That was really good. I loved their take on Shakespeare- womanizing, immune to the psychic paper, deductive genius- I found myself wishing that they'd have kept him on for a couple more episodes as a companion by the end of the show. Thought the line about Sycorax was really good, too- considering the Doctor's history with the Sycorax.
I'm really wondering what the heck that thing was with the queen at the end- if he pissed off Queen Elizabeth that much, I wonder why Queen Victoria wasn't more suspicious of him in Tooth and Claw (maybe she didn't put two and two together until after his foray there; it would actually lend a bit more strength to her creation of Torchwood). Hopefully this story is going to get followed up on this season, and we can see Will again. I was really impressed with the actor's performance (Dean Lennox Kelly).
Martha is shaping up quite nicely- and it really doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous. Yes, I'm a pig. Oink!
Like sniffles says, it was nice to see the Globe theatre. I've absolutely got to get back there one of these days- this time when they're in season and take in a show.
Next week- looks like Doctor Who as done by Luc Besson. Wasn't expecting the Face of Boe again so soon- I hope this means we're going to hear his final four words. (Speaking of words- did anyone catch any Mr. Saxons this time around? I don't recall hearing or seeing anything, but given the era, it probably wouldn't be too out of place to hear someone refer to Saxons.)
One other thing I found really interesting- the Carrionites didn't have a real name for the Doctor. There's been speculation on what (or if) the Doctor's real name is, and this sort of confirms that he doesn't have one. Or not, I suppose- given his knowledge of the power of words/names/truenames he may have taken precautions against their usage at some point in the past. Interesting, anyway.
Best of all- no sonic screwdriver in this episode anywhere! I love that thing, but man- do the writers on this show use it as a crutch. Hm... wonder what would come out on top, the sonic screwdriver or Batman's utility belt?
