How season 3 is measuring up so far

The answer to that is: not bad, not bad. I can't really say that any episode (no, not even the last one!) has truly blown me away, though parts of some of them have. Counting the opener as one, we've had four stories so far, and in order I've given them 8, 7, 6 and 7 marks out of 10. Of course, these numbers may change -- as happened with Bridle Gossip, which I didn't actually like much the first time round, but now really enjoy. We shall have to see!
