Survival is one of my all-time favourite Who episodes, and definitely my favourite Seven episode (and I really do love Seven so...). But you do need a high tolerance for bad costumes, because the Cheetah people really do look like they got kicked out of a furry convention.
Feneric is awesome as well despite the whole THE BABY IS YOUR MOTHER! YOUR MOTHER IS THE BABY! YOU DON'T HATE THE BABY! head pounding bit. As for what Seven does and doesn't know in the faith scene... no one ever knows what Seven does and doesn't know, and if Ace recovered a bit quickly, you could take that either as her own trust and faith (or else Seven is hypnotizing her to forget it, because he does stuff like that). One of the reasons I like Eleven and Amy is because of how similar they are to Seven and Ace. Except Seven and Ace are far more dysfunctional and Amy has Rory. But Ace's girl/boyfriends always die as well, though they don't come back so...
