Jacked off and showered. Got a call from Corey saying he'd seen the first episode of the new Season of Who and that he loved it and is jealous that I've already seen the next 2 installments. I looked at my list of Who (Season 31) and it got me wondering how I'd rate each installment:

***** = Perfection
**** = Fantastic
*** = Average
** = Below Average
* = I hateed it

Green = The Sarah Jane Adventures
Black = Doctor Who
Red = Torchwood

Season 31:
Day of the Clown 1 ***
Day of the Clown 2 ***
Secrets of the Stars 1 ***
Secrets of the Stars 2 ***
The Next Doctor ***
Mark of the Berserker 1 ***
Mark of the Berserker 2 ***
Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 1 ***
Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 2 ***
Music of the Spheres ***
Enemy of the Bane 1 ***
Enemy of the Bane 2 ***
Dreamland ***
Prisoner of the Judoon 1 ***
Prisoner of the Judoon 2 ***
Planet of the Dead ***
The Mad Woman in the Attic 1 ****
The Mad Woman in the Attic 2 ****
Children of Earth 1 ****
Children of Earth 2 ***
Children of Earth 3 ****
Children of Earth 4 *****
Children of Earth 5 *****
Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 1 ****
Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 2 ****
The Waters of Mars *****
Eternity Trap 1 ***
Eternity Trap 2 ***
End of Time 1 ****
End of Time 2 ****
The Eleventh Hour [3] ****
From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love **
The Beast Below ***
Mona Lisa's Revenge 1 ***
Mona Lisa's Revenge 2 ***
Victory of the Daleks **
The Gift 1 *
The Gift 2 *

The only episodes to rate 5 stars for me were 2 of the Torchwood installments (which collectively would get an excellent from me) and 'The Waters of Mars' - which were part of a 10 episode run of nearly perfect episodes. Definitely not going well here at the end, but there are still at least 22 episodes to go from here; the next 2 episodes in particular look fantastic. I'd have rated 'Victory of the Daleks' lower except that it had the decency to limit itself to 1 installment, unlike the last Dalek story to rate this low ("Daleks in Manhattan" / "Evolution of the Daleks") which made me wait 3 weeks to be done with it...ick.

It's also interesting to note that while The Doctor doesn't seem to have as many adventures as you'd expect that he also appears in 'Secrets of the Stars 1', 'The Mad Woman in the Attic 2', & 'The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 1-2'. He's also mentioned or alluded to (or events from his show are) in 'Mark of the Berserker 1', 'Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 1 & 2', 'Prisoner of the Judoon 2', 'Children of Earth 3 & 5', 'The Eternity Trap 1', & 'Mona Lisa's Revenge 1'.
