eee! But then her little speech seemed a bit OTT; like, OK, ma'am, whatever.
-Yes, Torchwood, we get it already. They are pushing it a little, methinks, but at least it gives us a bit of background.

Pacing seemed OK to me - not too many overt info-dumps, not too many slow bits. Though I admit I do tend to switch off my critical faculties when it comes to stuff I love like this. So. Eee.

And next week! Doctor pretends to be teacher! There is Mickey and Sarah-Jane and K-9 and evil!ASH! *is excited*
