I really liked it! A nice start for the new season, the episode was light and fun and rather amusing. Poor sad Doctor though, but it balanced well with quirky Doctor. And I quite liked Donna. The first time I watched The Runaway Bride I wasn't that impressed with her but that was probably because I was still suffering after Doomsday but the second time I watched it I liked her a lot more and possibly even a little bit more now. I think she'll be a good (and funny) companion for the Doctor.

It was amusing how they kept missing running into each other so closely at the beginning and their conversation through the windows in the Adipose building had me laughing so hard. And when the Doctor fell through the window hahaha! And awwww the Adipose were so cute! (The fat just walks away... literally hahaha) See, aren't the cute? I want one.

I liked Donna's Granddad, he was really cool and I liked their scenes together. It amused me when he was looking away (this episode was chock full of irony) when the Adipose ship was right behind him lol. But it was really cool that they flew the TARDIS where he could see and waved to him.

The Adipose employee tied to the chair (and running out of the building still tied to the chair) made me laugh but really she reminded me of Martha's sister Tish. At first I even thought it might have been the same actress playing this part but it wasn't.

Okay... wait for it... zomg Rose! This is going to plague me all season long I know it. I wonder if she even knew Donna was there when Donna was talking to her. It kind of seemed like she was looking at something else (obviously not the action going on because her back was to it) and she seemed so sad. I've begun thinking that maybe both universes are colliding/merging for some reason (of course she would know about it and be investigating it and all) but perhaps they only bleed over/phase-shift at certain times which is why she faded away.

That's quite the hefty teaser to throw into the mix in the very first episode. I wonder if there will be any more of these "bleed overs" throughout the season leading up the the final episodes. If so, they've done a really good job keeping that quiet because I had no clue about this appearance. And I just want a real reunion dammit!

David Tennant was fantastic and so many great facial expressions just begging to be iconed... ;) I also don't know if I mentioned it when I first watched Voyage of the Damned but I like the new theme music.

Some funny lines:
"And you've got the same suit! Don't you ever change?"
"You've got a hatbox?"
And the ever amusing "I just want a mate"/"to mate" "you're just a long streak of nothing" lol. I wonder if that all was actually scripted or not. DT & CT are quite amusing together.

So, next week: Pompeii. Woooot!

And now I'm going to go burn this to DVD so I can watch it on the TV ;)
