cyranoFour episodes into Children of Earth.
I'd heard I would love the first half and hate the last half. So far, gearing up for the last episode, I've been pretty pleased.
The alien is interesting, the presentation has been good, I'm liking actual moral dilemna. The idea that the Doctor or whoever can't sweep in with a Deus Ex Machina and make it all better. (I mean, I know there'll be one later, but still.) I got furious about the discussion on how to select the useless, less desirable children for Soylent Greenification, which I think is a good sign. The one bit that twigged me so far was Jack and the "I surrender I promise not to fight have all the kids you want but don't take him" moment. (I could do with less of the ethereal wordless Enya soundtrack, but we've had that since the reboot.) I really *liked* the named character collateral damage, as opposed to the end of last season's collateral damage.
Seventy-five minutes to go. Fingers crossed.
Wow. No DeM. An actual price paid. (Of course Jack has to make sure it's All About Him. He's like Buffy.) The 'children in danger' bit was played with a ham hand, but I got all choked up when Andy finally jumped in to fight the Man. All in all, the goofy science did not make my head explode, and I generally quite liked it.
