Best nu-Who episode ever.
Probably.
Spoilers lurking ahead under the surface.

So this week has been ratings stunt week over in the US, thanks to it being sweeps time, and CSI, CSI:Miami and CSI: NY have pulled off the biggest sweeps stunt of all the shows: they’ve had a crossover story involving all three shows. Laurence Fishburne went first to Miami, then to New York before returning to Vegas on the trail of missing women.
This wasn’t, of course, the first time there’s been a CSI crossover. CSI: Miami was launched in a second season episode of CSI; CSI: NY was launched in an episode of CSI: Miami. There’s also been a CSI:Miami/CSI:NY crossover stunt and a CSI/Without A Trace crossover.
So after the jump, my thoughts on how this compared with previous crossovers, whether this was merely a stunt or whether there was a decent story, and which show had the most merit. Spoilers ahoy.
In the US: Sunday 8th November, AMC
In the UK: BBC4 still haven’t bought it…
That’s it. It’s over again for another year. Damn those AMC people. But 1963 and season three of Mad Men have ended, and we’re going out on a high.
In the US: Monday 9th November 2009, 8pm, NBC
In the UK: March 2010, BBC2
Bit of a mixed bag this episode, with unexpected moments and twists aplenty, but with a few hints of dullness here and there, most of them being Peter and Emma.
In the US: Fridays, 10/9c, USA Network
Three episodes into White Collar and I haven’t changed my mind much about the show since I previewed the first episode. In fact, it’s gone slightly down in my estimation, not by being worse per se, but by becoming blander.
