10/10
Exceptionally Good

Warning: Spoilers
Of all the Doctor Who episodes to catch rerun in America, Fires of Pompeii and Blink are, without a doubt, two of the best.

Fires of Pompeii aired this past Friday and once again, it is enjoyable to watch.

Two standout moments are the realization that the Doctor must either bring about the destruction of Pompeii to save the Earth, and Donna aids him in this decision, and the family being saved.

Both seem to deal with maintaining history (the destruction of Pompeii) or changing history (saving the family) but in truth, for all the Doctor knows (!!!), it may have just as well been his role in history to save this family, for whatever purpose.

The rescue of the family was much more delightful to watch than, say, the crowded tardis in Peter Davison's Awakening.
