Care for me to explain why?, you ready for this review then let's get started with ofcourse the positives
Pauline Collins as the Queen was a great casting choice, probably one of the best casting choices in any show. When she spoke she had so much expression on her face and you could see she was trying to put on a good performance, and she succeeded in that. Her facial expressions really made her performance that much better and her line of delivery was absolutely perfect. This is good because of her on screen presence, and her performance is Solid. A supernatural tale about Nuns and the hostile women really made this one a threat, being with the Supernatural Wearwolf with no help really adds to the threat of this story. The design for 2006 standards is pretty good in my eyes. I also love anything that deals with Supernatural spirits and stuff like that so that is probably why it gets a 7 and not a 6, bummed the rating up a bit because of my love for Wearwolfs and the Supernatural. The Set up for Torchwood right at the end is good as well because we got set up and then got pay off, so it felt like a completed story by the end. 'Enuff' twists and turns to keep the audience engaged and interesting. The new entirier design for the TARDIS is also really cool, and maybe even better then the first Siries.
The Negatives
The Doctor and Rose aren't as good of a duo as Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper's on screen chemistry was so well crafted within the stories making Siries 1 a completed siries, this could be to do with the writing. The story did brush aside some elements it could of touched on, like why the Nuns were there and why they wanted to kill the Queen. The Nuns seemed to really only be there to trap people and let the Wearwolf out, which was a bit of a shame. They don't really get much to do. How the Doctor Kills of the Wearwolf seemed unsatisfying with the fact it was killed off via a Telescope, it just seemed rushed. One of RTD worst written Episodes.
So now time for my Verdict,
Rating:7.5/10,Fresh Score:75% Certified fresh.
