I did actually watch the whole of the Eccleston series, yes, even though I didn't like either his doctor or Rose, so I think probably I can't have been seeing anything I objected to in the laziness of the dialogue and the plotting as much as I did in that episode. Creating Eccleston clones didn't help, I suppose. And isn't Derek Jacobi as the Master such a better idea than another Tennant? What does this series have against people who aren't very much like David Tennant?
