I'm far from sure what that episode was actually about (though I think the Doctor may have just beaten Ego the Living Planet from Fantastic Four) but the crowd scenes were very impressive-very 'Mos Eisley'! Imagine if we'd been able to say that about an episode of Doctor Who in 1977?  Razz

Everybody keeps saying Blade Runner or Star Wars, whereas I saw Hellboy II. <shrug>

A bit of a nothing episode to be honest, but as has been said, a perfectly pleasant way to spend 45 minutes in the company of an increasingly assured Smith and the hardly hard on the eye J-LC.

Neither did I. Loved the first one, though.

Hellboy II was, in my opinion, just a slight bit better than the first. And I also have to agree with BluesShark that this episode's crowd scenes were more reminiscent of THAT than Star Wars or Blade Runner.

I loved both Hellboy movies (but I am both a Hellboy nut from the first issue of the series and a Del Toro fanboy since Cronos), but they are very diifferent - the first one is Mignola's Hellboy, the second one is definitely Del Toro's.

Yes - no plot, but the pictures and soundtrack were very pretty. Sort of like a sci-fi themed relaxation DVD.

A tone poem, I thought. I liked the speech about possibilities, although it was a tad sophomoric.

Yes, but we WERE able to say they had good scripts, which is more than you can say these days.

That was dire.

As a last minute replacement for another script. 'Hide' was his first script, and I think it's obvious he spent more time on it.

Yes, 'cos it doesn't read like an all-nighter. 'The Rings of Akhaten' is mostly filler. Good-looking filler, though.

I though it was a boring episode.
