The Shakespeare Code

The Shakespeare Code is where the awkwardness of the Doctor and Martha's relationship begins in earnest which is a shame because it is otherwise a fun episode with lots to like about it.

In short, this is a fun episode with lots to like. Taken together with The Unquiet Dead and Tooth and Claw it's making me re-evaluate my previous impression that NuWho seasons tended to mark time a bit in the first few weeks, waiting for the arc plot to really get going. Instead we have some really nice episodes that benefit from not being too weighed down by portentious foreshadowing.
