Discussion of Episode 4.05 "The Poison Sky" - Aired 3/5/08 (BBC1-UK)

[Angel's vision]

Now this had some funny moments in it like The Doctor with a gas mask on saying "are you my mummy?"
Donna going "back of the neck!"

Clone Martha was underused. She didn't do much expect disable the nuclear warheads or something like that and played into the Doctor's hands, he knew she was a phoney right from the start.
Martha's reaction to her clone and it's death was not full of the usual freak out reaction, but hey this is sci-fi!

The geeky kid's final act was redeemable and felt sad, and tragic, but Russ's death was more so.

The final scenes are intreging and once again after reading the info on ep6 Martha is a mary-sue again! Grrr!

It was much better than the first installment, wasn't it? What's a Mary-Sue?

[Bored of the Dead]

You all saw Rose right?

Anyway, this was definitely better than the last 2 installments. Donna was great, Martha wasn't but after reviewing season 3, she's better in Torchwood for me.

I loved the Earth 2.0

The Sontarans were far from scary HOWEVER they were great. Perfect Unit/Sontaran face off.

Great episode and although I enjoyed the Rose bit, now it really will be a matter of watching out for her again.

:(

N4H- A Mary-Sue is to the best of my knowledge a girl who keeps getting into scraps like being kidnapped as part of the plotline.The nickname stems from a charactor of the said name and nature...

I saw Rose-but for a brief second-I want to see how her re-appearance is going to happen and how the Dr is gonna react to it, just because now I'm very curious.

[N4H]

Yeah I caught Rose. She's screaming "Doctahhh...". Did you see that little post-it on the top right of the computer screen? Can that mean anything, do you think? It has some weird kind of insignia.

So is Rose trapped between realities, fading in and out, or is she trying to cross over, and not quite making a full connection. Is she sending, or being sent? Could she still have some sort of physical connection with the TARDIS as a result of the second season finale?

I'm looking forward to seeing how fifth doctor Peter Davison's daughter, Georgia Moffett, does in the next episode as "the" Doctor's daughter.

Only caught the last few minutes of this unfortunately...grrr..... even missed the Rose bit. :( I shall be taking the time to watch all of it though before the weekend!

I did hear the 'Are you my Mummy?' line which was funny. The Sontarans reminded me of the main character in Supermen Lovers 'Starlight' video, he looked like a baked potato too 'lol' Or maybe it's just me..... probably. ;)
