Lots of plot holes and logical errors from RTD, too. How do the zombies know
how to walk/talk?

And why did some of their hairstyles look so contemporary, but ruffled?

Why didn't Cassandra just "breathe" herself into Rose from
her skin-self, if she's so bloody good at doing that? Oh yeah, because the
script had to shoehorn the "breath" idea. Why is a disinfectant somehow
*contagious*? Just what was the storytelling point of "cat people", anyway?
Oh yeah, they looked cool. Granted, but couldn't a feline angle have been
used as the solution to the problem in some way? This would also redeem the
"villains", too...

Yes, I know it's a kids show at heart, but...

Is it really though? Isn't it Sci-Fi for the family? Even if it was for kids, I think that's no reason to patronize them with substandard scripts and choreography. The Zombies were frightening for all the wrong reasons. Frightening to think anybody thought they could be frightening. Look out for the Zombie with the Busted hairstyle btw. And the one going bald who'd clearly just been for a short, back and sides prior to filming. They're all strangely preened given their neglect. There was a scale problem too wasn't there? The Zombies always seemed like such a tiny group of badly performing extras, despite the infinite appearance of their prison.
