New Who Review for Turn Left
Jul. 19th, 2008 08:45 amThis one is the beginning of the rollercoaster that leads to the end of the 4th season. I have to yet again say that some of what I might be commenting on might not have been in the SciFi airing but in the BBC version which will be (fingers crossed) the DVD version.
And Bad SciFi! No biscuit for you with those previews of the next episode. You would have been much better served by using what the Beeb used for the preview which worked very well and didn't give away so many large plot points and one whopping surprise.
Overall it is a very interesting episode that is hard to quantify without spoilers really. I can say that it is Donna-centric. Catherine Tate, Bernard Cribbins, and especially Jacqueline King gave such wonderful performances. Ms. King's is often overlooked but just watching happening to her through out the episode and how she act, reacts, or doesn't react is just amazing.
Onto the fuller discussion behind the cut. Remember that we are only talking to Turn Left. Please hold discussion of the Stolen Earth and Journey's End until the appropriate time. Thank you.

I am grateful for the wealth of stuff that RTD mined in this episode.
