Doctor Who - Satan's Pit

To my joy the cliff hanger wasn't resolved in a second by the Doctor taking a crystal out of his pocket or saying "Back to your rooms!". Instead things got worse. They ran away, they were chased, someone died. That's the way to do two parters.

I really loved this episode. On one hand you had action in ventilation shafts, all Aliens stylee, and on the other hand you had the Doctor falling silently into a big dark pit, both physically and with regards to his belief. The moments of introspection from the Doctor were great, hanging in the dark trying to search for purpose. It shed new light on the character. Brilliant.

And then to top it all the best monster ever, Satan. The CGI was great, a big, roaring, beast.

Escape by TARDIS always seemed obvious at the end of the episode. but I'll forgive it, because the rest was so cool.

And there was some foreshadowing too, looks like Rose is going to die this series (in a battle no less).

Monster pictures and other stuff onliine at the BBC Doctor Who site. By the way, the fear factor kids gave last weeks episode a 6, and the scale only goes up to 5! This week they give it a 5.
