What I like about "Silver Cornet" is the way Bonetree takes a very BIG story (about the end of the world) and makes it claustrophobic by setting it on the train. The fight becomes embodied by just a few people, and I enjoyed the opposing forces of Kever and Blue.
As for season 10, I had a similar reaction to "I Want to Believe." It killed my fannish feelings dead in two short hours, and it took five years to recover them again. So I was less than enthusiastic about the idea of season 10 to start with--I finally had remembered why I loved the show so much once upon a time, and here was CC and FOX to remind me of the bitter end. Only Darin Morgan lured me back. I watched his episode and "Home Again" and found them both...okay. They didn't make me want to throw things but neither did they light my fire the way the original run did back in 1999. But, to echo the theme of many here, they made me get out my DVDs and rewatch some of the classics. I felt relieved. I wasn't wrong! It had been an amazing show in its day and so it will be forever...in TV history. Despite the wistful title, you really can't go "home again."
