But twee Cotswold cottages or Trafalgar Square isn't What Britain Looks Like either. You have to make a selection.

I'm not sure this episode would have drawn me to see more if it were the first one I'd ever seen, but as I read the comments above I kept thinking of Straczynski saying to people who criticized episodes of Babylon 5 that they should trust him because they had NO idea what he was building up to. That said, it may be more of an issue if it's the first episode of a season and you're trying to pull in new viewers... but Who seems to be enough of a cultural phenomenon by now that it may not need hordes of new viewers.

Aren't Apollo astronauts pretty much always positive figures, or am I just showing my age? It seemed weird to have a scary, murderous astronaut (granted, the suit was a bit off).
