Continuing on with the third entry in my list of my 10 favorite Tenth Doctor episodes (going in broadcast order), it's "Girl in the Fireplace"!
While "School Reunion" gets the credit for getting me into New Who (strictly speaking, it was the first New Who episode I saw that I actually enjoyed watching), it was "Girl in the Fireplace" that turned me into an obsessed fan. While the episode has a lot of my favorite Classic Who strengths (mix of history and sci-fi, humor and adventure and a strong "what the hell is going on?" plot), it also did things that would never, ever have happened in Classic Who, and did them so well, I was completely sold. Finally, the episode turned me into a huge Tenth Doctor fan, although it still took me awhile to figure out that the Tenth Doctor wasn't the Doctor I'd seen back in "Rose."
My favorite parts:
( Girl in the Fireplace (spoilers) )
