Personally, I'm one of the very few people who liked this one - sure, it's no Genesis of the Daleks or Blink and the alien could have been a little better but I consider it to be quite an interesting episode.
So, the Abzorbaloff gets a lot of hate but what you've got to remember is that it was designed by a nine year old, and I think for his age, he did a pretty good job with it although I do think the Hoix made a better monster.
Anyway, so now on to why I like it: I think Elton along with quite a few other characters are well acted, it's very interesting to see what people who know about The Doctor and want to find out more get up to and we get to see some of what Jackie does in her every day life while Rose isn't around.
I think the Abzorbaloff should have done something better than absorb people but what everyone really seems to hate about Love & Monsters is the, umm... love life joke at the end and I have to agree with everyone else on this bit - it should never have happened but I'm not going to let it ruin the entire episode for me.
Overall, I consider it to be a fairly interesting episode and I would
love to see LINDA again in a better episode but there are some things
that really let it down. It's certainly not perfect but I don't think
it's half as most people seem to think.
As for whether I recommend it or not, I don't really know...
6/10
