Doctor Who Story 258 – The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion

The Zygon Invasion I like the UNIT crew, so I’m going with this. I’m annoyed at how they completely ignored the actual resolution in the 50th anniversary special. At least they’re doing that now. 20 million is a lot of Zygons. Why is the Doctor playing guitar? Where is the teacher to protect these children from the weird man? This show really likes the American southwest, and I have a feeling it wasn’t actually shot in the US. WOOT! I was right, it was Spain, on an island called Fuerteventura. Oh my! That’s Nicola Murray from The Thick of It! Oh, Capaldi needs to swear at her. Have him stand… Read More »Doctor Who Story 258 – The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion

Doctor Who Story 257 – The Woman Who Lived

*gasp* it’s some highway robbery! Me is an interesting idea. I just don’t look forward to how it ties into Clara’s story. A woman who can’t remember her life is interesting. I like Capaldi’s hatred of banter.

Doctor Who Story 256 – The Girl Who Died

I kinda feel like the entire teaser nothing happened. I think Odin watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I like the Doctor’s nicknames for the Vikings. Oh, they’re not robots. Yay! He’s reversing the polarity of the neutron flow.

Doctor Who Story 255 – Under the Lake/Before the Flood

Under the Lake I remember this episode sucking, and already it does. This episode is making me hate Clara even more than I already do. The cards are a nice touch. Is his name really “Pritchard?” Before the Flood Why is he breaking the fourth wall? Wow that whole Beethoven speech was terrible. Okay, I like the lady who is giddy a out it being bigger on the inside. Stop saying the Doctor dies when we know he doesn’t. You keep doing this and I’m so tired of it. Ugh! Doctor Who is so bad.

Doctor Who Story 254 – The Magician’s Apprentice/The Witch’s Familiar

Prologue More talk about death, blah blah blah blah blah. No one’s going to die. I wish they’d kill Clara, but they won’t. The Magician’s Apprentice That’s very low tech… with lasers. They keep saying “hand mine” like it’s a thing. I remember being intrigued that it’s Davros. And once again, news reports. These people are so excited to assume it’s hostile. We’re into the electric guitar phase… why. And sunglasses. Missy being offended that Davros is the Doctor’s arch enemy is fantastic. The Witch’s Familiar Missy is great. I like the different Dalek models. Missy is great. She really is the best part of Capaldi’s time. Missy is great!… Read More »Doctor Who Story 254 – The Magician’s Apprentice/The Witch’s Familiar

Doctor Who Story 253 – Last Christmas

Yay, more Christmas. Why is there never a Chanukah episode? Or a Pesach episode? Basically what I’m saying is not everyone is Christian. Are they not going to discuss Danny Pink and the Doctor thinking he’s back alive and in a relationship with Clara? Why am I watching a woman dance to Christmas carols? At least they brought Danny Pink back up, and the Doctor knows that he’s dead. Oh god, they’re doing that Christopher Nolan movie. Wow that old lady makeup is terrible. Oh that was stupid. If the Doctor can’t see age, it would have been nice to do this story with an old companion.

Doctor Who Story 252 – Dark Water/Death in Heaven

Dark Water Looks like they finally killed someone off… too bad it’s not going to last. Though Danny is the only one who isn’t terrible. Clara don’t be a shit and save your boyfriend’s life. Wow, Clara is an asshole. The fact that the Doctor continues travelling with Clara is ridiculous. He kicked out Sarah Jane for nothing, but now he lets Clara get away with this bullshit. Oh fuck you, Doctor. That squishing sound when she puts her fingers into the TARDIS controls. Hey, it’s him! I wish this was nearly as funny as Thick of It. That R roll is very Sylvester McCoy. Danny Pink, don’t be sad.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 252 – Dark Water/Death in Heaven

Doctor Who Story 251 – In the Forest of the Night

Is this the episode where Clara takes the kids on a trip in the TARDIS? If so, that’s horrible. Close the TARDIS door, Doctor! “Every communication channel on the TARDIS is open, yet nothing,” but we saw a news report. How are the traffic lights receiving power. The forest is mankind’s nightmare. The Doctor to Clara No, that’s alligators. Really? Trying to start a forest fire in the middle of a city with millions of people? Are they that stupid? How is this forest so dense without population, they’re in the core of London. They shouldn’t be able to go more than a few metres without hitting a building. Are… Read More »Doctor Who Story 251 – In the Forest of the Night

Doctor Who Story 250 – Flatline

I don’t remember anything about this episode. Don’t trust the Doctor to be able to get you back to where you want to go! “This isn’t Croydon.” Doctor, open the other half of the door. Why is Missy using an iPad?

Doctor Who Story 249 – Mummy on the Orient Express

Taskmaster star Frank Skinner!!!! Flapper outfits suck They’re like paper bags. This is a fun episode. The jelly babies in the cigarette case are classic. I like Frank Skinner telling off the Doctor with sarcasm. Stop teasing me Clara and making me think that you’re leaving the show. Just go, we don’t want you.
