New Who 6.6: The Almost People

I watched this on Saturday at my parents' house, but then also rewatched the whole two-parter after I'd returned to Leeds, so that I could judge it as a whole and reassess some its earlier parts in the light of later revelations. So this review will go back over The Rebel Flesh to some extent, as well as covering The Almost People. After all, as I said last week, The Rebel Flesh was very hard to judge in and of itself.

( That Ending and the build-up to it - in my view, Moffat and Graham between them botch the emotional weight of the scene )

Anyway, obviously that's the main issue everyone has been talking about since the episode aired, but there are a few other things which struck me about either or both episodes.

( The Rebel Flesh - acid baths, zeerust and badly parodied idioms )

( The Almost People - Doctor Which, Rory and red balloons )

( The coming two-parter - Roricus Pondicus and the she who tells )

All to be revealed in a scant 24 hours - woot!
