Not a great episode by any means. Mainly, I think, because Martha's family just don't interest me. Leo's quite amusing but Tish is just dumb and Francine is incredibly annoying.
Lazarus himself just doesn't really interest me. I think I'd find him more scary if he didn't keep reverting to the CGI creature. I'm more interested in villains with brains and cool dialogue than random creatures chasing you and trying to eat you. His wife, actually, was a better character. Much scarier.
No really great stuff for the Doctor either, except looking nice in a suit. And I liked Martha's dress.
God, there must be more to say about this episode than that!
Oh! There's the Saxon stuff. I have literally only seen this episode the once, when it first aired, and it was interesting coming back to it after having rewatched the Master episodes so many times because although I knew there was obviously a connection between the Master and Lazarus, I'd forgotten about the guy coming up to Francine and trying to use her to turn Martha against the Doctor. That's really interesting. Is that really the Master trying to change his own timeline???
6/10
