I really enjoyed that.

Lovely speculation on the royal family - good introduction of the Torchwood institute - I thought it would be a single line mention like the Bad Wolf ones but no.

Needless to say, I'm not letting the kids watch that with Princess Anne around on a moonlit night...

Amazing. Sadly the music is now something I'm noticing too now that others have complained about it.

But Tennant is blossoming, the weaving of popular history and popular culture aren't spiralling out of control and the show seems to be building up the ante for a nice funky season long story arc.

This one proves that RTD has got the chops to pen episodes every bit as good as anyone else. Also, what a profoundly superior take on one of the 'classic monster myths' than anyting Hollywood has managed for a good few years.

There is a quality in my telly life I'd never have dreamed of two yeasr ago. Well done BBC.

Though the music at the start for the monks on wires fight was pretty good..

I managed to miss the entire run last year and only saw them via limewire. I've bought the box set since but like Lost, I don't mind downloading and buying later.

ohh i really liked that, Tennant is starting to make the role his own as well.

Is the bad wolf gonna make an appearance in the story again? I dont actually want to know mind

just thinking out loud.

I really think that the the way to a great cliffhanger to season two would be that in the last twenty seconds, the mastermind to the whole season (like the Daleks in season one) is the Master. Just a quick flash like in Earthshock ep 1 and then the credits.

Something to really frustrate the fans

Really, really enjoyed that! Bloody fantastic piece of Dr Who, probably the best little werewolf story I've seen since Dog Soldiers too! I hope the rest of the series is more like this, and less like last weeks.

Well, it was almost mentioned... there was info there to support the wolf entity being alien, and it did recognise billie piper as "you have seen the wolf, you know"- or words to that effect.... Bad wolf was already seen on the playground floor in last weeks ep, and I have a feeling "torchwood" is the word that will be seen all over the place this season. How ironic then the hall was called "Torchwood House"... there must have been influence BEFORE Victoria, and i'm wondering if Cap Jack found another time machine to aid his "starting to rebuild the earth" as a lead into the torchwood series.

Really great episode.
Better then last weeks and an order of magnitude better then the christmas special.

Also I am really fantastically pleased Bad Wolf is actually leading somewhere logical, rather then being two random words plucked out of the air as it seemed to be last season.

Now, the idea that she has a "touch of the wolf about her" seems to imply either;
a) She has a slight amount of warewolf blood in her. (possibly makeing her royalty).
or
b) Its a leftover from her expirence with the Tardis...which imples the Tardis ITSELF has some connection to the wolf enity(s).
