Dead Man Dancing

I love "Dead Man Walking". I should probably get that out of the way first. I have a few issues with the ending, but I'll get to that later. For the time being it's great stuff, and I love it. It's full of humour and shocks, and it plays out like a homage to Evil Dead II; and Evil Dead II is always good. The whole episode is so much fun, even though, technically speaking, it's all a bit of a bummer for Owen. He's not having a great time. Neither's Martha - or Tosh, come to that. Or Jack, probably, or the twelve people who get eaten, or the small boy who gets scared half to death. But I think it's fun, and that's the important bit. So there.
