Non-spoiler comments on epsidoes 2 and 3?
Episode 2 was the strongest of the new series so far, 3 was the weakest.
Episode 2 had some good acting, some emotional moments, some fairly good visual effects, and as strong a rationale for the Doctor needing a companion as we've ever seen. It also has some pretty spooky predictions for the rest of the season.
Episode 3 didn't quite hook me as much, although it was still very watchable. There was only one prediction in this, but it was rather troubling.
Episodes 4 and 5 look like they're going to be real fun.

... And the first was a lot better than a lot of folks seemed to be saying - except why does Russell T. Davies insist upon killing off his hottest MILF archvillains? Miss Foster, Mrs. Wormwood and Yvonne Hartman all need to form their own Estrogen Legion of Doom - due in no small part to Tate as Donna. I get the feeling this is going to be for her career what Good Morning Vietnam was for Robin Williams, in terms of showing the dramatic range of a previously mostly comic actor.
The second was really quite awesome, living up to the promise of the clip that you and I already discussed in e-mail at length. Davies seems to be a fan of the Asterix comics, by the way he named the characters, and the clarification of why the Doctor can interfere with history at some times, but not others, was perfectly consistent with classic series continuity, while allowing enough wiggle room for future interpretations.
