The latest Who made me happy for the second time in a row, hitting all the right notes. Not only was the script intelligent, irreverent, and snappy, I didn't have to sit through any groaningly silly pseudoscience. Plus, we got a quick shout-out to a First Doctor story - now there's research!
And Donna's honestly winning me over: anyone who can give her captors a tongue-lashing while tied to a sacrificial altar is worthy company for the Doctor. And she once again shows him, in the climactic scenes, exactly why he's taken her aboard. I wanted to cheer for both of them.
Next week we get the return of the evil (misunderstood?) Ood from Series 2. I can't honestly say I'm thrilled... but then, I couldn't say I was eager to see the Ferengi on their second appearance, so I'll give the writers a chance. Perhaps I'll get three for three.
