My thoughts on... Amy's Choice

My thoughts on... Amy's Choice Now then, onto one of the most underrated episodes of Series 5 (yes, I said it.) Amy's Choice. I have seen that many people have different views on this episode, some good and some bad. My opinion on it is that it is a very good episode. So, let's start off today's review: Many of the things I like about the episode is The Dream Lord. He was such an amazing villain as I really enjoyed the concept of him being a reflection of The Doctor, even though we only discover this until the episode ends; it's a nice twist. Amy and Rory are also a very intriguing part of this episode. I feel that this episode gives us an idea about what their life is like without The Doctor and the fact that they have to choose between worlds is a very important part of the episode as Amy has to decide for a world without Rory or a world with The Doctor in The TARDIS. As well as having a very emotional feel to it, it also introduces the amazing old people aliens.

My thoughts on... Vincent and The Doctor

My thoughts on... Vincent and The Doctor     Well, this is me. I'm back for one very special review. Today, I will be sharing my thoughts on the greatest Doctor Who Historical of all time, Vincent and The Doctor. So starting off, One thing this episode does so well (not the monster or the artwork) is the portrayal of Vincent's mental health. This is clear throughout the episode and I think having the sense of the monster does distract way from this but in a good way. It shows how mentally disturbed Vincent is and I think that how The Doctor tries to help him is so brilliant and is something The Doctor maybe hasn't done before. Other aspects of the episode is that Vincent is not a fan of his work himself and doubts his ability, not knowing how recognisable he will become. Also, other parts of this episode I found enjoyable were the locations as they represented the time period so well and the artwork was spot on. And now, to one of the greatest scenes in the history of Docto

   WHO FAN SITE REVIEWS: SERIES 1 EPISODE 6: DALEK Now then, onto a slightly late review of Robert Shearman's Dalek. The episode starts off very well; with The Doctor and Rose in an alien artefacts museum. Some unexpected cameos from a Slitheen's arm and a Cyberman's head were unexpected but quite nice. We also get to see a cameo of Bad Wolf on the aeroplane flying over the sort of Military base, we then lead on to a shot of Henry Van Statten with his team, with this one shot I can already tell he's going to be a good, exciting character. I really liked the scene in Van Statten's office where the two collectors, The Doctor and Van Statten meets, Rose's line about the testosterone was extremely funny and never fails to get a laugh out of me. But then, when Van Statten mentions his 'Metaltron' we all know what's coming. One of the more dramatic scenes in the episode, full of tension; was when The Doctor went face to face with the Dalek for the first ti

  WHO FAN SITE REVIEWS: SERIES 1 EPISODE 5: WORLD WAR THREE Rating: 9.5/10 Now onto the second part of quite a strong Doctor Who Story. Here's what I think: It started off really well by revising the cliffhanger we ended on in the episode beforehand, showing viewers that The Slitheen really will do anything to kill The Doctor. I then really enjoyed the chase throughout Downing Street, ending with The Doctor cleverly entering the lift to escape. It cut to different perspectives of the characters: i.e. Mickey, Jackie. The Slitheen were also very good shapeshifters in this episode; at one point I didn't even realise the Policeman was a Slitheen. I think it also showed the consequences of travelling- when The Doctor says "I could do this, but I'd lose you." Jackie being on the phone also made it harder to watch. When they eventually blew up Downing Street, their hiding spot was very clever (in the cupboard). Now then, the weak points of the episode: Like last time, Th

WHO FAN SITE REVIEWS: SERIES 1 EPISODE 4: ALIENS OF LONDON Rating: 9/10 Now then, straight onto one of the weirdest Doctor Who two parters of the Nu-Who era. Although some may consider it as an episode only worth the meme quality but I think it introduced some really interesting new aliens which sadly weren't in the series that much. I also think it handled the issue of the dangers of travelling or, in Rose's case: Travelling through Space and Time. I think a really powerful scene in the episode was when Rose arrived home and went to see Jackie, her mother and the shock on Jackie's face at her daughters return was very natural acting from Camille Coduri. I also enjoyed the cameo of future Torchwood character Toshiko Sato and the space pig was just pure brilliance. Harriet Jones was also a strong character in this episode because of her bravery when she decided to just go off with The 9th Doctor and Rose. As well as being quite gritty and hard hitting, this episode did have

  WHO FAN SITE REVIEWS: SERIES 1 EPISODE 3: THE UNQUIET DEAD Rating: 8.5/10 Now onto the first historical episode of Nu-Who, The Unquiet Dead. I actually really enjoyed this episode because it had a great scary, eerie feel to it with the Gelth. Also, I think this episode did really well sort of introducing Russell T Davies' Torchwood with Gwen Cooper (or Gwyneth) in this episode, who would later appear in hit Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood. Charles Dickens was portrayed marvellously by the brilliant Simon Callow, really showing Charles Dickens full life story. I also remember being really scared by the old lady Gelth and the scene when she smashes the Coffin lid open and escapes was really chilling. By now though, I have looked back at this episode and noted that there were a few flaws: The lack of Rose and The Doctor exploring Victorian Cardiff was not present but I think that when they met Charles Dickens, it really changed the way of the story and I really enjoyed the scen
