This will be just one more tribute to a great man, one of many that the entire metal community will be making. Dio was one of the greatest singers ever, and like so many people it was his albums with Rainbow and Black Sabbath that helped to get me into metal all those years ago.
I'm going to stick Rainbow Rising on, throw the horns one last time for him and be glad that i got to see him with Heaven and Hell last year.

Dr Who: Flesh And Stone/Vampires Of Venice
So, I'm a bit late with this. Two episodes rolled into one it is then, so I can have a chance of catching up tomorrow. Generally, the standard is still high, and the plot is moving like lightning compared to previous seasons.
Flesh And Stone finishes the Weeping Angels two parter, and has a lot of revelations about the crack in time (which, far from being ignored or merely alluded to is a major plot point). Amy doesn't save the day, but is hugely important again, and possibly far too good. She's a little too perfect, and as the Doctor says at the end of the episode, it's all about her.
Vampires Of Venice is light relief after the Weeping Angels, with space fish and explosions, and Amy's fiance along for the ride. The fish people (sadly not minions of Dagon... as far as we know!) have escaped the crack and want to restart their world. The Doctor decides they can't. We see that the Doctor is less tolerant and more independant than his predecessors, and that Amy is still saving the day. The crack shows up again, in the TARDIS lock and in the sky, hinting at bigger things to come.
So far I stand by the assertion that Amy is somehow causing the crack in time, but the Doctor's excitement at being able to rewrite history seems like it will be a major point too. I wouldn't be surprised if time is rewritten so that everyone on Earth forgets about the Daleks etc, bringing the series closer to the original.
Next week (Tomorrow, to be exact) we see the Time Lord against the Dream Lord apparently, and Amy makes a terrible choice. I could probably take a stab at what that will be, but I'd rather wait and see. An episode about dreams? I thought Neil Gaiman wasn't on board until next season...
