The Doctor's Daughter

This story was very filler. It has all the right things to make it a good episode but it doesn't execute it well. It continues Martha's return after facing the sontarans and takes her to the planet Messaline. Her extended return is wasted so much. It puts her with a fish creature half the episode that just gurgles. She has nothing to bounce off of or anything it's so wasted. Jenny is another character that is wasted because she's a child of the machine that the doctor rarely cares about for most of the episode and then when he does start to care she gets shot and dies. Only to come back once the doctor is gone. Overall not a bad concept but its poorly executed and wasted potential. 6/10
