Doctor Who: Series 4: The Unicorn and the Wasp
In-brief: Brilliant!
In-depth: And we’re back on form again! Quite simply, this episode was firing on all cylinders from the onset. I don’t know if it’s the period setting, the writers’ strength, the familiarity with the central historical figure, or just damn good comic timing, but this episode is another example of how I’ll be able to quite happily just watch one episode after another of this series when it is released on DVD.

Doctor Who: Series 4: The Doctor’s Daughter
In-brief:
Something to chew on… but not as much as it wants.
In-depth:
This is the first episode of series 4 I’ve had some serious doubts about. After last week’s cliffhanger of sorts, I felt sure that this week would prove to be a real fantastic romp of an episode.
But it’s hampered by an extremely slow start, an initially confusing design for an alien creature and the very title of the episode itself, is never really encapsulated upon to my tastes.
In nuWho, the Doctor is a solitary figure. He’s absolutely alone in the sense that he knows that he is the Last of his kind. So whenever he gets a whisper of possibility that their might be others’ of his species’ still kicking about, he gets very, very scared. And very protective.
But we’ve seen this before in the Master. Despite everything the Master did in the last three episodes of Series 3, the Doctor still found it within himself to grieve, to suffer, to cry, at his eventual death.
Or ‘death’. But that’s another story. On another forum.
Review. So if you’re going to tap into that idea of the Doctor not really being alone, you’d best do something damn different with it.

Has Battlestar Galactica Lost Its Way?
The following article contains spoilers for up to episode 4.05 of Battlestar Galactica.
Coming into the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica, I had high hopes. The sublime season finale, and standard of the season which preceded it offered a great deal of excitement and promise for the final year. However, five weeks in, and I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.
If this were any year other than the closing season, the negative aspects of the last few weeks could probably be over-looked. After all, it’s not that the show is bad; far from it. Galactica remains, behind ‘Dexter’, one of my favourite shows on television. The acting is still top-notch, as is the style of production and the intensity of performance on the screen. So where’s it gone wrong?
