Good afternoon. In this post I shall proceed to follow the good ol' fashioned blogLSP tradition of reviewing the latest Doctor Who. Before I start, I know I should save this for the review, but WOW;
4.2 THE FIRES OF POMPEII.
*****
RUNNING TIME: 45 mins. STARS: David Tennant, Catherine Tate.
IN A NUTSHELL:
If Episode One was the SEGA megadrive, The Fires of Pompeii would be the Wii. Definitel
y in my top ten new series episodes and Catherine Tate, I love you! Your acting is that of my dreams, you amazing woman!
MY HUMBLE OPINION:
It was so much better than last week that one would think it was a different show. There was no flashing space ships flying above London exceedingly low. There was no insolent reporters hiding in toilet cubicles. There was no nagging Mums. There was no former-soap stars that have enough ham and cheese to make 50,000 sandwiches. And there certainly wasn't any comedy delayed falls. What there was was a fantastic supporting cast, a believable historic setting, a monster that had jumped through a magic door from Lord of the Rings, some superb acting from the Tate and a water pistol! The episode's ending was it's peak. Tate's emotion in the end section was to die for and the whole theme is something Doctor Who hardly ever deals with. It was so so much better than last series' tongue-in-cheek, The Shakespeare Code history-wise as well. Fantastic.
So, as I always say, keep LOST-theorying, keep watching Who, but more importantly, come back to blogLSP. And be good! That's all, folks.
