DOCTOR WHO SERIES 7 REVIEWS

THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE

Okay. Suddenly the last nine hundred years of time travel seem a bit less secure.

ASYLUM OF THE DALEKS

Fellas, you’re never gonna stop asking.

DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP

Enjoy your bounty.

A TOWN CALLED MERCY

Oh, I know exactly what you are. And I see this reformation for what it really is. You committed an atrocity and choose this for your punishment. Don’t get me wrong - good choice. Civilised hours, lots of adulation, nice weather. But...but! Justice doesn’t work like that. You don’t get to decide when and how your debt is paid!

THE POWER OF THREE

Because you were the first. The first face this face saw. And you were seared onto my hearts, Amelia Pond. You always will be. I’m running to you, and Rory, before you fade from me.

THE ANGELS TAKE MANHATTAN

Hello, old friend. And here we are. You and me, on the last page. By the time you read these words, Rory and I will be long gone. So know that we lived well and were very happy. And above all else, know that we will love you always. Sometimes I do worry about you though. I think once we’re gone you won’t be coming back here for awhile. And you might be alone. Which you should never be. Don’t be alone, Doctor. And do one more thing for me. There’s a little girl waiting in a garden. She’s going to wait a long while, so she’s going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she’s patient, the days are coming that she’ll never forget. Tell her she’ll go to see and fight pirates. She’ll fall in love with a man who’ll wait two thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she’ll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived. And save a whale in outer space. Tell her, this is the story of Amelia Pond. And this is how it ends.

THE SNOWMEN

It’s called the TARDIS. It can travel anywhere in time and space. And it’s mine.

THE BELLS OF SAINT JOHN

Did you even hear the word, anti-grav?

THE RINGS OF AKHATEN

Okay then. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgment. All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing? Oh you like to think you’re a god. But you’re not a god. You’re just a parasite. Eat now with jealousy and envy and longing for the lives of others. You feed on them. On the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow, so… so come on then. Take mine. Take my memories. But I hope you’re got a big a big appetite. Because I’ve lived a long life. And I’ve seen a few things. I walked away from the last great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space. Just me! I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman! And I watched universes freeze and creation burn! I have seen things you wouldn’t believe! I have lost things you will never understand! And I know things, secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken! Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze! So come on then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!

COLD WAR

Where is the honour in condemning billions of innocents to death? Five thousand years ago Mars was the center of a vast empire, the jewel of this solar system. The people of Earth had only just begun to leave their caves. Five thousand years isn’t such a long time. They’re still just frightened children. Still primitive. Who are you to judge them?

Well. Hello again, you old Romeo, you.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE TARDIS

What are you, eh? A trick? A trap!

THE CRIMSON HORROR

To find him, she needs only ignore all Keep Out signs. Go through every locked door, and run towards any form of danger that presents itself.

NIGHTMARE IN SILVER

Impossible girl. A mystery wrapped in an enigma squeezed into a skirt that’s just a little bit too tight.

THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR

But not in the name of the Doctor.

SERIES 7 REVIEW

Series 7 is a much more consistent series of Doctor Who over the previous one, however, it is consistently good rather than spectacular.

SERIES 7 EPISODE RANKING

A lot of decent episodes, but not a lot of great ones. This might make for interesting reading.
