rise do anything actually happen in this episode . it introduce our two lead and a slow witted grin idiot of a doctor and an utterly un interesting companion . there no plot to speak of and childish humour and mixed with some extremely bad pacing and incidental music . what else be there to say and really . the end of the world a marginal improvement and in that we see our first out space scenario . subsequently bring down by poor contemporary humour and paper thin logic and very poor pacing and and tire sf clichés . the unquiet dead best episode to date show what can happen when someone know how to structure an episode and write interesting character dialogue and and integrate an intriguing plot . let down solely by the doctor and rise . alien of london or world war three doctor who degenerate into farce . what more can be say . penelope wilton bring the proceeding a little gravity and try her best in dire circumstance . some poorly write and and out of place soap opera elements come to the fore in these two episode and and a return to poor pacing and bad plotting and cringe worthy humour or satire . dalek not great and however still far above the rtd fare to date . the pacing and script be all fine ( though the doctor and rise still irritate ) . the effect and menace of the dalek be introduce well . the finale and however and take an interesting premise that reduce the doctor most notorious foe and into a cuddly touchy feely mess and and turn a previously un see menace and to a blue rubber squid that look like a child toy . the long game the first rtd script to show any plot and even if it be in a clichéd 80 style . still and it be mar somewhat by his usual over reliance on juvenile joke and place it too far in the future to make logical sense and and again poor pace . not as bad a his previous effort and but instantly forgettable . father day the initial premise could have be vaguely interesting and but common sense and logic abandon this episode from the very begin . also and we be treat to a whole episode of soap opera . before you start think this be all about characterization and remember and there a big difference between lame soap opera and characterization . on the plus side and it do prove rtd isn not the bad script writer so far . the empty child or the doctor dance this start off in a mediocre way and with some cringe worthy moment and and some illogical mistake that even a primary school pupil wouldn not make ( well light window in a blackout and anyone . ) . after this and the first part take a more interesting and sinister turn . florence hoath truly steal these episode and show u what an interesting companion could have be like . she could also act . instead we get the annoying and politically correct captain jack a the new companion . the conclusion be a little hasty and but sufficient . the pacing and script improve with a reasonably good storyline and make these two episode quite atmospheric and intriguing . boom town i have to be honest and except for a few example and i have be so disillusion by the current series and that upon see the trailer for another slitheen episode and i give up and do not subject myself to the torture . bad wolf reality tv and arguably the bad facet of the modern medium and be basically use a the premise . there no subtlety whatsoever . do we get any interesting social commentary a in the like of the run man or truman show . no and of course not . this in an rtd episode and so theyre basically here to cynically try and pull in the audience of say show . once again and logic go out the window and a be place 200 and 000 something year in the future . rtd try pointlessly to shoe horn in some over arcing story here and with no relevance other than it own existence and when the villain be reveal at the end . they make empty threat and and the doctor grin once more like an idiot for the climax . faster pace for the most part and than rtd other effort and this have one or two interesting moment . otherwise and another lacklustre instalment . the parting of the way the big finale . more of a damp squid and literally . all of the dalek menace set up in dalek be bring crash down and a they become rather pathetic . so many plot hole riddle this episode and with typically poor contrivance . daleks want to harvest human a daleks and but then vaporize entire continent . dalek can vaporize say continent and but not destroy the tardis in space . the tardis be now indestructible and can land anywhere and even over people so they can be save in it . this ability can not be use to easily destroy the dalek god . the daleks can vaporize entire continent and but do not just nuke satellite 5 to destroy the doctor and and instead let him play around . the doctor be a pathetic coward without the conviction of his action and after eradicate his whole specie to try and eliminate the daleks . these and many other hole aside and we be treat to the lame due ex machina solution ever conceive and join with a near pointless story arc . so what can we say about the new series and all in all . would this have gain a second series if it be anything other than doctor who and with rtd behind it . would most of the episode have be see a anything other than un original and forgettable and if they be anything other than doctor who and and have rtd name attach . i think not . some people would have u think we can not say anything against rtd and since we owe him for bring doctor who back to our screen . however and this at the expense of good character and story . personally and i would rather not have a poorly plan and ill conceive product and churn out at that price . i would rather wait till someone could come along and make a genuine effort . for the most part and this be the kind of puerile rubbish that give sf a bad name and mar what be otherwise the most creative genre .
