Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited


First I would like to apologize for my tardiness on this review, but my laptop took a crap on me.
So as for episode 10, for me it was a relief after Night Terrors. For the second time there was two Amy's in one episode, and that is always a plus. I love watching her confront herself, it's always entertaining. But I did feel for Rory in this one. Once again the Doctor is late getting to Amy, this time many years too late, leaving her fighting for her life alone for over thirty years. However they are able to find Amy from the proper time, but Rory is faced with choosing which one to save. I wouldn't want that decision. Luckily with another lie from the Doctor, and some rapid soul searching by older/tougher Amy, the decision is made for Rory, and the old Amy is lost forever - well wiped from existence really. Amy may never know everything, but Rory will, and that would be hard to live with.

Torchwood Miracle Day Episode 10



What... What... What? I'll tell you what... best Torchwood ever, that's what.

Jack, Gwen, Oswald, Rex, and Ester zeroed in on the 'Blessing'. The CIA headquarters gets blown up, and Jack's blood can reverse the blessing, but it has to be introduced into the blessing from both sides at the same time. No problem if Jack's blood that Rex and Ester had been caring around wouldn't have been blown up too. But Rex and Ester are the clever little duo, they transfused Jack's blood into Rex. Of course Ester gets shot in hopes they will not stop the blessing to keep her alive, but Gwen makes a rather moving speech, and Jack and Rex sacrifice themselves to bring mortality back to Earth. Guess what? They both live, and Oswald plays the hero and blows himself up along with one of the heads of the three families. Rex takes out another before collapsing. Unfortunately Gwen's father dies, and so does Ester. Yes, just as Gwen so elegantly said: "Death has come back."

After Ester's funeral the team talk about if they are going to keep Torchwood together, but before the question is answered Rex receives a text revealing the identity of the mole. When he tries to stop her, she shoots Rex in the chest, and then is shot down herself. Jack and Gwen comfort Rex as he dies in their arms, but just as Jack says that he is gone, Rex takes in a deep breath (much like Jack). Yep, that's right. Looks like Jack isn't the only immortal on Earth any more. The show ends with Rex say to Jack: "What did you do to me?"

Well Torchwood fans looks like we might have another season yet.
