Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes to War (2011)
A very well done episode with some small glitches
The idea that an extraordinary conditions could trigger extraordinary behavior in one good man is very good. It is almost a new idea for the serial. The conceptual season interconnection is also very good idea.
But the increasingly frequent occurring ideas like the ones below deteriorate the qualities of the movie: 1.The doctor does not know what to do and feels helpless and passive 2.Gay relations are perfectly normal 3.Characters keep finding more and more child-parent relations among them 4.Bad characters are extremely stupid 5.Some characters claim had met the doctor, but were never seen before
Good luck with the remaining series
Blake's 7: Blake (1981)
Unconvincing Series Ending!
It seems to me that the producers and script writers were bored to death from the 4 years of "Blake's 7" production and made everything possible to take revenge in that episode. They got all characters in front of the wall and punished them with death for all the headaches through the years. Even worse - they discredit most of them before that. It seems that all previous heroes had been degrading to killers and stupid shouting order-giving psychopaths. Avon kills Blake just for fun ... shooting him 3 times? ... Why not 5 or stubbing him with knife at the end? It seems that in that episode all characters were under drugs .. may be from the planet atmosphere ... In my opinion that is not logical, or convincing, or the smart way to end all.
Battlestar Galactica: Revelations (2008)
Base milestone in the story - Almost all old cards revealed - Earth found! But what happened on it?
The performance of Michael Hogan (Colonel Saul Tigh) in this episode is admirable! May be his character is the most consistent one in all episodes and one of the best if not the best. No contradictions, no chaotic changes in any character aspect - definitely convincing! The scene with both friends (Adama & Tigh) divided by Tigh's revelation is very strong! I hope they will find a way to overcome it in the next 10 final episodes! That just question makes them worth seeing! I'm looking forward to that! There are other interesting questions to be answered too: Did the other cylons come on Earth first and devastated all, or people died long before that? Are there any survivors left on Earth? Who is the 12th cylon? Baltar or Roslin? I hope script writers won't mess up things at the end and spoil the film.
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
Very good film searching answers to many philosophical questions
The film in my opinion is a very good hybrid between old (original) "Battlestar Galactica*" and Ridley Scott's "BladeRunner*".
As a Blade Runner fan I like the ideas in film like "Do a creator has the right to create conscious beings?", "Do the creation has the right to ask explanation from it's creator?", "What makes us human?", ...
There are more film links: 1.Olmos is Adama in BSG* and Gaff in BR* 2.Terminology like "skin jobs".
Although the film is very good I feel that somehow the cylons' motivation is not clear. What they want? Human annihilation(extinction)? Or playing cat & mouse with humans till the end of the humans? Finding Earth? Human superiority recognition? ... Or they are just confused machines acting chaotically?
