I've loved this season. I wasn't expecting much and it has become one of my favourite Doctor Who spin offs (not that there's much competition). Torchwood is still a bit better (except for season 4) but this is miles better than SJA (*). I found Rhodia's lore and Quill's character extremely cool and interesting. The human characters were okayish, I really liked Matteusz's relationship with Charlie, quite endearing. Nightvisiting and Quill's solo(ish) adventure were great standouts.

Such a shame this didn't get renewed, the cliffhanger got me pumped for another season. At the end the characters were getting great development too. I really want to find out what Patrick Ness had in mind with the Weeping Angels and the Governors.

 

 

*Rant incoming: I'm sorry it was just extremely boring, with one dimensional characters, and with only one great episode out of 5 seasons -> Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? (it was aimed at kids, but so is Doctor Who so idk)

CHARLIE: Matteusz...

MATTEUSZ: Please, no more promises. I won't make any either. Except one. I promise to love you today. Tomorrow I'll make this promise again.

CHARLIE: I'll make that promise too.

MATTEUSZ: I would quite like to kiss you now.

MUSICIAN: For our opening act tonight, I'd like to introduce my very best student. It's her first-ever public performance, and with her own song, too, so please give a massive welcome to April McLean.
APRIL: This is called The Lost.
MUSICIAN: Three, and

(Melancholy Irish folk music.)

APRIL: ♫ Here is a song for the lost. Here is a song for the unreturned. Here is a song for all of us who stepped away from home. Here is a song for the wanderer. A song for the lonely soul, Who's brought only her own heart as she goes on alone. ♫
