The new episode was OK. It was setting up a lot of threads for later, and didn't explain a lot. As for the TARDIS exploding, I assumed it was to get rid of the Doctor. The Universe ending just happened to be an unexpected side effect.

Meanwhile, on the review side, I failed my goal of uploading all S1 revies before Saturday, on account of me being busy.

S1 E7: The Long Game- 07/05/05

In the far future, the Doctor encounters a future different to that which he knows...

Plot
The Doctor takes Rose and Adam to the year 200,000. They land on a space station broadcasting news via brain implants. The news turns out to have been manipulated by a blob (the Jagrafess) and the mysterious editor. They and some person they meet blow up the blob and go go find Adam. Who downloaded all of 200,000's data into his 2012 answerphone. The Doctor dumps him at hope, destroys his answer phone and leaves him with a brain implant. The Doctor and Rose then leave for their next adventure. Overall the plot isn't bad, but it lacks, especially compared to last weeks episode. It feels more like an episode of the old series, but without a second parter to finish up. 5/10

Character
This episode feature development for no regular characters. The Doctor learns about choosing his companions carefully, but that's about it. 3/10

Scare Factor
There's a freaky bit when the brain opens up, but not much else. 5/10

Bad Wolf Watch-Bad Wolf TV (The Face of Boe is pregnant???)

Overall
The last epsiode of the new series I ever had to watch, I hadn't been missing much. This episode could easily be skipped, if not for it tying in to something else...
