Not much happened but it did feel like a recap of the show so far. It was about this man called Elton and how he met the doctor before and become Obsessed with him. He had a group called Linda and they were all killed off by the Abzorbaloff. It recapped all the earth story's so far so we had the Autons from Rose. The Slitheen crashing into big Ben from the Aliens of London. The Sycorax ship from The Christmas Invasion. This was a doctor lite episode so not much to say about them here. 5/10 Jann View profile Like Liked 0 13 April 2025 · 30 words Review by Jonathan_ Spoilers 1 This review contains spoilers! I think this episode actually has a really strong opening half but the moment the Absorbaloff shows up it just stops being fun, and the ending is pretty unsatisfying Jonathan_ View profile Like Liked 1 8 April 2025 · 87 words Review by presidentdisastra Spoilers This review contains spoilers! I don’t know why so many people don’t like this one; it’s sweet. Tragic but light. I enjoy the focus on characters that aren’t the Doctor or companions. On the way ordinary people’s lives are disrupted. And yeah the monster wasn’t that interesting, but in this case the point of the story was the relationships more than the monster. Also, the look into Jackie being lonely was nice. I like the thought of her calling Rose about it and Rose insisting they immediately track this guy down. presidentdisastra View profile Like Liked 0 31 March 2025 · 2 words Review by CarrotJuice 2 Shut up.
