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.

Doctor Who Story 246 – Time Heist

Let her have a date. I love a good heist film. This isn’t a good heist film. Poor Capaldi, lifetime Doctor Who fan, finally gets to be the Doctor, and his episodes are terrible. At least he’s great.

Doctor Who Story 245 – Listen

The Doctor’s been traveling alone for way too long. I really don’t get this Clara/late-Amy trend of the Doctor traveling alone and popping into his companions’ lives every once in a while. Mr. Pink seems great, but it’s creepy that Clara met him as a child. Also, don’t fucking lie to a potential love interest. We’ve already been to the end of the universe. Oh his name is Orson? I thought he said “awesome.” That was bad. We go through that whole episode and nothing… nothing.

Doctor Who Story 244 – Robot of Sherwood

I do enjoy that Peter Capaldi is really annoyed at Clara for wanting to meet Robin Hood. See, Capaldi is great. “Do people punch you in the face when you say that?” The Doctor doing Venetian Judo is a nice throwback to a Doctor whose costume is very Pertwee. The pouring of molten metal is very poorly done CG. The Doctor cheating at archery is great. It’s better when Worf smashes Geordi’s lute.

Doctor Who Story 243 – Into the Dalek

Oh it’s Zawe Ashton from Fresh Meat. Capaldi is a good authoritative Doctor. Mr. Pink is hot. Clara should totally get some! I forgot about the whole “am I a good man” theme during the entirety of Capaldi’s era. It’s really obvious that the Doctor is not a good man. I wish I was watching Innerspace instead. Now I just want more Martin Short. How does Dennis Quaid get top billing?

Doctor Who Story 248 – Kill the Moon

Apparently Courtney is not special, but Rose Tyler is? 2049? We’re back on the moon? Nice! Clara should be fired for letting Courtney ever enter the TARDIS. And if the Headmaster knows about the dangers of the TARDIS, then he should have a stern talking to the Doctor. The spiders are from Mars, not the moon. Why is Clara still travelling with the Doctor? He’s an outright asshole to her.

Doctor Who Story 247 – The Caretaker

You need to tell your boyfriend, Clara. David Tennant got to be a teacher, Peter Capaldi fortunately gets to do the more important job, custodian. I think this is the episode that made me love Capaldi as the Doctor. Robots! So if Ian Chesterton is the headmaster in Coal Hill, why haven’t they had him come and find the TARDIS? Aww, she loves Danny. Capaldi is great. Courtney, aka Disruptive Influence, would have been the best companion for the Doctor.

Doctor Who Story 242 – Deep Breath

I remember watching this in theatres, and being bored with it already. Though Strax is great. Okay, but I really enjoy Peter Capaldi. I hate the new opening. It looks like a cartoon. Why does Clara not understand regeneration? Is Capaldi going to spend most of his first episode in bed? Why do I like aliens not understanding humans so much? There’s not enough Strax in this episode, because everything else is not that interesting. The whole story about Clara not liking regenerated Doctor is bullshit, and horrible. Why would she care when this is after the interaction between Clara and all the other 10 Doctors. I really think Matt… Read More »Doctor Who Story 242 – Deep Breath
