Ooh!!! Evil creepy scarecrows! Excellent, and quite appropriate as we enter the harvest season here in the States.
This ep just had all sorts of coolness to it. I loved the message The Doctor left for Martha, how he trusted her to keep both him and herself safe. I loved the "Don't let me abandon you," recognizing that he was not going to be in his "right mind" so to speak, and he was depending on her to keep things under control and make them right in the end.
And she had to trust him enough to trust his judgement that she was up to the task. Which she was.
I loved Mr. Smith's "almost remembering" with the dreams and the diary, and yes, even the sonic screwdriver. And his relationship with Timothy.
Right now--and keep in mind that I've not seen the 2nd half or read the book--I'm waivering between whether part of The Doctor is actually inside Timothy (since he opened the watch), or if Timothy's extra "sensitivity" simply allows him to hear and understand The Doctor that's in the watch.
