Doctor Who Review: A Song in Trenzalore

Well, they sure tricked us all with the title of this episode, didn't they? We didn't learn "The Name of the Doctor" but with the return of the much beloved River Song, she was able to use it to open a secret passage to his tomb to save the lives of his friends. So much happened and we finally learned the fate of River and a bit more information on The Impossible Girl, Clara Oswald. Let's dive into The Doctor's life path, shall we?

It was such a fun catch how they imported Clara into scenes featuring The Doctors of yore. They didn't return, per se, but were included in the episode in a way that allowed an explanation as to why Clara was the Impossible Girl. Exactly what an Impossible Girl is, we don't know, but my supposition is she's been the silent companion of every Doctor all along.

She's the whisper in his ear when he has one of those break-through moments that makes him spin in a circle as if a light bulb has gone off in his head. She keeps him on the right path to ensure his safety and sacrifices herself again and again to keep him alive. Just as there have been many Doctors, there have been many Claras, but they have lived a combination of real and invisible lives.

Our current Doctor, the Eleventh, was the first to see her and bring her into his life. Kudos to Steven Moffat for bringing this story alive and for creating a history that made sense in the scope of the series from day one. It even explains why she remains her age in every incarnation, and why she came alive in the year she did, at the start of the series. I love the idea and I'm wondering when a new doctor is introduced how they will explain her away, should it come back to that. If Moffat is in charge, I'm sure it will be done stunningly.

The reintroduction of River Song into this episode and in the manner in which it was done was perfect. We finally learned why The Doctor can unashamedly have flirty feelings for Clara - because River is dead. Granted, in some timeline somewhere she was dead, but we know she died saving him and he created a perfect copy to save in a database. He doesn't like endings.

The easy friendship that formed between River and Clara was very welcome and I appreciated that River's love for and history with The Doctor wasn't forgotten or brushed aside. He loved her dearly and misses her still. However, he also knows she is gone and spent a good portion of the hour ignoring her to keep himself from pain. This Doctor Who quote surely had many swooning:

River: How are you even doing that? I'm not really here.
The Doctor: You're always here to me. And I always listen. And I can always see you.
River: Then why didn't you speak to me?
The Doctor: Because I thought it would hurt too much.
River: I believe I could have coped.
The Doctor: No, I thought it would hurt me. And I was right. {Kisses} Since nobody else in this room can see you, God knows how that looked. | permalink

River admitted she was sticking around because she hadn't had a proper goodbye. But before she left, she gave her own sort of approval stamp onto The Doctor moving on with Clara, should he choose to do so, by admitting if he were going to jump into his own timeline and break the paradox he might as well know that River was most likely still standing in front of him because she and Clara were bound together, and therefore, Clara was most likely still alive. Nice push, River.

The hardened Doctor that was around for the episodes that lead up to the changing of the guard and the retiring of Amy and Rory is hardly to be found in the one we watched tonight, who was willing to give up his life by visiting his grave at Trenzalore to save his faithful friends Vastra, Jenny and Strax and to jump straight into his own life stream to rescue Clara, who had spent many lifetimes doing the same for him.

When Clara mentioned Trenzalore the first time, the emotional range exhibited by Matt Smith, wiping away tears at the thought of what he must do to save those who had been so good to him and had asked no questions in return, brought me to tears. Every cast member was on high alert for the finale, and even Richard E Grant as the Great Intelligence, the one who needed The Doctor's name to try to rewrite his history and right what he considered all the wrongs committed by The Doctor, was a little less cartoonish than usual.

As for the Whisper Men, they were far more frightening than last week's Cybermen, instilling genuine fear as they scowled and growled ready to rip the hearts from The Doctor's friends. They were not dissimilar from Buffy The Vampire Slayers' Gentlemen.

The greatest reveal, it turned out, was not The Doctor's name, or that River was dead and gone, or that Clara was The Impossible Girl, a true companion of ever Doctor since they first existed. It was that The Doctor apparently hadn't always chosen the name, and in doing caused some serious damage....or something. I'm not quite sure. Clara had never run into him, and he knew of all The Doctors. The Doctor standing before them at the end was, perhaps, the Eleventh Doctor, name not chosen, as he would have been if he had taken a different course in life.

In movie style fashion, as actor John Hurt was revealed, he was also noted to be "The Doctor." That's the big surprise and set up for the 50th anniversary special that will air in November. November now seems a lifetime away. Who is this man and what will become of our Doctor? Will there be concurrent Doctors for an episode or is he the ghost of a Doctor that never came into being?

All I know is if the special is anywhere near as perfect as this finale was, we are in for one hell of a treat. What did you think of the finale? Did the explanation of Clara live up to your expectations? What about the grave of The Doctor? Was the swan song of River Song a fitting conclusion or do you expect to see her again? Let's chat about it!

I'll see you back here in November. Let the waiting game begin!!

Nikita Season Finale Review: Til Death Do Us Part or Not

Wow!

When Amanda threatened to kill Michael if Nikita didn't kill the President in last week's "Invisible Hand," I had no idea how Nikita was going to get herself out of it. No matter what decision she made, it appeared that Amanda was going to destroy her happiness and ultimately win. 

In that regard, the Nikita season 3 finale, "Til Death Do Us Part," didn't disappoint. Nikita and her supporting team worked to undermine Amanda, while her former mentor was confident that she had contingencies in place for any deviations to her plan. The race to the deadline to assassinate the President was intense, especially in regards to the personal sacrifices Nikita and Michael were willing to make to protect the other.

And there's where the finale left me frustrated. It made no sense for Nikita to take off at the end. None at all!

Saving Michael

Nikita continually put Michael ahead of herself and was willing to kill the President to protect him. When she revealed Amanda's plan, Michael told her that his life wasn't worth her sacrifice and the President's life. After their confrontation, the only reason he agreed with Nikita's continuation of the plan was because of Alex's suggestion they could decontaminate him and take away Amanda's leverage.

With Nikita still on task, she gave them the time necessary to save them all. Nikita recognized that was the only way and told Michael, "If you want to save me. Save yourself." At that point, the mission changed from a suicide mission to one with hope for a happy resolution for them and the President. Plus, Alex's speech about how Amanda was wrong about loved ones being a liability should have kept her there. Given these interactions and her love for Michael, it didn't make any sense for her to run.

Yes, Nikita's been a loner for most of her life. She started out a rogue agent on her own trying to take down Division, but that's not Nikita now. Once she recruited Alex to help her, everything changed. The Nikita of today is in love with Michael and loves her new family of Alex, Birkhoff, Ryan and probably even Sonya given her relationship with Birkhoff. She's no longer alone, she has a family. Why would she turn her back on them and take off?

Her belief that they would be better off without her is misguided, she should understand that running wouldn't protect them. They love her enough to not only look for her, but to continue their investigation into the Shop and why the "President" killed herself. Without their help, Nikita would have pulled the trigger and killed the President. So, why leave? It seems very out of character for her.

Poor Michael was left heartbroken, but he won't give up on her. He'll chase her to the ends of the earth, while trying to clear her name. 

Despite my dismay at the conclusion, it was otherwise an outstanding finale. Amanda and the Shop did have contingencies in place to guarantee a successful completion of their plan. The President was killed. Even though Nikita didn't pull the trigger, she's being held responsible for the President's assassination. They weren't entirely fortunate though. They underestimated Nikita's survival instincts and instead of having a "dead assassin scapegoat," they have scapegoat on the run.

The best reveal was the brilliant shocker that it wasn't the President that was killed in the Oval Office, but an impostor. The Shop abducted the President during the G-20 in Toronto and is holding her for an unknown purpose. Why do they want her, especially when the world believes she's dead? 

The idea that the President could be replaced with no one the wiser would have seemed absurd, but Michael did the exact same thing with the President of Belarus using advanced mask technology. And, since she was an impostor, Amanda could have used her mind intrusion methods to plant a suicide trigger.

With Amanda and the Shop set up as the big bads for the shortened season 4, there is still time for Nikita and Amanda to have a final face-off. Whatever itty-bitty amount of sympathy that Amanda gained by revealing her torturous youth is gone. She's beyond redemption and as long as she's alive, she will manipulate and hurt people.

I hope Nikita returns to the family of friends that love her and allows them to help clear her name. If she doesn't right away, then I want her to track down Amanda and get revenge for herself and everyone else that the witch has hurt. With the remaining six episodes not on the CW's schedule yet, it's going to be a stressful wait for Nikita's conclusion.

Odds and Ends

  • Where was Owen?
  • Nikita: If I fail, there won't be any reason to live. | permalink
  • Alex and Michael ambushing Nikita was awesome and unexpected. Birkhoff is a god when it comes to hacking communications.
  • Sterling's willingness to help the Shop kill the President was telling. He didn't do it for the money, but for a cause. What is the "noble" cause that they are fighting for? Is there any possibility that they are doing the right thing?
  • The Shop Leader may be utilizing Amanda's abilities, but he doesn't trust her and he recognizes her obsession with Nikita. Good call to not let her in on Michael and Alex's knowledge of Nikita's predicament. 
  • Michael's decision to lie about the antidote was noble. He understood that his life was not worth that of the President's or Nikita's sacrifice.
  • I never tire of seeing Birkhoff get his fight on and firing a gun now. He gets very riled up.
  • Amanda's Dirty Thirty attack was crazy. It was horrible to see them almost win. Alex, Birkhoff, and Ryan were saved by the return of Nikita. She's invincible, isn't she?
  • The "killing" of Michael was a nice goodbye to Division. He's now been killed and resurrected like a Division recruit. He's comment when he was revived was hilarious given he had just been dead, "All of you went through that?"
  • The end was heartbreaking -- to see someone so fierce crying uncontrollably. Wow. Why did Nikita leave if it hurt her so much?

How I Met Your Mother Season 9: Cristin Milioti Upped to Series Regular

From five-second cameo to series regular...

After her brief, albeit VERY memorable, guest-starring turn on the How I Met Your Mother Season 8 finale, Cristin Milioti has been promoted to series regular for the ninth and final season of this beloved CBS sitcom.

Cristin Milioti on HIMYM

As first reported by TV Line, Miloti's ascension marks the first time HIMYM has expanded its core roster beyond Josh Radnor, Alyson Hannigan, Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders and Jason Segel.

Look for her to play a critical role this fall, as How I Met Your Mother creators have said Season 9 will actually take place over the course of Barney and Robin's wedding. That ought to be interesting.

New Series Showdown: Hostages vs. The Blacklist

Upfront Week has come, gone and left millions of dazed TV Fanatics in its wake.

With a slew of new programs headed to your television this fall - from dramas to sitcoms, superheroes to hostage takers - it can be confusing to decide where your priorities lie. So let's take a look at some of the more intriguing head-to-head battles, shall we?

In this first new show-down of the 2013-2014 schedule, we focus on Monday nights at 10.

NBC will counter with The Blacklist, in which James Spader plays a bad guy who works with the good guys to capture an even worse bad guy (TRAILER).
