(First watched 2007-07-13) Heh. Well, [[Harry Potter]] and [[Back to the Future]] references certainly weren't something seen in [[Doctor Who Season 1|60s Doctor Who]]. "Wait until you read book seven. I cried." | (First watched 2007-07-13) Heh.

(First watched 2007-07-20 and -25) I found this episode... unbelievable. In an allegorical sense I can appreciate that the people of the undercity were wasting their life away trying to get from one place to another, but... to have the entire upper city die off and noone notices? That they very quickly get used to taking decades to go from one place to another, when noone is actually reaching above after all? That nobody could figure out a way to open the ceiling? That there were giant devolved crab people living down there, somehow eating enough people to sustain a population even before there was the permanent traffic jam? That people already had the easy technology to create essentially free food and energy, but wanted to take a years-long trip to get a job? That even if the believed rules of traffic worked properly, it would actually be that hard to get a group of three or greater when EVERYONE wanted to get in the fast lane? | (First watched 2007-07-20 and -25) I found this episode... unbelievable.

The old couple dying in the intro reminded me of the folks in the American Gothic painting. I wonder if that was intentional. If so I don't see that it was supposed to mean anything... | |||
On a plus, the Doctor's trip down the levels dropping down and going through various odd peoples' vehicles was quite cool. | |||
