Somehow we've had a series with no bad episodes and now they've gone and ruined it.
|
I've just finished watching the previous two episodes at the time of writing this and the forest one was terrible. I hated children in Doctor Who before, and I hated them in
In the Forest of the Night. I understand that they're trying to appeal to a younger generation and by having so many children interact with the doctor it leaves an impressionable mind open to the belief that something amazingly similar might happen to them, but they're doing it wrong. The way they did it with young Amy Pond was right.
"How do we find 'x'?"
How do we find a screwdriver to correctly perform a transnasal craniotomy to escape that stupid cutaway.
As for
Dark Water the only thing keeping me going throughout the episode was the promise of cybermen and even that flopped. I feel like the last thing a person who's partner just passed away due to being hit by a car, is stand in the middle of the road. Though maybe the wall of post-it notes somehow told her the clusterfuck of events that were about to happen and she decided to end it right there. Clara going against the Doctor was the best part of the episode, and one of the best scenes in the series so far.
Oh and I'm pretty sure I had an aneurysm at the Steve Jobs line.
