Oh, yeah, SOD itself isn't nearly as good as an episode as DMD. But then again, DMD is an exceptionally good episode. I'm afraid the next episode, "Suns and Lovers," isn't the strongest, but I'm tempted to say that there isn't a bad episode in season 3, period. And there are lots of utterly amazing episodes--though more toward the middle and end of the season.

The big highlight of SOD for me is the fact that that kiss at the end is possibly one of the hottest things I've ever seen. Heh. ;)
