Episode 10, Blink, was in fine tradition a pretty solid, entertaining departure from the norm Doctor Who episode as the Doctor served more as a background character in this one. The plot deals with a young woman, Sally Sparrow, who keeps receiving cryptic messages from the Doctor, on her TV set (or multiple TV sets) about time, about other things and mostly about blinking, i.e. don't do it! A set of weird eerie statues are the main enemies as they are after the TARDIS and they will kill any one who will either blink or turn away from them. Through some recorded video messages the Doctor gives Sally what she needs in order to try and save the TARDIS from their stoney clutches.

This story was kind of fun, the "departure from the norm" stories usually are quite entertaining and this one certainly echoed last year's highly enjoyable Love and Monsters in that sense, with the Doctor serving as a background character. The young cast were fine and although he provides a background role in this one, David Tennant still reminds us he is still the Doctor.

So next week's Utopia sounds very intruiging as we finally see the return of Captain Jack Harkness, its been a while, and hopefully it will be better than Torchwood.
