S1 Ep 12- Bad Wolf: 11/6/05

The Doctor gets zapped into Big Brother where he discovers that his actions may not always lead to brilliant results.

Plot
We start with the Doctor falling into the Big Brother house, where he immediately sees someone evicted, and by evicted, we mean 'killed'. Rose ends up on 'The Weakest Link', and soon, after a hilarious first round, discovers the same thing, while Jack gets naked on 'What Not To Wear'. The Doctor soon escapes the house along with Lynda (it has a 'Y') when evicted. It is revealed to him that he is on the Bad Wolf station, AKA Satellite 5, which the Doctor shut down 100 years ago. Turns out taht, with no news, people start inventing evil game shows. The Doctor realises that, if he ended up in the game, he needs to find Rose before she dies. He teams up with Jack, who escaped by pilling out a pistol he had on him (while naked?) and his new gun, built out of the defabricator. They arrive at thge studio just to see Rose get zapped. Great timing! Upon being arrested, they immediately escape and go up to floor 500, where we meet the controller-a pale woman wired into the systems. Jack finds the TARDIS in archive 5 (it's out of bounds) and works it all out- the disintegrator 'killing beam' is actually a transmat (teleport in non-technobable). A solar flare hits, and the Controller starts talking to the Doctor, and gives him co-ordinates. The Solar Flare passes, but she keeps talking about her masters and gets transmatted. The Doctor cameras the location, and it turns out to be empty. Until he stops the concealing signal, when a Dalek ship is revealed. Many Dalek ships. 1000 Dalek ships. The Daleks contact the Doctor and the Doctor gives a BADASS speech, and goes into spoilers. The episode ends with thousands of CGI-Daleks swarming into space. Overall this episode is enjoyable, with a fast-paced plot and some dramatic moments (Rose being shot). 8/10

Characters
This episode isn't really built for character development, being the first of a two parter, but shows how devastated the Doctor can be when his companions 'die', and how vengeful he can get. 5/10

Scare Factor
Nothing that scary. The controller being exterminated is a small bit, but is easily overlooked. 4/10

Bad Wolf Watch- The Bad Wolf Station

Overall
This is an enjoyable, fast-paced episode with a lot going for it. Plus it's the series finale, which is always worth a watch. Tune in next time for the epic conclusion. (we promise it will be action packed and not half about a woman pining). 8/10
