New Earth is a good episode. It's hilarious, fun, and fast paced; but Cassandra's servant and the weird looking "zombies" are really off putting to new viewers and to returning fans alike. Tennant and Piper were hilarious, and it was great to see Cassandra and more importantly, the Face of Boe. I really liked the use of the Westminster Bridge theme from series 1- it works very well as an action theme, and the music that played when the Doctor met the Face of Boe again was great.
I think the worst thing about New Earth was the zombies. They looked really bad, and they weren't very good villains. Also, when the Doctor sprayed the zombies with the cure he mixed, shouldn't he have been affected in some way by it as well?
New Earth is a good episode of Doctor Who. It's fun, really funny, and the acting is good, but the villains and the zombies can be very off putting to new fans. Cassandra wasn't as good as she was in the End of the World, and her "pet" was really, really weird. For those reasons, New Earth wasn't a very good series opener. Still, it's not a bad episode. 7/10
