Doctor Who - R7.09 Hide

Clara and the Doctor try to discover the cause of the haunting of Caliburn House.

Seven out of ten.

Seriously, "Hide" hasn't been used a Doctor Who episode title before?

"Every lonely monster needs a companion" - wasn't that essentially the lesson of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors?

Doctor Who - R7.08 Cold War

Clara and the Doctor end up in 1983 aboard a Soviet submarine which has an Ice Warrior aboard.

Seven out of ten.


Doctor Who - R7.07 The Rings of Akhaten

After the Doctor investigates Clara's childhood, Clara and the Doctor visit The Rings of Akhaten.

Eight out of ten.

Doctor Who - R7.06 The Bells of Saint John


The Doctor searches for Clara Oswald as select human minds are being uploaded via Wifi.

Seven out of ten.

I rather doubt there is a British 24-year-old alive who doesn't know about the Internet.

Doctor Who - R6.12 Closing Time

The Doctor visits Craig and his infant son and discovers something unusual going on in their neighbourhood.

I liked Craig with the Doctor, but I still wasn't sure what the Cybermen were doing there in the end. How many times will the great Doctor Who villains be defeated by love? First the Daleks and now the Cybermen?

So what has the Doctor been doing for the last 200 years? A two century good bye tour?

I think knowing the Doctor is going to die is starting to bore me, especially after it was the theme of the last Tenth Doctor specials. Maybe they should try to surprise us with the ending instead of letting us know ahead of time. I've been avoiding spoilers lately, but I feel like the show itself has been spoiling me.

Doctor Who - R6.11 The God Complex

Amy, Rory and the Doctor become trapped in a hotel where the rooms contain each person's worst nightmare.

After this episode, I just feel mildly ripped off that I didn't find out what was in the Doctor's room.

Oddly, I don't feel that bad about Amy and Rory's departure from the TARDIS except for the fact that Doctor tends to become unbalanced when he travels by himself. You'd think the Doctor would know that by now, that he needs a companion, that the best way to keep everyone in the universe safe is to have a companion, even if he keeps losing them. He should just consider it the lesser of two evils. I'm actually kind of hoping for a regeneration soon as I'm not that crazy about Eleven's persona or companions at this point.

Doctor Who - R5.03 Victory of the Daleks

The Doctor and Amy visit London during World War II and meet Winston Churchill who is planning to use Daleks to win the war.

Daleks serving tea are just creepy and wrong. I'm not crazy about the primary-colored Daleks though.

Eight out of ten.

Doctor Who - R5.02 The Beast Below

In the 29th century, Amy and the Doctor visit the Starship UK after the earth was evacuated.

I lOved that Amy spent the trip in her nightgown, the dressing room and Liz X.

Seven out of ten.

Timelords came before humans.
