I am in no way a fan of the Slitheen, and being over a decade since I've seen this series, I'd forgotten they were in it again. At the end of the last episode when I saw the preview, I was dreading it... but actually, it's pretty good. The "comical" farting is removed, we see less of the cringeworthy Slitheen itself, and it's a really good episode that deals with humanity, compassion, and morality. Christopher Eccleston is, as usual, stunning, and John Barrowman is also a delight.
I have to say, Rose's scenes with Mickey make her a bit unlikable. She runs off without a second thought about him, leaving him alone, but when he starts seeing someone else, that's not okay. Still, I don't think this is a case of bad writing. Unfortunately, this is just how people work. She came to an understanding of how she was making him feel by the end of the episode. I would say I'm excited to see where their relationship goes, but I know what's coming so that's not exactly true. Still, I do really care for them, and that's important.
Loved the shoutout to Wales and the Welsh too! I miss it dearly in the newer episodes.
Wyth allan o deg!
