*pout*

So the person who normally puts up the really really fast episode downloads apparently hasn't done so this week - at least not yet. So I have to resort to other sources, which are far too slow for my liking.

*looks at the 1 hour and 51 minutes remaining and sighs*

ETA: Oh, you little bastard! I thought I had found another download that looked really good - it was going quite impressively fast to start off with, so I cancelled the one I had going. And naturally, as soon as I do that, the fast download slows down immensely.

I had an hour and half to go on it. Now I have to wait three hours for the new one. *emo*

ETA2: ...Or not. It's speeding up on me again. Now only 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Quick thoughts

Just some quick thoughts on The Satan Pit after my initial viewing, some on my opinion of the episode, on some on the repsonses I have seen so far.

Firstly: I liked it muchly. I don't think as much as the first part, because the build up is always creepier than the pay-off, and I am a fan of creepy and atmosphere when it comes to this sort of thing. That said, this two parter still rates very, very highly for me.

And it made you think a bit, had some great moments, had some moving moments, had a distinct lack of things that annoyed me, though it wasn't perfect.

However, the annoyance factor has shown up for a few people on my flist, and like with Girl in the Fireplace - but from different people - it's about an interpretation that completely bewilders me.

( The so-called Rose > Universe thing )

So, quite frankly, to the people on my flist who think the Doctor was putting Rose ahead of the Universe in this episode, I haven't the faintest clue where you are getting your ideas.

And something to keep in mind: character hate can distort perceptions just as much as character love.

The Randomness of Forums

Someone called the last episode of Doctor Who "The Satin Pit." Now that's an interesting mental image.

Also, because I forgot to put it in my comments below, I am so looking forward to next week's episode. It looks so much fun.
