I assume he meant that he was forgiving all previous crimes because of the AWESOME of "Love & Monsters".

Just saw it this week, and oh my god, fabulous episode! i want to watch it again already. so funny and adorable and *sigh*

right now i am rewatching "the empty child". less funny. :)

Less funny, but just as awesome. The conclusion is a great second hour.

The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, there, now there was one hell of an awesome two-parter (won a Hugo and everything!)

The feelings towards that particular episode, I've found, are extremely polarized. You either really loved it or you really hated it. I fall under the second category, even though I adore Shirley Henderson. We all have our reasons, I know, and I don't think less of anybody who loved it.

However, I just watched Gridlock and if this is the way Tennant's second series is heading under Mr. Davies' guidance, all the dislike I had for the things I seriously disliked about the previous series are slowly being erased. If that makes a lick o' sense. My opinion doesn't change, but the teeth no longer are set on edge when the episode is mentioned.

Oh, don't bring me down.

Yeah, I remember the dwin commentary on it. People got upset about it for some reason.

I thought "Love and Monsters" was one of the best episodes of the new series until the last quarter, which was embarrassing crap. If it had just been a bad episode (such as, say, "Fear Her"), it wouldn't have been nearly as dismaying; but it was a good episode that went horribly wrong.
