dr. who

[Cyberkrel]

Sorry - not impressed - not an original thought in its head - the script at
the end was plain embarassing with the Dr and the tub of goo - the ideas
were a mix of The Avengers and Terminator 2 - and a lot of it was just
laughable - maybe that's the point - maybe we 're meant to laugh at it - not
take it seriously.
