See the Fangrrl Squee

I just watched Gridlock and, honestly, I'm inclined to watch it again because my initial reaction is: ten minutes of good content wrapped up in thirty minutes of meh, and that's a bit of a bummer. The episode struck me as a pastiche of a half a dozen different ideas that had RTD's attention at the time of writing, which he somehow thought might all work en ensemble - and not all of them did.

As I say, I'm willing to watch it again before setting my opinion in stone. More thoughts as they occur to me.

However, I totally need an icon of the Doctor with kittens, 'cause, you know, that's even cuter than John Barrowman with a puppy.

Next week: Daleks in New York. I can deal with that but, oh god, does this mean 40 minutes of watching well-meaning Brits doing mangled American accents?
