I'm defiantly getting better at watching these and not cringing at the effects. The ghost people were slightly creepy, mostly the old lady rather than the other ones. I was slightly confused as to why the Doctor was so against being in Cardiff, can any Brits explain that to me? (Is this like the everyone hates Welsh people thing, I just don't understand.) My friend and I were very worried about Rose being Chloroformed by the creepy mortician. His assistant, Gwyneth, was a nice girl, her part was acted very well and even though she didn't have a huge part, her death was sad. One thing that bothered me was the conversation between her and Rose. I feel like a woman from 1869 would be much more appalled my Rose's observations of men's butts. Again, this is a TV show, I can't let my history nerd-ness get in the way.
I also want to mention the bond between the Doctor and Rose. I really enjoy their friendship. I know that Rose is the more "romantic" of the companions, but I like that they can have a platonic friendship. I'm a big believer in male/female friendships and I love seeing them portrayed in shows. If this changes, I'll be a little disappointed.
I really liked sassy Charles Dickens. I had my own personal dislike for the character, for the sole reason that I dislike Charles Dickens' writing. However, his sarcasm was wonderful. I can't help but think that the real Dickens would have been similar to the one in this episode. You'd have to be pretty angry to write such depressing books.
I'm off to bed to now. I'll try to post my review for the next episode, but I suppose I should socialize at college.
Till next time
