Doctor Who: Dreamland, Episode Five

So! Episode five starts a few moments after Lord Azlok vowed to turn America "to dust beneath our feet!" and flew into the sunset, cackling. During the struggle, poor Mr Grey got caught up in the scuffle and lies dying on the steel floor of Lab 51. You know I love this series to bits, but today I'm going to talk about something that does bother me a bit. Firstly, though, what happens in Episode five? Well, claiming that she can save her husband's life, with an artifact from her ship, Mrs Grey (I'm not even going to bother writing her real name in, like) asks to be lead to it. So, while she and the Doctor trek into the bowels of Area 51's vault together Cassie and Chief Running Sore (or whoever) are sent to recover the TARDIS from the roadside. However, Lord Azlok has requested reinforcements from the Viperox Queen and gets them!

As the sun sets over Nevada the deadly Viperox Hoards surface (in a stunningly exciting sequence worthy of praise here) and cause untold damage to nearby villages. The Viperox invasion has started, and it's up to the Doctor (stuck in a box) to escape the (somewhat shoehorned in) hungry Skorpius Flies and get Mrs Grey back to her husband. But will Cassie and Mr Shitting Bull succeed in escaping the Viperox and getting the TARDIS back to base? Tune in tomorrow folks, etc. And now, the catch. I've ignored this so far, it hasn't been too much of a bother to me - until now. During the chase in the vault, the Doctor and Mrs Grey escape to the wonderful tune of The UNIT Theme. WHY?! IT DOESN'T FIT!!! But that's all I can find fault with... Oh, and the fact that Tennant's thumb looks like a willy at the 5.10 - 5.25 mark. But that's funny!

This makes me sad to say:

CHECK BACK HERE TOMORROW FOR MY TAKE ON THE FINAL PART OF DREAMLAND. Im'a miss it, that fow daaaaamn SURE!
