Doctor Who
33x02 Dinosaurs on a Spaceship

Living up to their blockbustery aims here, I think, with an episode that's technically just as confined to a single facility as last week's but somehow feels grander.

There's an argument to be made it was the perfect evocation of Who: exciting, funny, emotional, subversive, with a clever continuity, and, most of all, utterly barmy. People have picked faults, but most of them are bad natured -- this is about having fun, and it achieves that massively with no serious problems. (Seriously, you're whinging the Triceratops was too slow? Go watch something else, you've missed the point!)

I imagine I'm in the minority, but while I did like Asylum of the Daleks, I properly enjoyed Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Fun wins.
