Out of the whole S1, I find this episode as the least impressive episode. I don't hate it, but it's just, I find this episode is not as good as others.
Honestly, I was almost expecting a bunch of responses telling me I was crazy for not getting how good this one was. I'm glad I'm so not in the minority here.
After Dalek (complete with all the emotional thingy), this episode is quite, well, lame. Oh, and I also find that in this episode, RTD want to emphasize more on Adam's selfishness and his incapability to be The Doctor's companion and he finally was being 'dumped' back home.
Lame is honestly the perfect word. It DOES have some cute Doctor/Rose moments, but there was too much focus on Adam as this one-dimensional character and the actor was unable to bring any depth to it.
One scene that bother me so much is when The Doctor left Adam there, complete with the hole in his head, without giving it any second thought. I mean, he, out of all people, must know the danger of such futuristic technology, but yet, he just leave him there with a message to "live a quiet life". It's un-Doctor-ish.
I KNOW!!!
However, there are some sweet little moments too. No much handporn, but it's still sweet nonetheless. Oh, and I also like his expression when Rose was telling Adam about where and when they were. He looked so proud of her! *grin*
Yes, the Doctor/Rose moments, at least, WERE adorable. At least, Rusty didn't let us down there.
