Ahem.

Pathetic Earthling!

PANCAKES!

Episode One was mediocre at best. It suffered mainly from being a Sontaran/Rutan story, without Sontarans or Rutans. It also, suffered from cartoonish animals,the ridiculous marker pen-thing gadgets, Tennant being given more silly - something he can't do well AT ALL, though this is more the fault of the stupid writing than anything else, IMO. By my sword, Bloodaxe, this was bad!
Episode Two: Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Episode Three: OK. Now we're getting somewhere. This one was mediocre. Which, on a relative scale, in relation to other RTD proferrings, makes it about an 8/10.
Episode Four: Might have worked without the pigs. WHY PIGS?! Also, the stupid bisexual reference was shoehorned an unnecessary, a continuity cock-up on a grand scale by claiming that it was during the Time War that Skaro was destroyed, Daleks Jules and Sandy were almost as camp as usual, the worst American accents I have yet to hear, and a plot that was just a tad bit limp. The direction was good, the sets were good, the acting was reasonable, and most of the dialogue was OK-to-good. The Laslo subplot was nauseating. 5.5/10 absolute score, 10/10 on the 'RTD-is-thick-as-two-short-planks-so-let's-pretend-it's-worth-more' scale.
