RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘The Doctor Falls’ (Series 10, Episode 12)

“There were undoubtedly niggling problems with this finale, but overall it was a strong, penultimate outing for Capaldi’s Doctor.

RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘World Enough and Time’ (Series 10, Episode 11)

RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘The Eaters of Light’ (Series 10, Episode 10)

“Yet again, ‘The Eaters of Light’ was another paint by the numbers offering. That’s not to say that there wasn’t a good deal of merit to the episode. There absolutely was, as Matt Lucas finally got material befitting his comedic timing, and Who veteran, Rona Munro, delivered some cracking lines of dialogue.” Our Recap and Review of the generic tenth episode. … Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘The Eaters of Light’ (Series 10, Episode 10)

RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘Empress of Mars’ (Series 10, Episode 9)

“Yes, ‘Empress of Mars’ was an improvement on last week’s offering. You could even go so far as to say it was fifty minutes of ridiculous fun, which it was.

RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘The Lie of the Land’ (Series 10, Episode 8)

“Sadly, at times, this ‘Monk trilogy’ has been a bit of a disjointed mess. In their own way, each episode could have been fleshed out and their chief ideas stretched out to span all three episodes. It doesn’t help that the ‘central conceit’, the fact that The Monks are a formidable enemy that even The Doctor would struggle to beat, just didn’t ring true.” Our Recap and Review of a disappointing 8th episode.… Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘The Lie of the Land’ (Series 10, Episode 8)

RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘Extremis’ (Series 10, Episode 6)

“Yes, ‘Extremis’ was needlessly complicated. Yes, you could see Moffat’s hands all over it from the vantage point of Space. And, yes, the big reveal regarding who’s in the Vault was rather anti-climactic. Nevertheless, there were still things to like about the episode, even if it’s execution didn’t necessarily hit the mark.” Our Recap and Review of the problematic 6th episode.… Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘Extremis’ (Series 10, Episode 6)

RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘Thin Ice’ (Series 10, Episode 3)

“Gone are the days when Ten and Eleven could barely acknowledge the number of casualties they caused on Gallifrey. Twelve not only recognises the blood on his hands, but tries to move on, even if that seems unnecessarily cold to human ears. The difficult conversation with his newest companion about the bodies that are littered around in his 2000 year lifespan further helped to flesh out Capaldi’s incarnation, and reaffirmed his alien nature, even if he looks increasingly like a benevolent Grandpa.” Our Recap and Review of a ‘punchy’ 3rd episode.… Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘Thin Ice’ (Series 10, Episode 3)
