A suitable end to the show.

I think Eclipse of the Korven is the most K9 episode of all the K9 episodes if that makes sense. Everything that makes K9 what it is is on display here in full effect.

K9 getting instantly demolished as soon as he gets into a fight, then being able to do something just in the nick of time to save the day. Half the cast not really getting anything to do for a lot of the story. The pointless romance story. A bunch of CCPCs being goofy. The Korven being set up as an incredible threat and then being taken down in seconds.

The great heartfelt moments that get a little undercut. The slightly janky but also still really good looking CGI. The genuinely great acting for Gryffen. The delightful villany of Thorne.

Eclipse of the Korven is K9 bearing it's scars for all the world to see, for good, for ill, and it's genuinely just a delight to watch.

But it's still a bit s**t, 5/10

I loved seeing the show get better as it went along, but unfortunately it then got worse again. I was aware whilst watching the budding romance between our teen leads and K9’s eventual regeneration, that I was meant to be feeling things, but the truth is that I felt nothing. I am ultimately glad this show exists as it's part of the Whoniverse’s rich tapestry, but it’s a pretty poor patchwork.
