07:31 WAIT A SEC! Look to the right; that's Cassandra! Wasn't she already dead by this point in the story?!

[MrTARDISreviews]

@Ereldor Nope, at that point they were trying to figure out who murdered the steward. She was very much alive at that point.

Do you draw the little cartoons at the beginning? Because I think that they're quite brilliant.

[MrTARDISreviews]

@sitbunnynow I wish i did. But my title cards are drawn by a very talented young artist named 'MoonmenUnit42'.

I personally really enjoyed this episode. Probably because of the "Who exactly IS this Doctor person anyway?" plot points. I certainly remember being a bit shocked that The Doctor wouldn't do anything to prevent the end of the world at first.

Also, I guess I must have been the only 12 year old that didn't work out that Cassandra was the villain. I was too busy boogie-ing to 'Tainted Love' to think about stuff like that :D

@JackChristmas2 Worst part about being a critic: You always miss a few points and don't realise it till your audience points it out =P haha

[nodgkin9th]

what about that song at the start the "get away" song. I love that song,i hate toxic too!

[TukkToT]

toxic isn't modern anymore, but till the world ends is more appropriate don't you think, if it was out at this time...

[IisPAD]

@WoWplayer791 ikr! But 'Baby' wasn't around in 2005 lol.

[LifterC3]
