He has an instinctive grasp of just exactly what will scare the go-se out of a body, don't he? Let's just hope he and Tim Minear never have occasion to join forces. People will be stapling their eyes open a la 'Clockwork Orange' and twitching in very brightly lit corners.

For me, the best part had to be (spoiler)

On a different note, last saturdays episode 'Midnight'....

An unusual episode i thought, quite claustrophobic and definately scary. It reminded me a bit of something i saw once about witch trials, where the mob become so convinced that they saw something evil or supernatural even though they didn't and the hysteria lead them to do attrocious things (such as throwing people out the air lock). If anything i think that the human characters, particularly the married couple, came off as being more evil than whatever it was that was possessing Sky. After all if it wasn't for their fear and stupidity the situation could have been controlled.

Any thoughts?
Oh, by the way the episode title for the penultimate episode of this series, which previous been kept secret because it 'gives to much away', has been revealed.

There were so many cool moments. I loved it when Donna first set her eyes on Cap'n Jack. That was great. I can still see and hear Gwen firing that machine gun at the Dalek.. O.O Intense.. Talking 'bout Daleks.. That insane, giggly Dalek was wonderful. The Paul O Grady clip and Ianto's reaction was great too. Billie Piper and that HUGE gun was so cool. There were just lots of fun moments - like Harriet Jones. . It was good to see them tie in Sarah Jane, Torchwood and UNIT. And, the scenes featuring Dalek ships flying across the sky? Epic!

The TARDIS spinning towards the repositioned earth, with the radio signal pulsating out into space was pretty dodgey though. Maybe they were trying to make it look like an ol school effect, but it looked horrible given the quality of the other sfx.

The TARDIS moving the Earth was the worst bit. Way over the top, even beyond that vehicles capabilities and the FX looked ropey as well.

I think it has been well established that the TARDIS has near-omnipotent powers, and that part of the Time Lords' - and especially the Doctor's - ethos is choosing not to wield that power (the Lord of the Rings strikes again!)

As for the SFX - I agree it was disappointing. Those morons at The Mill have clearly never seen a 1950s police telephone box towing a planet using a space-time rift as a tow-rope before in their lives .
