   I'd love to have that end up being the case.  It still wouldn't quite   
   raise this episode to a "10" for me, but it would at least answer the   
   niggling feeling I have that the season arc may have gotten just a   
   little bit away from him.   
      
   Either way, I do think Series Six was a good season overall.  A bit   
   uneven, but that's par for the course for "Who" - great stories have   
   always sat side-by-side with weak ones.  It was certainly an ambitious   
   year.  All told, I liked Series Five better.  But I appreciate the   
   ambition of Series Six, and I think it succeeded a lot more than not.
