Just finished watching the latest Doctor Who episode, Dinosaurs On A Spaceship.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

This is what Doctor Who should be! A gang of companions actively working and helping the Doctor, genocide is bad, aliens are great, awesome characters from history, the amazingness of space, and real lessons in gender politics. :D

The one thing I just don't understand is how they can think it's believable that all these people, after being the Doctor's companions on one mission, would just happily go back to their lives on Earth. With so much space and time to see, I'd never leave! Let's face it, in the show about spaceships, it's the one thing that just doesn't make any sense. ;)

This episode left me so cheerful, it's the Doctor Who I fell in love with. ♥

I really enjoyed the whole 'team picked from time to have an adventure.' I wish they'd do it more often, because I thought it worked so well.

Exactly! And I missed so much the idea of a companion's parent on the Tardis. After all the Doctor is old, he should enjoy the company of other grown-ups. I miss the days of Donna's grampa.

Not to mention, we finally had Amy acting as a true companion: she's been on hundreds of trips, by now she's a Time Lady way more than River, and yet usually she just runs around and nothing more. I was so delighted to see her investigate, solve the mystery, and act as if the two others were her companions. ♥

Anche a me è piaciuto un sacco! L'ho trovato divertente, con tanti di quei momenti buffi e familiari tipici di DW!

A pensarci, è stato stranissimo metterlo subito dopo Asylum of the Daleks. In quell'episodio, il Doctor gongola dopo aver massacrato tutti quei Dalek (e li avevamo appena visti per quello che erano, menti danneggiate che si credevano umane, assolutamente straziante), mentre qui condanna il genocidio dei Silurians e cerca di salvare a tutti i costi un mucchio di Dinosauri. Ed è così che dovrebbe essere, cacchio!
