Tooth And Claw is another one that has its merits but is, overall, really quite dull. The portrayal of Queen Victoria was endearing but tremendously implausible. +3 for Tennant using his Scottish accent, but -5 for him dropping it again.
Is it just me who found SJS really quite hot in School Reunion? And Evil!Giles for teh win. I loved the interactions between Rose and Sarah-Jane, and they proved that the only thing a man finds more scary than watching the missus and the ex bicker is walking into a room and finding the missus and the ex giggling. The Doctor's goodbye to SJS was heart-wrenching. But then anything can make me cry.
The Girl In The Fireplace (the first one so far that I was seeing for the first time) is very soppy, and I couldn't quite understand why the Doctor seemed to basically fall in love with Mme Pompador. She was hot, though-gosh! That yelling! And the costumes were brilliant, and +10 for Drunk!Doctor. This one really was was very soppy. Though if I were the Doctor, I'd have jumped into my TARDIS and gone straight back to 18thC France and picked her up, which surely must be possible once the original time windows had been closed. I loved this, actually.
