Wed 25 October 2006 - Doctor Who 2006: the second half
Here’s my quick reviews of the second half of this year’s Doctor Who. (First half here.) Some spoilers for people who haven’t seen it. (Les, this means you.)
The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit — Terrific stuff. The tension in the first episode was fantastic, especially when the beast was stalking the archeologist. Scared the crap out of me. Loved the ending. Trivia: Voice of the Beast was done by the same guy who did the voice of Sutekh (also a manifestation of the Beast) way back in 1975.
Love & Monsters — Some people in fandom hated it, but I quite enjoyed this episode. A very quirky story, and I reckon a bit of a piss-take on the fans. And yes dammit, I do like a bit of ELO.
Fear Her — A couple of amusing bits, but ultimately a light fluffy episode that didn’t challenge the braincells too much. (more…)
