I cannot — will not — do any spoilers for “Family of Blood,” but, set up by the first part (“Human Nature”), it’s the best Doctor Who episode evah (or at least to-date). Dramatic, humorous, creepy, gut-wrenching, tear-jerking, unearthly, bloody, thrilling, utterly kick-ass.
I’ve entertained doubts about David Tennant as the Doctor — fun fellow, but not bringing nearly the drama that Christopher Eccleston did — but this episode cleared them all up. Bravo.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. Terrific stuff.
Now, wait ’till you see Blink…
I loved the whole Family of Blood two-parter. Wowie. Just… wow.
And then this past weekend, before Torchwood, I watched the repeat of the season two opener, when Tennant was first introduced. Gotta say, one of my favorite Doctor Who lines ever just may be, “This is a FIGHTIN’ hand!”
Still need to watch Torchwood … it’s been a busy several evenings.
The first half of the two-parter was good, solid, interesting — Martha’s role, the Doctor’s changes, the interesting threat.
The second half, though, just blew me away. I could chat with someone about it for hours. 🙂
Ummm…
Christopher Eccleston.
Ugh. Been a bad week for me and star names.
