Really nicely backed up opinions there.

I enjoyed that episode.

Storyline-wise it was good, but nearly obvious (ventured on the insurance-claim territory there). I could also tell at some points that someone was going to die. But it didn't really matter as it was a thoroughly enjoyable episode. Alonso Frame was great- still acting as authority and helper to everyone on the ship despite getting shot. It would've been nice if Mr. Copper of Alonso went with the Doctor (so he could have a male companion, excluding Jack, and so he could go "Allons-y Alonso!".)
 I'm a bit worried about Mr. Copper. £1,000,000? It'll be difficult to buy a house and such, with his limited experience on such like the housing market, insurance and heating the place, powering the place.
But I over-analyse.

Overall a thouroughly enjoyable show.
Information- 8/10.

Oh, those hosts would be great in a Benny-Hill-esque chase- going "Kill, Kill, Kill" in their silly voices with Yakety Sax playing. Oh yes!

Why did Astrid have to die...?
Although I thought it was funny when she got on the first aid box.

I understood the end until The Doctor kissed her before she disappeared into space. I thought that was a hologram...?

And the Queen sucked. They should have crashed into her.

All round good episode, and it was good to see Richard do something that isn't Keeping Up Appearances.

9/10, since it drove me to tears.

Well I don't think that the Doctor is an Anti-Royalist whom would kill himself and everyone else on board just to bump off dear old Lilibet.

It wasn't a hologram... It was the last stardusty atoms of her mostly lost self. There wasn't enough of her left to be a full, conscious person, but there was the echo of it still there. As I said earlier, it was very Phillip Pullman, that bit.

I'm pretty sure that the human eye can't see atoms, and that they don't necessarily glow all blue and fairydust-like. But that could just be me.

The human eye can see atoms. You're looking at them now.

It was a collection of atoms just like a real person is. Just, less firm.

Okay, let me put that another way.

The human eye cannot see a single atom on it's own. That's atom. Singular.

And I notice that you haven't decided to explain why an atom would be blue and look like it came from Tinkerbell.

Oh, I was referring to the version of her that still looked like her, the one he kissed.

For the stardusty floaty blue Tinkerbell bits...

Hm, well... Maybe they were still clumped together?

Or alternatively, artistic license.

Well, I don't think she'd be a blue ghost if approximately half her atoms weren't there... she'd be a mess on the floor, and even if the machine was attempting to 'reassemble' her she'd still have colour (although I imagine she'd be a bit faded/translucent). That bit was down to interpretation really, I guess.

Artistic License is one thing, but really... it's science-fiction, and while things like lazers and made-up names are fine and dandy, contradicting scientific facts can really take away the believability factor.

Some would say that time travel and being aged centuries by a laser beam and defeating millions of evil witches with a Harry Potter spell also contradict scientific facts.

Time travel hasn't been disproven by any means, and the witches hardly contradicted known science; they just used made-up science.

Time travel can't happen, cause time dosn't exist.

Anyways, I liked that episode. Not the best by far, but was good to have a different one off companion. Oh and it had a few funny one-liners.

Who else thought that capricorn was a cheap, Davros rip-off? Hopefully those weren't what the rumours were about.

Posts over three words long, please.

And, yeah, time doesn't exist, what?

What did everyone think of this year's Christmas Song, 'The Stowaway'?
