New Who Review for "Human Nature"

This is where the season, for me, kicked into high gear. This episode just rocked for me on so many levels. I am so sorry that the conclusion is not going to be shown until I believe September 7th. It was kind of a sucky time to break the series.

Human Nature is based on the book by Paul Cornell which I read when it came out from Virgin Books. I thought it was one of the best Doctor Who Novels in the Virgin run of the series and it is one of my favorites of all the Doctor Who novels. This episode takes the book to the next level and what is nice it that Paul Cornell got to write this and the next episode.

Here we get to see David Tennant stretch his acting muscles as does Freema Agyeman. This is a very different episode of Doctor Who than we have seen up to this point. More of a character study with a menace lurking in the dark to up the stakes to a rather fever pitch before the episode ends. Of course spoilers behind the cut but I really ask to not discuss "Family of Blood" in the comments (Yeah I know it is hard to do).

I am grateful that I can finally talk about this episode.

( Wow! )
