Face the Raven is the 10th episode of the main run of Series 9. It is the first part of a three part final. It features a reappearance of Rigsy, Ashilda, Ood, Judoon, Cybermen, Silurians, Sontarans and Ice Warriors. It also features the death of Clara Osworld, who has been a companion since 2012.
This episode had a good idea and Clara's exit had such a big impact because it was done in a less epic way to usual, however it was not unexpected to me but many non-whovians, who did not watch the Graham Nortern Show would have been surprised.
Doctor Rating
12th Doctor: 10/10
Top acting from Peter Capaldi and he was written very well.
Companion Rating
Clara Osworld: 10/10
Jenna Coleman has really started to become Clara, shame that this was her final appearance.
Enemy Rating
The Raven: 8/10
A Good idea about an animal that eats souls through time and space but it was a raven which isn't the most scariest thing in the world.
Story Rating
Story: 8/10
Scariness: 6/10
Seriousness: 9/10
Humour: 7/10
Continuity: 7/10
Total: 37/50
The reason why Seriousness didn't have a full 10/10 is because it was not very serious until the end. Continuity, was graded lower than expected is because although they had many past enemies the cybermen being there made no sense especially when he was being chased by the raven.
