Doctor Who

I really wish I could come up with intelligent and meaningful reviews of Doctor Who


Stephen Moffat has been king of Doctor Who writers ever since Blink so I was really looking forward to this episode.

It did not disappoint.

It was creepy, not at scary as Blink, but creepy enough for it to be exciting.

I have loved Alex Kingston since she was in Moll Flanders many years ago so I'm thrilled to see her on TV again. Can't wait to see what the story with her and The Doctor is.

Donna can't be dead obviously because isn't there supposed to be an episode at the end with her, Martha and Rose? Anyway, so not buying it.

So, yup, liked it. So much better than The Unicorn and The Wasp or whatever that crap was the week before last

Ach! Cliffhangers! I will fret all week.

Clearly she's not dead yes, but still I shall fret until I find out what happened to her.

Loving the doctor's future relationship plotline. David and Alex are playing it brilliantly.

And nothing, NOTHING could be scarier than blink.

Hehe! I'm not fretting, just wondering.

Blink and The Empty Child

It was wonderful, best episode this season, and up there with the best. Looking forward to next week. We need more writers as good as this!

Yeah, I would say overall this series has been the best one

The computer (Cal) said it saved everyone, but there were no survivors.

She archived them as they went through the teleporter, saving them from the shadows

Ahh! Yes, that makes sense. You are smart!

[notsowise-sage.livejournal.com]

It just made sense, especially once her face was on the avatar thingy

Yeah I got that right away myself! I mean, it's so computery. "Saved" lol.

I am a thicky. LOL!

[salymander.livejournal.com]

LOL, no I don't think that!




But, didn't the meta-ness of the show bug you a bit? I felt like any moment we were going to have The Doctor look at the camera and wink. But I might just be sore because I hate waiting for two-parters.

I didn't find it overly meta. What do you mean?

[salymander.livejournal.com]

I'm tired, that might not be the word I'm looking for. I mean the ep referenced being a tv show a lot. Sorry, might just be me.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Have to say I didn't really notice

This season there seems to be a lot of emphasis on the Doctor with family--a daughter, the constant jokes about Donna being his missus, and now someone who is obviously there for him in the future.

The Doctor's loneliness has always been a given part of his character. I can't think the writers are giving that up without some grand plan.

Didn't the original Doctor travel around with his granddaughter? Maybe Alex will turn out to be the daughter of the daughter that was just created a few eps back. Though that isn't what the writers are intimating.

It's going to be interesting to see what they come up with. As you say, I'm sure there's some sort of grand plan building up
