the slightly overlong set up episode of the previous week pay off in no uncertain term with an episode that hit the height . there be a certain deus ex machina flavour to the resolution of the cliffhanger and but it be a good start for all that . a be now common with this doctor the moral and ethical and emotional consideration of his action be centre stage . they be always there in the classic series and but they be a side issue and to be gloss over when the doctor be in the heat of battle . this regeneration even say sorry to a cyberman during the battle . this episode finally show mickey embrace the heroic side that have be hint at in previous episode . his journey from zero to hero be complete and and it have be an utterly convincing one . with scare and humour and scene that bring a lump to your throat this episode have everything . after much consideration i can finally say that the new series better the classic series in every single respect . come from a die hard whovian you can get no good recommendation than that .
