Well the episode was fairly good, but then I've noticed that RTD does this a lot.  His first episodes tend to be appeasement offerings towards fandom for the mistakes he made the last time.  Like in the first episode of Season 3, he set Martha up to be the anti-Rose (speaking of which, what the hell is she doing in the first episode? Huh.  Maybe she's kinda flitting between the two dimensions and doesn't know it? Or maybe she's EvilGhost!Rose!!), and look what happened.  So until later in the season, I'm gonna wait and see if he fucks up the awesome of Donna completely and utterly rejecting the Doctor's Time Cock.

"I want a mate."
"You want TO MATE?!?!"
"No! A mate!!"
"I'm not mating with the likes of you! You're a big stick of nothing, alien nothing!"
"...."


"[Martha] fancied me *insert cocky grin here*"
"Mad Martha, I'd call her.  Blind Martha.  Charity Martha."
"*cocky grin is KOed!*"

The plot made me laugh.  It was just a bit silly (Alien babies made from fat? Intergalactic Supernanny? WTF?), in fact possibly sillier than space rhinos and a bloodsucking, straw-carrying OAP.

Eh, might as well go the whole hog.  Hopefully Season 4 New Who won't be the painful experience of Season 3 New Who.  As long as Donna rejects the Time Cock, Martha isn't hung up over the Doctor, Rose doesn't Sue it up and the Doctor keeps the emo in check, I think I can enjoy myself.

AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE NO SAINT ROSE OR TINKERBELL JESUS.
