I wrote a long ass review for this episode (as I usually do) and accidentaly deleted it... So maybe it isn't as good or developed but anyways. I loved this episode! It's an amazing season finale to a pretty good season. Really liked the conflict between the Daleks and the Cybermen (something I did NOT expect to see), and both Mickey and Jackie were great, specially Jackie cuz I couldn't stop grinning when the Doctor made her pass as her daughter. Talking about Rose, I can't believe this is the final goodbye to her, a character I didn't expect much at the start and that I ended up loving deeply. I'm not sure if this is the last time she appears, or if the Doctors previous companions reappear in the show, but I really liked the last scene of The Doctor and Rose. Incredibly emotional and well-done. Can't wait to continue and see who that woman in the bride dress is lmao.

Ah, yes, the classic "Blink" episode. I was looking out a whole lot to this one, having heard a lot of good things and seeing it listed as the top episode of Doctor Who, and, of course, I was looking forward to meeting one of the most iconic villain this show has ever created (or, atleast, the one that has been the most ingrained in pop culture), the Weeping Angels. As far as standalone episodes go, this might be the perfect standalone Doctor Who episode: it features a one-off story (which I did not expect, I assumed it was going to be separate in two episodes), a great leading actress performing a really charismatic character, Sally Sparrow, and a hooking & spooky plot where we don't know where The Doctor nor Martha are for the longest of time, leaving us in the unknown just like our protagonist. This almost feels like a short horror movie. Although I may go and say that, even if I'm not even half done with this show, I don't think this one will be my top favorite episode, it isn't even my favorite episode as of now. I wouldn't call it overrated, I don't like that term and this episode does not deserve it, but I'd say I enjoy episodes that focus on The Doctor's conflicts and characters rather than standalones stories. That's not to put this one into shame, since it's just a personal preference, but it doesn't stop this episode to be one of the best one shots this show has ever told.

AHHH yes! Yes! Amazing! I'm a goddamn sucker for emotional episodes, and this one gets a gold star for that! I loved how much it delved onto Tenth's (and, well, The Doctor in general) wishes of living a normal life, and seeing the personification of that (John Smith) suffer from it, suffer from having to turn back into The Doctor, having to give up on a normal life, something The Doctor could never, NEVER afford despite of everything he can achieve... God, this is so good! And Martha's confession to Tenth was really good, and, god, the conclusion to the Family of Blood?! Seeing the rage of The Doctor?! THAT WAS SO SO COOL! So freaking cruel but deserved, it was really good to see how Tenth was, in reality, having mercy on them. And the conclusion to Tim's life-story? Really touching as well. All in all, this episode is a perfect depiction of The Doctor's conflicts, both internal and external, and fleshes out his character a lot in many aspects.

A great send-off to the Ninth Doctor. I will truly miss Christopher Eccleston's interpretation of the character, and his dynamic with Rose, but I'm glad his conclusion was so so good. I cried like a baby at his "death", too. Such a fantastic run, I cannot understand people skipping it. I can't wait to, one day, in the far future, rewatch this show and see the Ninth Doctor again. It's a pity that Christopher Eccleston will never do this role ever again, but I'm glad he decided to cut ties for his own being. Well, after all... Time to see the next Doctor, and hope he can compete with the magnificent Ninth Doctor.

This season finale is good, flawed, but good. I have some grips with it, first with the time-skip, because it was a really good idea but I, atleast, didn't really get the feel that it passed a year since the last episode, it didn't transmit that feeling that well, it felt more like it happened a scene away from last episode which killed the ambience a little. It also had some over-the-top moments here and there, specially with The Master, a villain that feels a little underwhelming at the end, although him dying in the arms of Tenth was an amazing scene. I don't know if he appears again in later seasons somehow, but I hope the show deepens The Doctor's ties with other Time Lords/his race. On the other half, I liked Martha's conclusion, It's a pity she has to go so early on since I think she had a lot of potential and she was a genuinely really good companion, but it's a logical decision by her and concludes her character arc really well. ALSO, it's a pity I got spoiled about the Face of Boe identity just some days ago before watching this episode, because it's a SENSATIONAL plot-twist! Not sure if we'll see more of Jack, but I really hope so. Overall, a nice season finale, the weakest thus far, but good nonetheless.

So, so good! Loved the last interaction between The Doctor & "Satan", and how the episode discuss the meaning behind Satan's fear across the universe. The Doctor descending into the pit is also an amazing scene, and Rose was great as well.

I will reserve my thoughts to the season-finale episode, but I loved this two episodes! It was a surprise to see Mikey again, and the final plot-twist was really cool! Incredibly enjoyable and a really good set-up to this season finale.

An excellent transition to David Tennant's Tenth Doctor. I didn't expect the transition of Doctor's to go like this, since he's still the Doctor but not quite with the same characteristics, and I really liked it. The whole episode itself is great, seeing Rose devastated by Ninth's death and how the world is almost done for without the Doctor's help, and his awakening at the end is amazing. Can't wait to see what this new Doctor brings, but I'm glad to see that, so far, David Tennant fills Christopher Eccleston's shoes perfectly.

Amazing episode! I can't wait to see the next episode and see where this story-line goes. Really liked how the explored the "human" part of The Doctor, or to put it in better words, the desire of Tenth to experience a human life and how it would look like. It's really cool and experimental episode, even to the point I would've liked a more slower paced first part of the story-line, since these episodic villains aren't really memorable (or atleast these last ones aren't), but It's really good stuff so far!

Loved it! The actual plot of the episode is okay, the Krillitanes were enjoyable villains and their plan was really intriguing (specially because it had a lot to do with The Doctor's story), but what I enjoyed the most was his reencounter with Sarah Jane Smith and K9, even if I never watched Classic Doctor Who (and for this type of episodes I wish I could've), it was an amazing reunion. The interactions between Sarah & Rose are really entertaining and it deepens The Doctor's relation with his companions. And now we got Mickey as companion! Cool, interested to see where his character goes.

A great episode setting up for the finale and the villain. The Master is incredibly entertaining even if it's kind of goofy sometimes, it adds a lot to the plot and his dynamic with The Doctor was something really necessary to his character. Saving my thoughts for the finale.

Such a fun episode! Really liked it, specially thanks to the come back of Jack Harkness, a character that I'm so glad to see again, both with his wit and silver tongue intact. All of Rose's mentions were great, and it was really fun to see Jack's reaction to this new Doctor. Other than that, the premise itself is really good, seeing the end of the universe and a setting that not any other Time Lord has go that far, and the final plot-twist...! So, so good! I was really excited to see a major villain that isn't a Dalek or a Cybermen out of the catalogue, and I really hope The Master delivers as a nemesis for The Doctor, because a great, singular viillain is what I have been needing from this show from some time now.

Oh, yes! Donna Strikes Back! Such a fun episode! God, I loved it. I was waiting to see if Donna appeared again, because she had such a good chemistry with Tenth in the S3's premiere that I couldn't fathom the idea of the writers just wasting the characters in a one-off episode and nothing else, but I'm so glad she became an official companion! Loved her a lot in this episode, and her reunion with Tenth was so so fun! The episode in itself is fine but it's so interesting to see Tenth & Donna's investigations collide like the cat and the mouse, it was so cool! AND THAT FINAL CAMEO?! ROSE FREAKING TYLER?! I WAS GIGGLING SCREAMING GASPING I SAW THAT BLONDE HEAD BEFORE EVEN THE REVELATION AND I WAS LIKE "nah it can't be..." BUT IT IS AAAAAH. I don't know if this will mean something or if it's just a simple cameo but I wish we got more of these kind of fanservice-y scenes where we just see the older companions cross paths with the Doctor on occassions, like they're still living their every day lives and I imagine they even see what the Doctor is up to on the news, so the idea of them crossing paths with some other companion and not even realizing they're affiliated with the Doctor isn't that much of a stretch, isn't it? ANYWAYS AHHHH amazing first episode!

Such a cool episode!! I always love episodes like this, episodes that feature a little number of scenarios and seeing the protagonists trapped/trying to escape from a place. It's clautrophobic in the best sense of the word, which I guess it's what the writers intended. I loved the overall feeling of this episode and I'm sure it will be marked as one of my favorite stand-alone episodes of this season (and maybe of early Doctor Who, as well). Loved it!

A cool episode! I really liked the whole premise overall, specially the fact that we saw a kind of "mercenaries" or "police" species trying to catch a crook, it was a fresh breeze from the regular premise of Doctor Who, and seeing more of the world-building is great! I also like Martha Jones so far, although I think she buys the Doctor's shenanigans way too fast, unlike Rose who seemed a lot more skeptic at first, but it was cool even so.

I ended up liking it a lot! I think this episode delves a lot more into the Daleks & The Doctor's confrontation for both sides a lot more than the previous clashes. It's really interesting to see The Doctor trying to save and get a truce with the Daleks through Dalek Sec, and how at the end The Doctor pledges mercy for the last Dalek because he understands what being the only one of your race feels like. It's a really, really cool episode, I still think it should've happened a little far on the season (or atleast not this early after last season's finale), but it was good good stuff!

I liked this one! I watched this episode a while ago when I started the season (I'm currently on episode 7 when I'm writing this) so I don't have all of my thoughts as fresh as I had before, but yeah, it's nice overall, although I didn't understand the inclusion of Donna's character, because I liked her, had a fun chemistry with Tenth but ended up on seemingly nowhere...? I don't know if she'll appear again, but I hope she does because the build-up of her character as a companion was fun to see.

A fine episode... Hm. I like the Daleks a lot, they're probably the best villains in the series so far, but I feel they appear too much to feel them as a surprise or a threat. I may change my opinion in the future, but I feel it would've been better if we had some time to relax after their last big appearance in S2's finale. Atleast, they delve a bit on the Daleks conflict and character, specially when Sec talked to Diagoras, some of the most interesting Dalek scene since S1 imo. Other than that, the premise is interesting, pretty enjoyable and the last scene was exceedingly terrifying. I just think it would've worked better if used a little later in the series and not so soon.

Another cool episode! I'm really digging Martha so far as the Doctor's new companion, she's witty, smart, and her internal conflict regarding her feelings towards the Tenth Doctor is really nice to see. The episode itself is really cool as well, loved Shakespeare in this and how many callbacks there are to his works, specially when Tenth lets him "borrow" his own lines haha. A decent episode, all in all.

A decent "first" episode. Was eating while watching it and stopped the episode when I saw Cassandra. Nothing crazy but I liked Cassandra's conclusion, surprisingly. Intrigued to see what The Face of Boe's up to.

Decent episode. Enjoyed the plot despite not being something amazing, but I really love how much it feels like seeing these characters travel and stopping by different scenarios as if they were travelling around the globe.

A fun season premiere! The titanic setting was lots of fun, and it featured a really iconic and funny cast of characters, although I wished they didn't kill Astrid at the end, it was kind of predictable (what's with Tenth and having so many one-off companions?). I really liked seeing Tenth discovering little by little Max's plans with sinking the titanic, and although some scenes here and there were kind of goofy, it was really decent. It's really cool to see The Doctor alone sometimes, I wouldn't go an entire season with any Doctor going solo but it's interesting seeing him traveling alone sometimes. Also Copper was just such a sweet character man, I guess he doesn't appear again but I wouldn't mind it, loved him a lot!

I don't get why people dislike this episode that much. I liked it a lot! I liked The Doctor's change of attitude when he saw that Rose was affected by The Wire's abilities a lot, the scene where they mess with the sexist father is hilariously good (which, by the way, I'm surprised to see many people deeming Doctor Who "woke" nowadays when such scene exists so early in the show), and the setting is really fun to watch. It's not an exceptional episode, mind you, but is entertaining, funny and it personally hooked me, just like the average Doctor Who episode, so I don't see the disdain for this one in particular.

I don't see why so many people dislike this episode, maybe because of the Slitheens being kinda goofy? Anyways, I liked seeing more drama with Mickey & Rose's mother. Not great but decent.

A fun episode, the overall premise is really good and entertaining even if the main villain isn't really that much. I liked the conclusion and the conversation between Martha and her mom, it was both emotional and intriguing. I wish the pub quiz sections were a bit longer though, they were lots of fun.

A fine episode. The premise in itself is there, it's not that interesting, is predictable, and I feel like it goes straight to the point, with no much of a plot-twist or something interesting to say about the episode's villain or the situation. I liked the conversation between Tenth & Lazarus about immortality, and how we can see how much it weighes on Tenth's conscience to be such a long-lived being, which was pretty good to see! I also liked how this episodes resolved the main conflict between Martha & Tenth, and how Martha had the feeling she was never a companion but rather a substitue. Hope we see more of their dynamic proving that Martha, despite not being Rose, is as perfect as a companion as her.

Yeah, this episode is... Yeah. I can see why it's one of the most disliked in the whole show, way more with the infamous line of "She tastes like chicken"... It's a pity because I think the first cour of the episode was really good in my opinion, I liked seeing a group of strangers bonding over The Doctor sightseeings, and I loved to see how much The Doctor influences people all over his travels alongside Rose. The chemistry of LINDA is really well-done and the episode is fairly enjoyable despite not seeing neither The Doctor nor Rose for most of the run-time, and I think the episode should have stayed like that. After Victor appears, well... The episode gets more and more cheesy and less interesting. Victor as a villain is incredibly forgettable, the plot is pretty simple and the ending is surprisingly twisted. If the episode stayed like the first 20-or-so minutes It would be much better.
