Tooth and Claw begins lighthearted and comedic with a few running jokes. As the episode progressed, it took a very horror-esque turn. I think a werewolf is a nice change for the usual sci fi monsters the show usually displays. The main issue I have with the episode is I think it's a bit rushed. I believe it could've been much improved by being made into a two parter. It just tries to shove too many things into too short an episode.
Overall a well above average episode, helped by its moody atmosphere and comedic timing, but hurt by its issues with timing and being too jam packed. I would give it an 8.7/10, rounding to a 9.
