Christmas Invasion- not enough Doctor but second half is awesome
New Earth - Kind of silly
Tooth and Claw - great action based story
School Reunion - possibly best ep of the season. Excellent stuff
The girl in the fireplace - Rather mediocre until the very final scene, then it all makes sense.
Rise of the Cybermen - It has Cybermen, it's good
The age of steel - the Cybermen goodness continues
The Idiots Lantern - very ho hum episode, far from the best
The Impossible Planet - Great stuff, some outstanding Who.
The Satan Pit - Even better than the previous ep
Love and Monsters - complete crap. Avoid like leperous jehovah's witnesses
Fear Her - Better than Love and Monsters but not by much. Avoid.
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday - Awesome season finale. Two lots of villains face off!
To give my own views on those eps
Christmas Invasion - Good story, well acted, and you get to see a bit more of the tardis and sets up season arc
New earth - ok ep, not terrible but not amazing. high lights would be the face of boe appearing to set somthing up for next season (presumably next season, might be the aseaon after that)
Tooth and claw - amazing ep, best pre credit teaser iv seen in ages. and advances plot
School reunion Excellent episode for fans of the classic series but done so well that its amazing for new fans as well.
The girl in the fireplace - Best episode of the seaon. Writen by the same writer that did the gasmask episode. Excellent emotinal and character development.
Rise of the Cybermen - Title says it all really.
The age of steel - Second part of cyberment story so again had to be good.
The Idiots Lantern - worst episode of season, i was bored from the pre-credits till the end.
The Impossible Planet - Great ep
The Satan Pit -second part of a two parter, loved the concept behind it.
Love and Monsters - This episode is a lot like marmite, you either love it or you hate it. I loved it. It was a fun episode done in a daring style not previously used in show. and i think it works.
Fear Her - meh. sums it up really, wouldnt bear a repeat viewing but it had a couple of goo moments
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday - superb season finale culminating the plot threads from the season and pitting two villians against each other.
Like everyone else these are just my opinons, you may have completly diffferent tastes to me.
If at first you dont succeed.... destroy all evidence you ever tried
