vilakins | Doctor Who: Gridlock

And for once I'm not the last one on my flist to see it. That? Was an excellent and joy-making ep.

Speaking of flists, I loved the motorway people having friends lists. Since I can't think of anything I didn't like, here's all the stuff I did:

Cats! And an adorable Irish one played by Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal in Father Ted).
Kittens! I wonder when they become sentient, but they were only two months old.
The motorway people, a wonderfully eccentric lot undefeated by their lives, esp the two old ladies and their book.
Martha being stroppy and brave and intelligent and making the Doctor talk to her at the end.
The Doctor telling her about Gallifrey (but not--yet--that he was the cause).
Novice Hame redeeming herself by tending the Face of Boe and saving the undercity. Oh and having the gun for pirates.
The plot not being about the callous disregard of the undercity's people, but the saving of them.
It wasn't on Earth (well, the old one)!

I think this is the best of this season so far. I hope they keep the quality up--and Don't Mention the Rose.
