dolariLast Night's Dr Who was "Father's Day."
I remember when I first saw this, it was the first of the New Who episodes I really felt I'd connected with, and I thought "Okay, this new show's gonna be alright."
On the re-watch the episode is actually incredibly powerful, and I might even put it above The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances as Eccleston's best. But really, it's not Eccleston that makes the show. It's the dynamic between Pete and Rose Tyler than sells it. And while Jackie is pretty unlikeable for most of the episode, when she comes around to Rose, it really does feel like an earned heartfelt moment.
A really REALLY good episode.
