	(First watched 2011-06-05, -10, -11)  Wotan seems all over the place in tech.  On the one hand, he can understand human speech and is said to be a true thinking machine.  On the other he prints his answers out on paper and they're amazed he can do square roots.  And did he refer to the Doctor as "Doctor Who" at the end?

	Wotan sure seems to do things the hard way.  Maybe that can be taken as a sign that he is far from perfect as a 1960s AI.  He can cause people to come under his control, so his plan for taking worldwide control is to take over a few important people and a few grunts to make war machines?  Why not play the mind control ditty over the radio?  Or take over the Prime Minister?  Or just let the planned worldwide computer connection occur first, since they were going to give him a shitload of control anyway?  Then there's "Doctor Who".  If he knows enough to know what TARDIS means, perhaps he should know enough that it's best to lay low until the guy takes off.

	A lot of this episode looks a lot more real than most episodes, and understandably so.  Though the war machine itself is sci-fi bullshit, military uniforms and modern alleyways are a bit less difficult to get right than, say, crazy bee people or a society fighting a laser gun battle in robes.  I like that in the old show the cast changes come at less regular intervals, but I really really hope there are no more exits as lazily done as Dodo's.  Sending her off for recuperation after the second episode and never seeing her onscreen again?
