Doctor Who: Series 1: Episode 2: The End Of The World

Now, this is what I call the weaker side of DW!

Plot Summary:
The Doctor takes Rose to a space station to witness the death of planet earth along with many other different aliens and creatures, such as: The forest of Cheem and the Face of Boe. Then!!! Cassandra comes out! Cassandra is obsessed with beauty treatments to make her look thin and beautiful. But she went too far and is now a piece of skin (with eyes and mouth) stretched onto a metal frame. And she also believes she is the 'last human' (aside from Rose.)

Later on, Jabe (from the Forest of Cheem) takes a liking to the Doctor and asks him to explore with him.Rose is pretty jealous at this point but decides to stay put with the aliens and creatures. After a while one of the cleaners spots something down a vent and goes to investigate. But as she climbs in, she is grabbed and pulled down the vent (we assume she had died).

As the Doctor and Jabe are exploring, another death has taken place. And as soon as the Doctor has heard about this goes to find out what has gone on.

My Thoughts:
So far, this isn't a standout episode it seems quite dull in my opinion and it is quite frankly. Basically a murderer is on the spacestation, when I first saw it, the whole murder thing didn't seem to work for me! The only time murder mysteries have worked DW is later on when the series had reached it 4 year. When we found out who the murderer was, it wasn't a shock! (It was Cassandra) Then she targeted Rose! And that bored me to death! The whole episode for me was an absolute LET DOWN: 3/10 (AND THAT'S BEING GENEROUS)
