DW: S08EP07 – Kill the Moon
Good evening guys,
we ant to talk about the best episode so far of Doctor Who? Okay the best episode in this season. I am totally in love with it. This episode makes everything right. It is a long time ago that an episode makes my cry like that. The idea is stupid and actually i don’t like the idea but everything is so good. Okay, just lets start with the episode.
The idea is that something is with the moon and to save the earth they want to blow the moon up. The only things i don’t like is that there are spiders on the moon and spider webs and of course the solution what happens to the moon – we talk later about that. The atmosphere is dark and really good. They have a few really good effects. It is fun to watch. The girl we met in the last episode (DW: S08EP06 – The Caretaker) have a part again. Clara wants the Doctor to tell her that she is special. Something the new doctors could do and do really often, but this Doctor can’t to it. So he takes the girl and Clara to a trip to the moon. Of course it is not so simple. The met a team that want to blow up the moon.
After the girl got attackt she wants back home. What i think is really relastic and important. Also important is that the Doctor don’t get it. Because all that don’t understand humans is the important think in this episode. He finds out that the moon is an egg. So the creature just starts to live. The Woman is afraid of what will happen to the earth and Clara just don’t want to kill a baby. That is an opinion that the girl also have. But the Doctor refuse to help. He is talking and talking and letting Clara stand there. He left them alone. The astronaut, the school girl and a teatcher to decide the future of the earth.
Clara wants to talk, to discuss but there are just going in circles. The astronaut just don’t want to take the risk. But this also means something else. If the blow up the moon and the Doctor will not be back, they will die there. When they get contact to the earth. Clara have an idea. She broadcast to the world and tells them how the situation is and that the should take out the lights when the creature should be killed and make the lights on when they want to let it live. We all know what the humans will decide. But it takes Clara and the girl really hard.
The astronaut wants to do it but in the last moment Clara and the girl try to stop her and then the Doctor is back and brings them to earth. So the can see the birth of this creature. Nothing happend to the earth. Also the creature let the a souvenir, a new egg.
That is not the end. Clara don’t understand what the Doctor had done. The Doctor talks about respect, and making decisions but Clara is just at the end. She feels left behind, alone, like dump little human, with no real importants to the Doctor. She never wants to see him again and she tells him that. That is such a strong scene.
What will we see next time?
