His hair made me LAUGH SO HARD. And I am totally loving it; I was missing Rose's myriad hairstyles from S2, so I'm glad it seems like we'll be getting the Doctor as a substitute for S4. ;p
Vesuvius was amazing, but the snow landscape was too pristine; I think that's what bothered me. It was so shiny and perfect that I couldn't see it as real. And for some reason, whenever they did a 'sweeping' scene shot, I thought of Star Wars, episodes 1, 2, and 3. 0_0
but the references to slavery in human history struck me as a bit tired and... old school.
Actually, I kinda felt the same way after a second viewing of the episode. I guess it'd be hard not to utilize parallels, but I suppose I wish they'd tried a bit harder. I didn't recognize the writer for this episode, though.
I'm starting to think that I'm putting too much into every little detail in the show. Davies, for all we know, could be winding us up because he knows the buzz about Tennant leaving. IT COULD BE. I've grown fond of Tennant's Doctor; I'd probably cry just as hard for him as I did for the Ninth Doctor if he leaves after 2009.
