A better day?

kribuHmm. This day has so far started off better than the last one ended.
My dear new external hard drive, which first refused to power down yesterday and then decided to ignore everyone completely (i.e. choosing to play hide and seek with the computer, not showing up anywhere at all), seems to have taken the time over the night, while plugged out, to reconsider things, and after being plugged in again, it's back, with all data intact. Yay.
And then, the latest Doctor Who episode wasn't that bad at all.
It was really a rather straightforward, somewhat clichéd space disaster story, wasn't it? But I did rather enjoy it... for what it was, it was quite well done. The Doctor didn't grate on my nerves, Martha was useful (and her mother's a bit of a bitch, yes?), in classic Who style there was again a pretty boy for the female companion to flirt with and then leave behind, most people died horrid deaths while a handful were saved, the Doctor got to curse human stupidity and greed, the Doctor got to hang out in a spacesuit...
Okay, so the science of it all was a bit... hmm. Just right for DW, I think.
The whole story definitely had a classic Who feel to it, in any case.
Random side question... would it always be a crime to murder one's neighbours? Especially when they are lovers of music?
It's not helping my headache, really, even if it is a little better today than it was last night...
