Terrific that it finally gives Ryan the emotional catharsis he was craving with his dad. And what a great bit of acting between Ryan and his dad over tea. Ryan takes his dad's excuse and turns it back around in a very effective way. Also the Daleks puppeteering a human is terrifying???? Truly fun stuff. zachbot3000 View profile Like Liked 0 6 April 2025 · 93 words Review by Dullish Spoilers 3 This review contains spoilers! Resolution No more Christmas specials, this is a new years episode. A lone dalek invades Earth in the past and is defeated beings buried in 3 parts across the globe until the part in England is found and it is reformed. Two plots, Ryan's dad returns and gives Ryan and Graham character progression. While that happens a dalek is being built out of scraps, it's obviously defeated. We also discover UNIT doesn't exist anymore, because the government sucks and didn't provide enough funds which makes sense seeing as many UNIT HQs have been destroyed.

A descent and unique Dalek episode, I thought this showed how dangerous and resourceful even one Dalek can be. Wasn't to much of a fan of Ryan's Dad's storyline, felt like a worse version of Clyde's story in SJA. whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 1 7 December 2024 · 62 words Review by Bongo50 2 I feel that Resolution has a really strong concept behind it and I love the design, effects and cinematography. However, the story is really let down for me by what feels like increadibly clunky dialogue. There are also a few pacing issues in my opinion. Overall, it is by no means terrible, but I would be extremely hesitant to call it good. Bongo50 View profile Like Liked 2 Show All Reviews (9) Open in new window Statistics AVG.

DOCTOR: I was thinking... everywhere. — Resolution Transcript + Script Needs checking (Over images of men in early medieval armour slain and horses running loose, and three knights standing around a pyre.) (A long time ago, on the battlefields of Britain, an army of enemies came together to face an impossible opponent beyond their wildest nightmares. This unlikely army fought and won the bloodiest of battles... but only just. Their opponent had been so remorseless, the fear it placed in them was absolute. So they made a pact. They split their opponent's vanquished body into three pieces to be buried at opposite ends of the world, and vowed the burial sites would be forever guarded, as a precaution. ) (Anuta Island, South Pacific. Siberia, Russia.) (The three swore an oath of secrecy. The terrifying opponent was to be erased from history. The Three Custodians undertook their long journeys across land and sea, locating isolated sites and carrying out their tasks with monastic dedication. Passing their duties down through the generations, to protect the future, the Custodians were unyielding.) (The Custodians guard the holes they have buried their bundles in. Back in Yorkshire, England, a lone horseman is shot down by an archer.) Show Full Transcript Open in new window View Script (PDF)
