Doctor Who: "The Empty Child"

Whoa. Now THAT is some fabulous script. Great, snappy dialogue, superb performances (especially by Eccleston), gorgeous filming, and on the whole I have to say this is definitely the most impressive episode of Who I've seen so far. Maybe all the night scenes helped, but this was the first ep I could easily see being blown up to full theatre size and still looking really, really good.

Except -- wah! -- I have to go to bed alone now. And I'm as likely as not to hear one of my sons cry "mummy!" in the middle of the night, at which point I will die of a heart attack and there will be no one to raise my children.

Ah, who am I kidding? My throat hurts so badly I won't be able to sleep anyway. :-P

I'm just as glad they cut the crunching bones part, myself. As soon as I realized what was going to happen to Constantine's face, I put my hands over my eyes and only took very quick squinty-peek looks at the screen until it was all over. Having to listen to gross sound effects would have made it even worse!
