Review of The Idiot’s Lantern by Jonathan_

13 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

One of the weaker episodes of this season, but is still pretty alright

The Doctor and Rose investigate why people's faces are vanishing. The Wire is pretty creepy as a villain and the missing faces is also pretty scary

I do like the Connolly family drama, it's cathartic to see the abusive husband/father put in his place by his wife. Though I understand why some people might not like the ending where Rose tells the boy to try and reconcile with him, I also understand why Rose in particular, who never had a chance to grow up with her father, would encourage this (and also I think it's a good thing for families to stay together, though not if he continues his abuse)
