Impossible Planet religious crap should be much lower.

 

Empty Child to win!

Edited June 3, 20178 yr by Willy's Tears

I've just finished The Stolen Earth / Journey’s End and I need them to win.

 

I'm in emotionally shattered fragments of being right now. The last bits before Donna loses her memories :cry:

 

"I was goinna be with you, forever"......"rest of my life, travelling in the Tardis. The DoctorDonna" :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

and the way she pleads with him not to do it.....

GAH,Catherine Tate's acting is SPOT ON.

 

 

 

 

Yah but the episodes are pretty poor, ESPECIALLY that cheesy bit where they are all piloting thw TARDIS and Martha Beige is grinning like an idiot whist playing a keyboard. The Donna moments and Rose parts are great.

Can't you go 2 minutes without having to drag something? It's cheesy, yes, but Doctor Who always has been, all the way back to 1963.

 

Can no one praise Catherine Tate's awesome performance without flying in saying 'but the rest was shet!'

Bitch why are you so OBSESSED with me??

 

Take your 2 dolla bargain bin beige personality and go to a wine tasting event where you can ide your boring overtones inder undertones of BOOZE

 

Sket

And also, in your desperate RUSH to come for me ya sad shet you missed the part when it was a discussion of why it should or should not WIN. So Donna parts bein good but the rest crap is not enough for ot to win. Now go to that wine tasting event and get some booze hwlp for yo dry as desert sand limpet person!!

It's a fantastic, winning worthy episode regardless. Perhaps I wouldn't have been arsed about your criticisms if you hadn't already shit all over 90% of all episodes so far making me wonder why you've bothered following the show at all.

Bitch get ouuta hete with your made up stats and DROP this obsession. It a unhealthy as thebthick grease cloggin up yo tat wev

Right, let's put a stop to this name-calling. It is just an innocent countdown :P

The rest wasn't crap though. It was a solid two parter that was perfectly set up throughout the series. Tense, emotional, scary at times. Everything you'd want in a DW series finale.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The series four finale has been the best finale of the new DW and I highly doubt there will ever be a final two/three parter that can outdo it. The series four finale had to be huge and explosive though didn't it. It had to be big enough to explain Catherine Tate leaving as I don't see any other way they could've written Donna out respectfully.

No, Bad Wolf is EASILY the best season finale, with only Angels Take Manhatten coming anywhere near close.

 

The series four one well Martha Jones REALLY draggwd it down.

I don't see how you can sit and call The Stolen Earth / Journey’s End cheesy but think Bad Wolf is better :lol: Rose absorbing the Tardis and destroying all the daleks with a wave of her hand, bringing Jack back from the dead etc was pretty cheesy and full of fluff, moreso than the ending of Journey's end. The only difference is that, with

Donna, it felt more emotional and human since she didn't get a happy ending like Rose did (she went on to have another series and then in this she got to live with the human doctor) and cracking the Tardis with a truck :lol: when it's meant to be impossible to break into or damage? :lol: silly beyond silly.

 

Donna literally saved the universe and wasn't allowed to remember any of it. It's heartbreaking.

But she survived and in her dimension.

 

The Amy and Rory one is worse. Rose being trapped is worse.

 

She wasn't 'tbreaking in. She already had permission. The truck thing led from the Slytheen woman opening it too.it was simply lifting a panel more than anything. That Bad Wolf speech was cheesy but very emotional and well written. You also didn't have the worst doctor ever and Martha Jones stinking it up.

Technically, Rory and Amy were in their Dimension as well, as it was the same earth and same universe. Just was put into a different era.

 

Also, I love Bad Wolf/Parting of The Ways as much as the next guy but the thing I find cheesy is how Rose is able to kill the daleks with her hand...Donna could not do that when she looked into the Tardis what is the difference?

Donna didn't look into the Tardis, she absorbed the energy from the Doctor's regeneration and so became part Timelord :P

Literally, as soon as I pressed enter I remembered this, epic fail of me :lol:

Rose became a Time God.

10 The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit

Series 2, Episodes 8 and 9

Doctor: Tenth

Companion: Rose Tyler

 

Let's get this show back on the road then :D Michael will be pleased to hear that The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit isn't any higher, but still reaches a VERY respectable 10th. The Doctor and Rose land in a storage cupboard on a sanctuary base, where they meet the alien Ood, a race of servants. They also meet the human crew - acting captain Zachary Cross Flame, Ida Scott, Toby Zed, Danny Bartock, Scooti Manista and Mr Jefferson, and learn that the planet is actually orbiting a black hole, something that should be impossible according to the Doctor. After a quake strikes the base, they lose certain sections, including the room where the TARDIS was, leaving the Doctor and Rose stranded. Toby meanwhile is investigating some incredibly old writing, so old that the TARDIS can't translate it, when he hears a voice telling him not to turn around. He ignores it, and finds himself covered in the ancient writing. Later, we see him break the glass of a window on the base, killing Scooti as the planet's surface is uninhabitable. She's seen floating into the black hole by the rest of the crew. Danny notices weird behaviour from the Ood, as their basic telepathy number increases way beyond what it should be. They speak of someone, saying "he is awake". The Doctor and Ida head on an expedition down to the planet, while Rose stays with the others. Possessed Toby infects the Ood, who go after them, while the Doctor and Ida find a giant hole in the ground that opens up.

 

The Doctor and Ida are worried by this hole and try to head back up, but the wire snaps and they can't make it back. The Doctor decides to abseil down, unaware of how far down it goes. Rose and the others head into the underground vents to escape the Ood, but are followed every step of the way. Mr Jefferson sacrifices himself to save Rose, Danny and the now non-possessed Toby, while Zach directs them from the control room, where he's cornered by multiple Ood with only one bullet in his gun. The Doctor and Ida chat over the comms while he abseils, but when he reaches the end of the rope and still isn't at the bottom, he decides to jump, against Ida's wishes. Rose, Danny and Toby manage to reach Ood habitation, and Danny reduces the Ood basic telepathy number. They reunite with Zach and plan to escape in the shuttle while they still can. Rose protests but they carry her on board. Meanwhile, the Doctor awakens at the bottom of the pit, realising he can breathe in the air down there. He faces the Beast, or the devil, or Satan, but realises he in captured there, and it's actually just its body, while its mind is escaping on the rocket in the form of Toby. When Toby becomes possessed again, Rose undoes his seatbelt and shoots the windscreen, sending him hurtling into the black hole. The Doctor uses the two urns next to the prison of the Beast to shatter the artificial orbit of the black hole and send the planet hurtling in, before he sees the TARDIS and escapes, towing the rocket away. He drops Ida off and collects Rose.

 

This is a perfect example of how a base-under-siege Doctor Who episode should be. We've got really interesting aliens (the Ood are fantastically designed), relatable and realistic characters, and a threat that feels real throughout. The build-up of the Ood and Toby being possessed in part 1 pays off really well as the cliffhanger is great, and the chase sequences in the vents in part 2 are my favourite part of the episode, incredibly tense and the threat feels genuine. Each character seemed to serve a purpose and I loved the development they all seemed to get throughout. Scooti's death felt incredibly sad despite barely knowing her at the time, because of the way she was written, and the fantastic shot of her drifting away to the black hole. It's a really well thought out two-parter, and considering it's an episode about the devil, it could've easily been poorly executed and full of nonsense, but it really wasn't and it makes for one of the most tense Doctor Who stories since its revival.

That's always been one of my favourite stories but I don't often see a lot of praise for it. Deservedly this high imo.
