For Amy Pond's first trip on the Tardis, the Doctor takes her to visit the starship UK, which turns out to be driven by compassion.
Yes, that's right: a star whale did it for the kids.
Overall the episode was solid. Both Gillan and Smith handle landing in the whale's mouth well.
Why am I spoiling it for Episode 2 of Series 5? The whole point of the episode is to show that compassion tends to motivate the "monsters" in this case.
This part gets lost on the Doctor Who fans a lot. So this episode is actually one of the best of Series Five. 10/10 from me.
Even so, the crack shows up again...
