Doctor Who: Turn Left (2008)
Season 4, Episode 11
9/10
Wow, what a tie-in
7 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
There are only weak spoilers here because I make a few vague references to the 4 new seasons as well as other tie ins and a few rumors and such.

This episode brings back material from all 4 of the new seasons. This is another episode from a different character's perspective...and it works. As the name implies, we see what would happen if one event changed just a little bit. Seems simple enough, but as with many seemingly innocuous events...little did s/he (want to keep the sex of the character out so I'm making it ambiguous) that that upon that one decision would hang the fate of the universe...

You'll get more out of this episode if you've watched all 4 seasons. You'll also get more if you have followed Torchwood as there is another tie in. Something from the first season that I felt was left hanging is brought back to finally bear fruit.

If you go searching on the net for rumors and summaries and such, and you listen to interviews with D.T., it really leads to a possible multi-year cliffhanger - that's a guess, I really don't know as of this writing.

I don't want to write any more because I would hate to give it away anything that would ruin your experience, but bravo.

I have the next two episodes to watch and I really need to go to bed, and I'm only just going to manage.
