I actually really enjoyed it... but I've come to realise that my yardstick for enjoyment is pretty much "did it keep me happily entertained/involved for an hour?" (I really am shit at being a media fan - can't be doing with that whole moral outrage, capslock of frothing doom thing, and if I don't like something, I just don't watch it ;)) This was pretty much typical DW - silly in some places, scary in others (I wonder how many Sunday night kiddie bathtimes got cancelled last night?), with added Doctor On The Edge Of A Nervous Breakdown. I really liked that sequence - he's slipping over the edge into vengeful godhood, and then Adelaide delivers the slap he needs. For a moment there, I thought she might shoot him, as well... but the choice she makes - the choice he wouldn't - is actually far more effective. He's veering between extremes, losing any sense of perspective, and it'll be fascinating to see how it all ends up.

For my money, this and the Easter episode have been the strongest of the specials so far... or at least the most enjoyable! :)
