I loved the moments, but I have to say... the story was a little weak for me.

Perfect icon.
Interesting repetition of themes and phrases too. References back to Stephen Moffat's own work though, rather than some of the other stories - the banana gag, the dancing, the whole "I'm not your mother" stuff. And oddly enough, no Torchwood reference.
On the whole, and thinking more about it, there were a number of very good moments, but due to the whole plot device/constraints, that was all they could be - moments.

AH! My Eyes!
I'll comment back after I've nabbed and watched it. (usually takes a few hours for it to pop up).

I have one thing to say.
That thing is "Meh."
It was an okay episode. Overall, I didn't love it or hate it; it just kind of sits there in my mind. I did like the "Arthur" thing and the Mind Meld/ensuing conversation was neat, but there was just something off about the clockwork robots.
Though, I did like that parting shot with the ship. I guess we know why they want her brain...

Oh, DOCTOR!
I felt so sorry for him when he's so happy to take her along, to show her everything, and then he arrives with such boyish enthusiasm, and he's too late!

I'm sorry - I'm slightly baffled here. Do you mean in the title sequence? Given that Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who anyway, some letters are always going to be similiar.
Will still watch carefully next time, just in case.

Yep, the title sequence. I know Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who. I was a bit tired when i watched it, that's why I’m asking. It might not be every episode (just the Girl in the Fireplace) & like I said, I could be wrong. Lol I most likely am.
I've already read spoilers that say its pretty f'ing heartbreaking for Rose/Ten shippers, though. *sniffles* Must. Get. Torrent.
