Just finished the new Doctor Who about 10 minutes ago. It's the best episode this season by far, though we've had no really horrible episodes this season, for which I'm grateful. This new one, there were many things that I had guessed ahead of time, but there were a few twists that I didn't, and even some of the things that I saw coming still affected me emotionally - and some of the CRUEL TWISTS really dug in deep. There was a wonderful bit of continuity with "Planet of the Ood"!!! And I got all teary eyed in a couple of spots.

Rating the season thus far:

* = Daleks in Manhattan bad
** = muddled, but almost watchable
*** = average fun, nothing special
**** = better than most
***** = perfection

4x01 Partners in Crime ***
4x02 The Fires of Pompeii ****
4x03 Planet of the Ood ***
4x04 The Sontaran Stratagem (1) ***
4x05 The Poison Sky (2) ***
4x06 The Doctor's Daughter (3) ***
4x07 The Unicorn & the Wasp ****
4x08 Silence in the Library (1) ****
4x09 Forest of the Dead (2) *****

to compare to last year:

3x01 Smith and Jones **
3x02 The Shakespeare Code ****
3x03 Gridlock ***
3x04 Daleks in Manhattan (1) *
3x05 Evolution of the Daleks (2) *
3x06 The Lazarus Experiment ***
3x07 42 ***
3x08 Human Nature (1) ****
3x09 The Family of Blood (2) *****

I can't wait for Mollie to see these last 2 episodes! ;-0)
