That was the most romantic Who episode I've ever seen. (Romantic in the sense of sweepingly emotional and epic, rather than in the smoochy sense). The seven-year-old girl being saved by a man who tells her it's a dream, then later she meets him again and again; a 'lonely angel' who watches over her; and then she goes to her deathbed with faith that he'd come back for her, and he didn't, and he knows of her faith in him anyway. Beautiful.
Liked Mickey. He's slow, that one, but it doesn't mean he never gets there. It took him a long time to manage what Rose managed in twenty seconds, and decide he wanted ot go in with the Doctor, but now it's nice to see him so open to it all. And yet still a little bit dim, all that rolling about with the freeze thing . Nice to see DT's Doctor still teases him, but it's in a *nice* way. I always thought CE was a bit too nasty to Mickey, it used to seem like the 'battle of wits with an unarmed man' scenario (thought I admit it was very funny). Rose seems to have got over her initial irritation at mickey coming along. Good.
I liked the reveal at the end too, with the name of the ship.
Best line: "I'll need money. Always been a bit vague about money. How do you get money?"
