So, evidently "The Girl in the Fireplace" is either a LOVE IT or HATE IT episode.  Which puts me in a bind because I liked it.  I'm firmly in the middle on that episode.

I couldn't buy into the romance, I didn't see any chemistry between David Tennant and Sophia Myles.  And the Doctor really bothered me in this episode.  But I like Reinette more and more everytime I watch this episode.  Especially in her scene with Rose.

But everywhere I look I see posts that are either completely RAVING about the episode or seething with RAGE over it.  It's bothersome.  

But I'm not surprised.  I think I suffered from the fact that I watched S1 and S2 back to back which was probably a bad idea for a Nine-lover such as myself.  If maybe I had that year or so between seasons, it would have worked in my favor.  But it really didn't.  Instead I just kept thinking, I can't think of any episode in S1 that I hated.  Hate's a strong description, but there were two or three episodes in S2 that come darn close.

"Love & Monsters" comes instantly to mind.  I loved the idea, adore some of it, but it just fell so completely flat.  "Rise of the Cybermen" probably follows that.  I'm not so hot on a couple other episodes.

I feel like I've posted this a million times before, but it's just I had such expectations for this season and I was really disappointed with the direction and the writing and I'm the lone person that didn't like "Doomsday", and roll my eyes at the constant posts of "OMG I watched Doomsday AGAIN and CRIED, OMG" (so sorry if that offends anyone, but seriously, it's how I feel and this is my journal).  I cried at the end, it did momentarily break my heart, and yet I felt relieved.

Anyway, this was just to say, who thought what about "The Girl in the Fireplace"?

I had to post this now, or I would continue to play with them and then you'd never get them

Even though I posted this in time_and_chips, I wanted to also have this in my journal for those that watch Doctor Who but aren't on that list.

While I thought the two-parter was truly wonderful, probably, IMHO, the best two of this series, I do have one minor problem...

Spoilers...as it pertains to something in the episode "The Satan Pit".

Well?  Anyone else's thoughts?
