A bit rushed especially in its climax but there's a lot of novelty to be had about Kate Stewart, UNIT's return and The Doctor adjusting to life outside the TARDIS despite the fact that he handled it quite well in The Lodger and Closing Time.
Love the show, wish it had a better score as the music has hurt it all season.
The running kidnapping gag is probably the best comedy-related thing of the year so far
Love how Tarka has become one of the most compelling characters in the show - his arc with Book is just as great as the main one. Such a great stakes raising episode, really care a lot more about the bridge crew than I have done in previous seasons!
Think this episode has pushed me in the camp of Season 4 > 3 as much as I love 3A. Love the attention they're giving to the characters - it's spent the past few episodes addressing the complaint about not spending enough time with the bridge crew and it's moving in a clear direction. Plus, it's always great to see Jett Reno show up!
One of my favourite shows from 2014 and one of the most underrated ones too. Excellent stuff.
Welcome back Halt and Catch Fire! Excellent start.
Excellent film! Great soundtrack. Go watch it!
Welcome back HTGAWM! Missed this show. The premiere was excellent and I can't wait to see where this goes now.
Well, this was disappointing. Far too convoluted and went nowhere.
Wasn't expecting this show to be as good and fun as it is. Loved the first two seasons.
A slow moving but excellent film with some great cinematography, great soundtrack and incredible performances.
Yay for the Firefly reunion!
One of the greatest series finales that I've seen. Well done, Banshee! You'll be missed.
Excellent performances from both Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Another masterpiece from one of the greatest directors ever.
Dark, twisted and incredibly disturbing. Not for everyone, but worth a watch. I liked it.
Love the dynamic between The Doctor, Martha and Shakespeare in this episode. Shakespeare being treated as one of the rockstars of his age feels appropriate, and The Doctor quoting Shakespeare back at Shakespeare will never not grow old. A few sketchy moments with the writing aside that have not aged well, The Shakespeare Code is still a fun romp in a mostly consistent season.
The Stolen Earth is the Doctor Who event: the first part of a culmination of everything Russell T. Davies has brought to the show. Big, loud, bombastic & ends with multiple cliffhangers on a sprawling, galaxy-wide scale where the heroes lose. Infinity War, only better.
Quite a comedown after the brilliant Stolen Earth and the weakest of the post Unicorn and the Wasp era episodes, but there are some great ideas in this and it aims big and succeeds in resolving the massive cliffhanger the only way RTD knows how: deus ex machina. The departure for Donna never fails to be emotional even when Rose's send-off is a bit too melodramatic, but as a way to close off one of the best eras of the show, Journeys End does so in style. The Russos blatantly nabbed the whole Infinity War "50% of the population" thing from this.
Murray Gold is at his peak here - Song of Freedom is top-tier. Love the Sarah Jane/Davros reunion too, it's well overdue.
TV as the 6th estate, completely damning of the police and a complete tour-de-force of a performance by Sheridan Smith. Stephen Merchant in an against-type role but Port is never glamourized. Essential.
Excellent show so far. One of the best new series of the Summer.
A pretty good performance from both Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington, and this may be one of Director Antoine Fuqua's best movie's even if it isn't perfect.
Excellent classic. Robert DeNiro kills it and Martin Scorsese is the master.
An excellent season and one of the greatest ever of any television show. Surpassed Season 1.
Welcome back Black Sails! Excellent episode. Yay, Blackbeard!
Terrific show. One of the best BBC series out there.
Awesome finale and a great DC reference at the end. Can't wait for more.
What an episode! Eva Green being excellent as normal.
Excellent finale to a criminally underrated series.
