S5 E2 - The Beast Below
This episode has cemented my faith in SM and MS.
I think it's a tale that RTD would envy at and the sort of thing we were missing for five years of New!Who.
Some of 11's mannerisms have remained very 10 and DT, there were moments that you should have just popped DT in and you wouldn't have noticed one iota of difference.
Also, this episode reminded me of how clever SM scripts can be, he gently weaves his stories together before coming up trumps with what is going on.
I loved how the Queen deceived herself and thus deceived her people with her, but it was Amy that worked out what was going on based on her experience with the Doctor.
Overall, the powerful and brilliant story that brought tears to my eyes for a good reason. Well done, Matt and Karen and top trumps to Steven Moffat.
