All these years later and this is still one of my favourite episodes. Say what you will about Moffatt but he can churn out a great episode when he’s on it. Eccleston was also an impeccable Doctor, might be my favourite.
Moffatt was great for short burts. Often the best episode of the season, or a great little mini-arc across 2-3 episodes. His problems always manifest when he is writing whole seasons. He quickly goes off the rails and backs himself into stupid corners trying to one-up the episode before.
I agree that having Moffat come in and so the best episode/multi episode of the season was optimal. Even then, I’m not sure the other showrunners they had was all that great either. I’m not the world’s biggest RTD fan.
That was the first episode of Doctor Who I iver watched, and nothing has really been able to achieve that high. Don’t Blink is probably my second choice.
