[Jez]

Brilliant episode, really brought a tear to my eye.

I'll vote after watching it, I haven't read anything which has spoilt it, but I can see it's a sad one.

EDIT: Well, I've taken on board what Danny has said about voting, and I'll be saving the best for the truely exeptional...but this one was brilliant, this one was SO moving, it was really well written and very emotional...I had to give it at least a fantastic. If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.

Wow -- Jez made the poll for me! And he did it exactly correct! I'm amazed! Jez, if you like, you can take over on this from now on (if you happen to get here before I have a chance to make the poll). Thank you!

And also, very very enjoyable episode. I gave it an 8 out of 10.

[Ben Dawson]

oh no, before you voted it was going 100% for fantastic.

[Danny Stewart]

Deal with it. I enjoyed it, and that's what's important.

[Ben Dawson]

oh no no no no noooooo...now it's down to 50%

I only gave this one a 7, it was a good episode but seemed to change direction a lot, one minute it was the Cyberwoman as an enemy, then they escaped, then went back in, yet somehow she had used conversion equipment to put her brain into another body? It seemed like a very convoluted plotline.

And Ianto annoys me in general, so a Ianto-specific episode is always going to be at a disadvantage for me.

And one final nag, the "high heels" that the Cyberwoman had instead of the normal clunky CyberFeet were a joke.

[Ben Dawson]

that was a downside.

Haha, it's no problem. I noticed that you hadn't been online to do it and figured that there'd be people urging to post an opinion of it and as such, decided to do it for you.

I thought, for a moment after I got home today, that it was Wednesday today because RT was open on Wednesday. Then I realised that it wasn't and I felt sad because I have to wait another day to see this episode. And that pretty much sums up an ~nth of my day.

I'll post once I've seen it, obviously.

That sounds great, Jez. I appreciate it. You got all the little picky intricacies about the poll that I do, which is normally why I don't let other people do it (they don't get all that). Whichever of the two of us gets to the forums first after an airing now is welcome to start the poll!

All I forgot to do was the itallics for "Fantastic".

Ok, I've now seen it and I'm torn between 9 and 8 out of ten. If I give it a 9, it means I've given all of the episodes a 9. The fact is that in comparison with episode 2 and 3, this episode owns (so 2 and 3 should be reduced to 8s). There was great action and also a good sense of atmospheric fear too. Ok, I’ve decided to stick a 9 down on this one. Best of the bunch so far!

Silly Jez -- it automatically italicizes your choice after you vote.

Great! Glad you enjoyed it.

LOL - I forgot to vote after I posted my review.

[Danny Stewart]

Good job.
