I didn't say it was boring because it wasn't about the main plot for the year. It was just a really dull and tedious episode--and being a two-parter means that the next is sure to be just as bad.

And for the love of Jebus, will they get off the fuggin' Earth and go see other places and other times? Only about 10% of the episodes actually bother to do that. For a show with such a huge potential, having a vehicle that can literally go anywhere, anywhen, they sure haven't been making use of it. In the old show they did that all the time! And many of the companions weren't even from here at all, or were from other eras of history. But no, we have to keep seeing present day Earth over and over again, even though it's a completely boring place to be in a science fiction premise. Blah.
