Season four of Dr Who has had some excellent episodes in it, all building up to the extended finale that airs next week in the UK, I felt a little cheated last week as I thought that episode was a bit of a filler and that Rose’s proper return deserved a little more.
This week’s episode The Stolen Earth was a lot better but still felt if it were simply leading up to better things, and yes better things are definitely coming!
I can’t really talk about the episode without spoilers so I’m going to resort to the trusty sonic spoiler saver:
Show spoiler ▼
It was so good seeing Torchwood again, can’t wait for their next season to see what the hell they’re going to do with the show - especially with all the rumours flying around. Â I only watched one episode of the Sarah Jane Smith series but she is such an ultimate amongst the companions it is always nice to see her!
I love their reactions to the Dalek invasion fleet appears and we hear ‘exterminate’, Jack is great as a tear rolls down his face and he apologises to Gwen and Ianto that there’s nothing he can do and that they’re going to die. Â I think though that Sarah Jane Smith steals the show with her reaction, it’s been a long time since she’s faced the Daleks and Davros.
Davros, brilliant he’s back but I thought it a bit of an anti-climax, granted I knew he was coming but I don’t know if the episode conveys the magnitude of the event. Â Also the Shadow Proclamation might have been handy to fight the Daleks?
Rose is the one that really gets me, I know she’s been in an alternate universe but she sure is a misery guts, I’m depressed everytime I see her, I think that she’s a little over rated anyway, Martha is gold.
The Harriet Jones former PM joke got taken a little far, to a point where it belittled her death scene in my opinion.
I loved Gwen declaring that she won’t go down without a fight, like Hoshi and Owen.
So the Doctor is regenerating and they’re keeping it all a big secret for next week, where I can tell you that something will happen to stop him changing, as we know Tennant isn’t going anywhere. Â It may be an appearance of one of the other Doctors but ultimately Tennant will be restored as the current Doctor, or maybe that’s the thing, maybe he won’t be.
Either way next week’s episode should be pretty awesome!
