One of the best episodes so far!

Great episode! Loved how he delved into the story and the meanings hidden within. James Rolfe, whether intentionally or unintentionally, makes a great case for the argument that a video game could be considered art in this episode.

Personally, this is my favorite episode of this great show. Not only is it a wonderful celebration of the longest running sci-fi show in history, but it stands alone as a phenomenally written and acted 90 minutes of television entertainment.

I'm not going to give away any plot details, if you've watched through Series 7 you have as much idea of the plot as you need. Suffice it to say, this is a paradigm-shifting episode. Steven Moffat could have easily just written a 'tribute' episode to celebrate the 50th anniversary, but he didn't. This is a riveting story that changes the entire direction of the show in an unexpected way.

And of course, it's wonderful to see the beloved 10th Doctor back in his pin-striped suit. David Tennant looks as if he never left, and his banter with Matt Smith's 11th Doctor is fantastic. There are some laugh out loud moments.

But the real hero of this episode, in my opinion, is Clara. Now that her 'mystery' from Series 7 is solved, she is finally able to break out and come into her own as a character and companion of the Doctor. Jenna Coleman is a great actress, but she really wasn't given much to work with as Clara in Series 7, and because of that many labeled her character as 'useless' and 'boring'. Not anymore.

If you are a Doctor Who fan, this is a must own. Happy 50th Doctor, here's to 50 more!

Great episode.  It really gets you think about what humanity really is.  Much better than Star Trek Into Darkness.

i have to say i was leery about season three when i heard mandy patinkin was leaving. but my fears were for nothing. season three is probably my favorite yet. it has many strong episodes, tries new things (true night, one of my favorites) and gives us a peek into garcia's life in several riveting episodes.

i don't care about rossi the way i cared about gideon, but he's a good character and i'm glad he's not a carbon copy of jason. the team works together very well and season three shows that cm is more of an ensemble show now...which i very much enjoy.

as usual, cm has excellent supporting actors in every episode, riveting story lines, and makes fantastic use of background music choices. i can't wait to buy season three, and i'm looking forward to season 4. season three is especially worthwhile to see how much doctor spencer reid has changed and grown from season one. highly recommended.

imo, the best season 3 eps are:

in birth and death
scared to death
7 seconds
true night
lucky
penelope
third life
damage
higher power
elephant's memory
tabula rasa

This series improves with each book... and after the gut-wrenching story here, I can't wait to see what is next. This episode has everything that you've seen earlier in the way of action and characters, but this one has an emotional impact that leaves you stunned. Brilliantly written - and most complimentary, the most difficult scene was handled so expertly when it could have been R-rated or worse. No doubt about my reading the entire series. Really, really great stuff.

I really liked this episode. As a long term fan of TBBT I've always enjoyed the Sheldon and Penny episodes. I love Penny's development, as she and the other guys mature their relationships get deeper. Penny and Sheldon have always had this weird bond and I liked seeing it in this episode.

Another fantastic episode of The Guardian adventures.

The Crulla are starting to spread out and harvest more humans.  Amy and David have gathered a group around them of soldiers, computer geeks, hackers and even an FBI agent to find out more about the Crulla and how they can defeat them.

This episode as always was read in one sitting, I could not put it down.  This is a wonderful adventure to look forward to as each episode comes out. Do yourself a huge favour and get them all.

I love this show! I'm so exciting to see the new episode each week! I missed an episode so I had to buy it because I didn't want to see the new episode if I had missed one.  I think this whole season is worthy of purchasing!

This is hands down one of the best episodes of the Supernatural series!!! Jensen Ackles plays paranoid & scared to perfection. The scene at the locker cracks me up every time!!! And the "Eye of the Tiger" clip at the end has me on the ground laughing...and I have seen this episode at least 15 times. It is a must-see!!!

I never saw these episodes as I mostly saw season 1 episodes. These episodes were very good. The final episode was a fitting episode dealing with a very tough thing that kids have the toughest time with. I would highly reccommend.

This one picks up exactly where the first episode left off, so if you try to read them out of order, you're going to be woefully lost.  Patrick attempts to adjust to life in Healing while still hoping he can salvage his career in Atlanta.  Will then takes the poor man to meet his in-laws, at which time even *I* begin to hope that Patrick can salvage his career.  What a supportive and loving mother and uncle - not!

The truly redeeming features of this episode are Wills youngest siblings, his grandmother, and her companion.  Smart, engaging, and adorable, they each make Patrick feel at home and welcomed.  Additionally, we begin to get a sense of the kind of person Will actually is when hes not acting like a middle school-aged child, and its much better than I thought he would be.

Ryan is still a grade-A schmuck, but he clearly falls into the role of emotional abuser.  While the continued whining about missing Ryan bothered me, the well-established role that he has been placed into by his family and his ex demonstrate a clear case of abuse, enough that Im willing to wait Will out.  Surely hes going to discover what a treasure he has in Patrick...right??

There is a rather obvious snafu in this episode - one of the many stepdads, and father to Connor, Roger, is listed as being a relatively standup guy who visits Connor regularly.  Unfortunately, the first episode has Roger having been found in the YMCA pool, drowned, potentially as a victim of Tony.  Oops!

Fantasy Island Season Three begin in slow fashion with the first several episodes, however by episode # 6, things begin to improve.  It is episode # 7 which is titled "The Wedding", that the series hits a grand slam home run.  This episode, which is a rare single guest episode, is a sequel to the Season Two episode # 8 titled "The Return".  This episode # 7 was definitely the best episode of Season Three and one of the best of the entire series.  The episode begins with Mr. Roarke greeting Helena Marsh, who is his great love and has returned to Fantasy Island to marry Mr. Roarke.  Helena Marsh is played by the beautiful Samantha Eggar.  This episode moves "Fantasy Island " from farcical to serious entertainment in one giant step with this sensitive and sad story.  As the wedding preparations begin, we find that Helena is dying and after she marries Mr. Roarke, they move to their special part of the island for the remaining days of her life.  At very near the end of the episode, Helena dies touchingly in Mr. Roarke's arms and the episode also ends touchingly with Helena's funeral which is full of the love they felt for her.  The performances by both Samantha Eggar and Ricardo Montalban were superb and sensitive and the episode was well written.

This episode # 7 by itself makes this DVD set worth the selling price, and there are many more good episodes in the set.  I very strongly recommend this DVD set for those who love great entertainment.

Don't let the fact that this episode was taken from the excellent Original Series episode "The Naked Time" fool you!  This is the funniest, and I mean, FUNNIEST, star trek episode of all time, with phenomenal acting involved from all cast members.  The limerick Data gives to Picard about the person from Venus having a big you-know-what is TIMELESS!  Being such a huge Captain Picard fan, his acting in this episode made me think to myself, "Was he on drugs before he read the script?"  Superb acting!
For example, just look at the scene where he and Dr. Crusher are in the ready room discussing the virus and those infected.  When Picard and Crusher get really close to each other face-to-face, I MUST ASK YOU ALL THIS QUESTION:  what is the sound Picard makes coming from his throat???  You actually see his throat move a bit and something like "huhuhuhuhuhu" comes out.  It can't be a laugh because it's misplaced.  The sound just doesn't fit there!!  If anyone can give me a reason for this, I'd LOVE to know!
The only other episode that can compare with this episode is "Chain of Command Parts 1 and 2."  Just listening to Picard screaming out, "THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS!" is hysterical!  When he gets shocked by the implanted device is also quite classic!
All in all, "The Naked Now" ranks NUMBER 3 on my Top 10 TNG Episodes, right behind "The Best of the Both Worlds" and "Chain of Command."  TERRIFIC!

Another great episode in the series. I really like the character development over the series and the introduction of new characters keeps the plot fresh and interesting.

Loved this episode. It was....what's the word I used? Oh yeah...AWESOME!!!

Best episode in the series. One of the best in episodic television, period.

The songs moved you, meant something (the lyrics were substantive, emotion-filled, were in-synch with both the characters and what the characters were going through at the time...and rhymed to boot!) and were well paced, crafted and executed. The actors really put their all into it and did an EXCELLENT job. From giles and amber benson's great vocal performances to Sarah M.G.'s dancing at the end. It was just...great. Vocally- Amber Benson stole the show...too bad mr. whedon repaid her by killing off her character a few episodes later!!!!!!!(thank you joss...NOT!!!) Giles can REALLY sing as well..I mean..he puts it down. Everyone does a great job and j.w. really put in work with his lyric authorship.

BTVS pulled off quite a coup with this one!

The team is separated, and the characters need to figure out what their priorities are.

This episode is packed with explosive action, and psychological torment. Basically, my favourite kind of story. We're learning a lot more about the ever-present countdown and those behind it. And this is one of the things that I really like about the story, is the villains have a purpose. A noble purpose, even. They're certainly not going about it in the best of ways (if there is a best way), but you can almost sympathize with them.

And this is really the only time that a cliffhanger ending is okay. I might not have agreed with myself back when the series was incomplete. I might have torn my hair out. But the series is done now, so I don't need to wait. I'm going to jump right into the final episode with both feet and get carried along for the ride.

You should come on the ride, too. This series is too good to miss!

Absolutely incredible.  Ranks up there with the best episodes I've ever read.  Can't wait for the next one but I can't see how it could possibly beat this one.
