A belated note of appreciation for Una's eloquent, articulate, and loving comments on "Death-Watch":

Ah, must spring to the defence of one of my favourites. The reason that I think it's a great ensemble piece is that it uses all the characters *in

character*

to drive the plot along.

Yes. <sigh> And not only does it use all the characters in character, but the character dynamics are insightful and deftly handled.

While the dramatic impact of "Blake" makes it my favorite episode, DW is the better written script; it's Boucher at his best.
