EPTEvery show has fluff in it to help fund for the finale. So I hope that this finale will be big. As usual, a two-parter.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/theadventuregames On 7 April 2010, the BBC announced that the fifth series would be supplemented with four "interactive episodes",[13] released online for free. They are described as "part of the Doctor Who universe", and will "go on to define the look and feel of future TV episodes." Executively produced by Moffat, Wenger and Willis with Anwen Aspden and Charles Cecil, the games are developed by Sumo Digital and written by Phil Ford and James Moran. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan provide full voiceovers for the digitalised Doctor and Amy, both of whom are playable characters. Each episode offers around two hours of gameplay.[13] | ||

So I hope that this finale will be big. As usual, a two-parter. I don't. I haven't liked any of the season finales so far, with the possible exception of the Chris Ecclestone one. The season finales of New Doctor Who have just been big overblown fanwank extravaganzas, each trying to outdo the previous one in sheer bigness. I much prefer my Doctor Who to be low key. Saving three people locked in a room usually provides for better drama than saving a galaxy. Kwark linked to Blink, that episode was the el-cheapo episode of the season, where they had NO special effects at all, and where they sent the two stars of the show on holiday, and it still turned out head and shoulders above the rest of that season, thanks to Moffat's writing and the low-keyness of it all. I'd rather they skimped on the finale and made the low key budget episodes into expensive lowkey budget episodes! | ||

Seeing as its designed for children, the puzzles arent really that difficult. The storyline is fairly simplistic too with not as much depth as there would be in an episode. I wouldn't really recomend playing it but it is free and takes less than hour to finish so it has that in its favour at least. | ||

They are so vastly contrasting and yet both absolutely brilliant - really demonstrates just how versatile the show is. Right after watching Blink I watched The Girl in the Fireplace. Moffat is just so good. | ||

The Doctor was incapacitated unseen at the start of the episode and it was told from the perspective of a confused everywoman. They could attempt it with another monster but remaking Blink would be difficult. The way they told it was masterful though, the characters were immediate and likeable and the immersion was through the roof. | ||

Just because other shows TRY to seem more realistic, they will all probably seem just as retarded 50 years from now. So if you think this is "star trek for people with frontal lobotomy", then maybe you're the one that needs a brain check. Either way, this has the same appeal that Jekyll had on me. I like the stories, the actors, the way they handle continuation and the lack of serious plot holes. It's also funny and bearable to watch unlike most other SF shows out there. I'd give it an 8/10. | ||

Anyways, I am really looking forward to the last three episodes of this season. River Song is definitely amazing. I hope they kill a lot of Daleks. | ||

Well, more power to you. It's not for everyone. I was a huge fan of SG1, but though Atlantis was just ok. I hear good things about Universe from the thread in this forum, tho, so I might end up checking that out. | ||
