Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited (2011)
Brilliant
Series six of Doctor Who is perhaps one of my favourites and after the whole River Song business halfway through and the disappointment of 'Night Terrors', this simple stand alone episode of Doctor Who is definitely worth watching. It really shows how much Amy and Rory care about each other and the lengths that they are prepared to go to in order to save each other. The Doctor although absent from most of the physical stuff is certainly well used and it's also good to see how he watches on and is emotional to see how he has to lie and make bad choices that will allow good things to happen. For me, this is the most emotional episode of Series six and will always be one of the best episode in its history.
Though I am still wondering how Amy mastered Gallifreyan technology and made her own sonic probe.
Doctor Who: Vincent and the Doctor (2010)
A Highlight
When I first saw this episode, I was 9 years old and I hated it. I thought that the story was boring and it was hard to keep focus and that the monster was a complete letdown. Now at a slightly older age, I am beginning to see why it is so Treasured. And even though a giant killer, invisible rooster isn't exactly the most menacing of threats, Vincent, The Doctor, Amy and even Dr Black make up for it by creating a moving episode that some could call a tearjerker. (Stupid term, I mean people don't actually have the tears ripped out from their eyes do they?) It managed to make me feel something, Happiness, which is a massive plus side seeing as I love and favour the more heartfelt and depressing ones. It actually made me smile at the ending. I smiled because of sheer it's level of bleakness. I'm not sure that everyone will think that that's a good thing.
Doctor Who: Last Christmas (2014)
Dream Crabs
My favourite Christmas special yet. And it has creatures called the Kantrofarri in it. Or...THE Dream Crabs. I had far more many favourite moments than with any other Doctor Who Christmas special, such as the scene somewhere towards the middle with the manuals and the page numbers. It was Humorous and entertaining and the only one moment where the episode went downhill for me was that pathetic flying sledge scene but I didn't hate it enough to lower my overall score for this episode. And of course another favourite point for me was of course...The Dream Crabs Who look like facehuggers and yet have an entirely different purpose. Nick frost as Santa Clause was great as an edgier and angry version of the Character, successfully managing to avoid almost all of the Typical Santa Clause clichés and even though I knew why his character was in there, I still did find it just a little bit random. But for the most part Last Christmas is my favourite Christmas special yet.
'Every Christmas Is Last Christmas' And of course, beware of the Dream Crabs for they may still be on Earth and they may be many in their number...
