As I wrote for the previous episode in that review, a lot of that also stands for this one. I think honestly Rose's mum had great involvement in this episode, and had a lot more depth in character than previously which I like. I think I previously found it quite strange how certain things would happen, like the plastic people, and then everything went back to normal and none of it was ever really mentioned again. But in this episode everything became more open, less swept under the rug and I enjoy that a lot. It makes it feel more realistic to what would actually happen, it gives not just the contents of the show actual meaning, but it gives the characters depth, the show some life and relatability to our own personal human nature and immersion because of all those things. I think the doctor a lot of times goes between the very human essence and then his alien essence more reveled, he can sometimes go a bit cold, but I guess the ways he goes cold is also things a human is also capable of, so. Even at the end of the episode, sort of not giving Rose much of a choice, I guess she can choose to do what she wants, as he can too, but I think he lacks empathy in a lot of senses also, he has a general empathy for the whole human, or species race, but when it comes down to specific beings, he struggles with empathy a little, if not a lot.
