Saw Gridlock last night, liked it but had some problems with it. It had some nice character bits but it didn't reall deliver on something the series has been building up to IMHO. Plus while I liked the conceptthe plot was pretty weak.



Agreed.

Watched it. Not very impressed. Not Davies worst, though. Once again, there were a lot of good ideas though the 'villains' in this one was pretty weak. It's also more of Davies coming back to concepts and characters he's done the previous seasons.

I thought is had a good premise. I just think that Davies is too stuck on recycling characters from past episodes to have made it as good as it should have been. I think I'd have enjoyed the episode more had the motorway been part of some devious plan. The upper city trying to solve an overburdening and overpopulating lower class problem. Or the monsters themselves having concocted the plan as a way to feed themselves from an almost limitless supply of food. The way it came off, instead, is that the Face of Boe was a dick for not reprogramming the computer to keep people out of the fast lane and harm.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
