Hey Guys,
i am really sorry but i had no time for any Doctor Who thing this weekend…i was like a walking dead after all that Party and working so early and only getting two hours sleep. But now we can talk about the new episode. Like you will think i always have something negativy these days. But for the biggest part i was satisfied and really nostalgic. Let’s beginn to today with the start.
The starting point
The episode starts totally out of nowhere. The Doctor is holding a monologue. Yes Capaldi is great in it but i really dislike this beginning. In the end there is a connaction but this connaction doesn’t make my satisfied. I don’t know why because this is the big question that troubles me in most time travel films. But the way it is acted… like he is talking to us. The way all this plays out… i just really dislike it. I don’t have a better explaination.
Emotions over Emotions
I love emotions and here we have more than enough from it. Clara who can’t excapt that the Doctor has to die. She needs him. After Dannys death she built her life around him and that is not going to end well. One of the best parts was were Cass is asking Clara if the travels with the Doctor changed her or if she always bring everyone in danger. This is a good question. When we look at Clara, we see her not really emotional apart from the Doctors death. She has no problem send Lunn out in the danger. When she goes talking to Bennett he is talking about how much more there is in the world as if it matters right now.
Sacrifice
Bennett is the best thing on the episode and we need so much characters like him on the TARDIS. People who see the real face of the Doctor. Someone how goes against him. He reminds me a little of Hex. His girlfriend died so the Doctor can be sure of the meaning of a message. He isn’t ready to risk anything for her but everything for Clara. Clara and the Doctor are seeing people who died has a nessassary sacrifice. All this people had to die so he could save Clara and understands what is going on.
How far has the Doctor fallen from were we were at the beginning with the ninth Doctor. But truth be told that is why i love Capaldis Doctor. The Doctor isn’t the hero. He never was. It was always the people beside him. Just now is traveling with himself and he really don’t want Clara to be like this. But he can’t do anything against it.
