Bad Wolf

For about the first 30 minutes of this episode I thought to myself, what a loud of crap. It was absolutely terrible, mainly cause I've never been a huge fan of reality TV, and I absolutely hate Big Brother. There were alot of things that I really hated about this episode, and one of them was Captain Jack, I really can't stand him, he is like a mosquito that won't go away. The character is so arrogant, and just seems to have no purpose in any of the stories that he has been in, he should've had one episode and thats all. I espeically hated when he was touching the androids breasts. I really was hoping that when the androids arm became a chainsaw that she would do the world a favour and chop his head off.

I do have to admit though that the climax of the story was brilliant, really tying in the Bad Wolf references that we have so often heard throughout every episode this series. However I still don't understand how Bad Wolf being graffitied on the TARDIS or a small mention by Gwenyth has to do with the Daleks invasion. It was an excellent build up, and by the time you got to the climax you completely forgot all about the stupidity of the first 30 minutes.

The final few shots of the Daleks in their ships were just magic, as were the previews for next week. And is it just me or did I hear Davros at the end!!!! I really hope that the end solution to this is not that the Daleks get completely wiped out, I think it would be terrible, the Daleks should live on. But I do hope that in the wake of this epsidode that Captain Jack gets killed, and that the BBC get a new Producer/Head Writer for the series. Sorry Russell, but if the Daleks weren't in this episode then it would've been just another one of your pathetic epsiodes. Funny enough however this has been the only RTD episode that isn't based around characterisation, but the first 30 minutes of rubbish really spoil the episode. I thought the story could've worked without references to shows like Big Brother and the Weakest Link. I did however like the reference to the Long Game, and how we see the consequences of the Doctor's actions in that episode, and that it isn't always 'and they lived happily ever after'.

Overall, the climax of this episode is exellent, just looking at 200 Dalek ships preparing for battle is unbelievable, but as mentioned previously the first 30 minutes were absolute rubbish. I really hope the next episode doesn't ruin the best cliffhanger for the season, and I pray that the last episode for the series isn't going to be more RTD rubbish.
