Probably, no definately, my least favourite of all the season openers. New Earth screams of filler so I've no idea why they opened with it. S2 though on the whole I find pretty weak

Filler? In what respect?

I thought the storyline was pretty strong - loved the way they used Cassandra 8)The comedic value in this episode nicely balanced the actual atrocity that was going on behind the squeeky clean surface/scenes.

The lift scene cracks me up every time :D

This was the first episode of Who I've ever watched, so I guess it must have been pretty good to make me come back and keep watching!

I love the lift scenes, first time I watched them it had me in stitches, and I have to admit that little Chip is pretty cute :)

Yeah agreed looking back on the series it wasn't the best opener, but hey, it introduced me to the world of Doctor Who, so I can't be too critical. :)

Utter tosh.
Rotten episode from a mostly rotten (sadly) series.
I can't bring myself to rewatch this one, I always skip to the next episode (more in that thread....)

I went with a three. I don't love the episode, but there are some quite funny moments and the ending is quite touching. I don't rush to watch it often, but I don't recoil if it comes on either

Another three from me for this one. It was humourous at times but for a series opener it was pretty weak

I gave this one a three. I don't dislike it as such, I just don't like it enough to rate it higher

Having just rewatched this one, I think the main problem with it was it was trying to deal with too many plots without tying them together well enough.  I liked the idea of the Sisters and their experiments, but Cassandra's never been one of my favourite characters, and I really didn't buy her sudden conversion at the end.  And the Face of Boe was just a big red herring.  I gave it a 3.

A 4 from me. I always enjoy RTD's 'light-and-fluffy' episodes. There's nothing hugely substantial or even particularly memorable about this one, but it's one that I always end up really enjoying every time I rewatch it. Not a classic, but fun.

I gave it a four. A bit generous, but the ending with Chip and a younger Cassandra did it for me. Let's just not question the science here. At all.
