shapinglightBeen LJ silent for a while. Think I ran out of words temporarily.
Anyway, back now, and last night I finally got around to watching the latest DW episode, Amy's Choice.
Spoilers behind cut.
Don't know about anyone else, but I thought that was a great little episode - definitely the best yet of the new series. Everything (or almost everything) seemed to work well somehow, and it managed to be scary (or as scary as DW ever is), poignant, creepy and exciting all at once. I dunno. It was just..neat. Neatly written, well-plotted etc etc. Had an old-fashioned, writerly feel. Oh, and the bloke playing the Dream Lord was very good indeed.
What did everyone else think?

The Dream Lord was a terrific idea. I was sure it would turn out to be one of the really old DW villains, like the Celestial Toymaker from Patrick Troughton days, and that would have been really cool. But this worked just as well. In fact, probably better.
