Doctor Who -- Tooth and Nail

Yay! I liked this one. I hadn't expected to -- Queen Victoria and a Werewolf sound like a cliched recipe for disaster, but I thought it was good. I didn't love Tenant as much as Eccleston, but he seemed normally natural and occasionally glorious this time. It was sometimes funny, and mostly -- amazingly, excluding a few flat jokes -- felt real.

Next time: Woo! GILES!

Also, what's with Opus Dei? This is before the sect, whether you think they're a sinister cabal or not, isn't it? I admit it's cool but why does every pseudochristian masonic assassin organisation pick on Opus Dei as a defining characteristic?

ETD: ETA: I'm not so sure about either series idea of story arcs though. Is this tied in to Bad Wolf? Either way, while I applaud trying to make a story arc, I fear all their efforts feel forced.
