The cuteness was summed up towards the end with Donna asking if the Doctor was going to blow up the ship, the reason the adipose was cute was because it wasn't a monster it was just the creation of an evil being, they couldn't help how they were conceived, thus that level of being adorable was needed to give them a sense of purpose, the adipose were not the enemy Miss Foster was the enemy.
Overall a good episode, i wasn't a huge fan of past seasons but this one has started well, the inclusion of Rose didn't really hit the mark with me as they were hopefully intending, it just wasn't a big shock. Media to blame for that? Maybe but it was a given that Rose was in the show so the first episode wasn't an impossibility.
Catherine Tate played Donna with a great sense of humour and the mime scene was just genius, i would have never though of that not in a million years, once they met the episode did lag a little bit but just because i'm not a huge fan of the Doctor running away i prefer as he showed later on, that he is a risk taker, putting both ends of the sonic screwdriver together without realising the consequences, i like that.
The episode was good, hopefully it will continue but "The Fires of Pompeii" as glimpsed at for next week looks a bit, well it probably won't be my cup of tea, i have no passion for that side of the earths history i mean ancient Rome and the fall of Pompeii are just not interesting to me, so it will take a lot to get me enjoying that episode.
