I had my doubts about the series, what with those substandard pilot episodes. But, if they can keep churning out impressive episodes like this one, I'm in for the long haul. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Obviously Russel T. Davies and the rest of the writing team got the message, and realized that being mature doesn't just mean having a bunch of sex scenes and naughty words strung together for an hour. I think Mark Hope hit it right on the head in his post, the human fallibility of the characters and their tendency to go astray as to what's right makes for a more adult sensibility. And the stakes are even greater when you realize such flawed peopIe have advanced alien tech in their hands. If the series writers can keep this philosophy intact for future episodes, then they've got a winner in their hands. And I must say, the cast finally came into their own here. John Barrowman continues to impress, his Jack Harkness is ever the man in control. But kudos to Burn Gorman, who gives Owen some much needed dimension here. All they need now is a story that focuses on Toshiko Sato and it's all good. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Oh, and I must say Eves Myles is just fine. And when I say fine I mean hot. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> Anyway, I'm looking forward to the Cyberwoman episode next week. I'm curious to see how the show handles one the Doc's classic villains.</blockquote>
