What a lovely episode. And not just because of the local lad (which he was, trust me! I hear that accent every day). It balanced hope and built-in angst perfectly, and all the characters were *just* right. *squishes show*
Tommy was sweet, but the plot holes made it hard to take it seriously. Just how did TW1918 know enough to write all those pages of instructions? And why did they abandon Tommy to his fate once he had returned -
which they actually saw him do
?
It was fun, but I just wish for a touch more coherence. This show has so much potential and so often just misses.
The Radio Times guy thought it was much better than the "gaudiness" of the last two episodes though. Personally, I'll take all teh gaudy Captain John I can get!

This show has so much potential and so often just misses. Well it is getting a lot more stuff right this time, so I'm counting my blessings. *g* And RTD isn't brilliant on logic even at the best of times.
Personally, I'll take all teh gaudy Captain John I can get! Heh. I *adored* KKBB, but I also really, really liked the quiet character moments of this. (I'm easy to please!)
