In particular, I think that the two episodes out of the four that have been written by RTD have been the best that he's yet done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-4540637060361508792007-04-26T13:13:00.000-06:002007-04-26T13:13:00.000-06:00Agreed about season 2 in general and "Girl in the ...Agreed about season 2 in general and "Girl in the Fireplace" in particular. <BR/><BR/>To break it down a little more, IMHO, season 3 so far (counting the Christmas special) has had two slightly silly but very entertaining episodes; one ep that, while it had some great moments, was overall pretty stupid, story-wise; one <I>very</I> cool episode that I liked when I first saw it and like better the more I think about it; and one boring and dumb one that also contains a few specific elements that rub me the wrong way. Opinions seem to vary hugely, though, to the point where I'd be mildly surprised if anyone who'd seen them could guess which reaction went with which episode.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if you ask me, even sub-par <I>Doctor Who</I> is better than no <I>Doctor Who</I>, so uneven or not, I'm definitely enjoying it.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403255764384760662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-15585414322664528252007-04-26T13:02:00.000-06:002007-04-26T13:02:00.000-06:00That's something of a UK tradition, doing (sometim...That's something of a UK tradition, doing (sometimes extended) Christmas episodes. My opinion of the second season was that same sort of mixed -- "Girl in the Fireplace" is some of the best television I've seen, but the rest varies wildly -- but I'm looking forward to Season 3.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00277636954260900156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-10291371075839616772007-04-26T06:14:00.000-06:002007-04-26T06:14:00.000-06:00There is a Christmas episode, yep.

It's not nearly as Christmassy as last year's, though, despite being set around Christmastime. No killer Christmas trees in this one. :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, haven't you ever heard of Christmas in July? :)Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403255764384760662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-18823149039854884392007-04-26T01:38:00.000-06:002007-04-26T01:38:00.000-06:00I think I read somewhere that one of these episode...I think I read somewhere that one of these episodes has a Christmas theme.
