Doctor Who – Series 9: Final Thoughts

Posted on December 6, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

If Series 8 was about the Twelfth Doctor settling into his freshly regenerated skin and establishing who he truly was as a man, Series 9 sees him much more comfortable and just getting on with life as a wandering Time … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 12: “Hell Bent”

Posted on December 5, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

As I watched the introduction where the Doctor finds Clara in an American diner, I thought this would be the epilogue and the rest of the episode would be ‘how we got here’. Turmed out, it both was and wasn’t, … Continue reading →

Posted on November 22, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

(Warning: spoilers) “The Defence Department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.” – Goose, Top Gun So, let’s start with the biggie. From what I could gather on Twitter, many people were anticipating that this would … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 9: “Sleep No More”

Posted on November 14, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

For a ‘scary’ episode of Doctor Who, this one certainly has a tantalising opening with comments like “You must not watch this” and “Pay close attention; your lives may depend on it.” Giving each crew member a survival rating – … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 8: “The Zygon Inversion”

Posted on November 7, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

As this episode began, I feared we were about to face another Forest of the Dead/Last Christmas style setup with Clara in a dream world she can’t or doesn’t want to wake up from – but no, she figures it … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 7: “The Zygon Invasion”

Posted on November 1, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

To be honest, I like Osgood well enough, but I’m not such a big fan that I was particularly bothered by her apparent death last series. However, explaining her apparent death with the fact that there have been two Osgoods … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 6: “The Woman Who Lived”

Posted on October 24, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

As we open, we already know the highwayman is Ashildr of course, and we’re just left wondering why she has a man’s voice. She has a great attitude in this scene though, and even her dialogue in the Knightmare voice … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 5: “The Girl Who Died”

Posted on October 17, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

The dramatic already-in-the-adventure beginning may not have occurred with every Moffat episode, but certainly enough for us to be adjusted to it – and the Doctor and Clara’s casual treatment of it afterwards feels typical as well. So the theme … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 4: “Before The Flood”

Posted on October 10, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

As in Listen, the Twelfth Doctor kicks off by giving exposition to nobody in particular, though it’s still a great scene. And you start thinking how his talk of the bootstrap paradox will pay off later – and then you … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 3: “Under The Lake”

Posted on October 3, 2015 by R.J. Southworth

So early on, we can recognise the stupid business-minded character, plus the tomboy, identifiable by her sleeveless vest and cap. Clara saying “I want another adventure” seems like a bit of self-awareness again, as the audience themselves may well be wanting … Continue reading →
