Wow!
For me last night's Dr Who was the first one of this series to hit all the right Dr Who buttons. What a fantastic idea to see the Tardis take shape and come to life, to start to get an idea of the relationship between the Tardis and Dr Who. And I really loved the thought of the Tardis having chosen the Dr right from the start to give her the chance to explore the universe.
There were wonderful reminders of the essential loneliness of both the Dr and the Tardis too - each of them now the last of their kind, with the Dr seeing the bodies of timelords past in Auntie and Uncle and the Tardis seeing a graveyard of her kind, where the Dr saw opportunities.
This time around the hints for the future (the only water in the forest is the river?) was a nice touch to keep the undercurrent moving throughout each episode. I guess it was also nice to see that Amy really does love Rory (but isn't he a robot?) and the bunk bed touch was fun too.
It showed Matt Smith off as a great Dr (come here you scrumptious beauty) and had a suitably wicked and never seen alien - always the best sort!
Great stuff and well done indeed.
(But I guess I should also say that neither Sue nor Daniel were that impressed!)
Interesting...
ReplyDeleteI didn't like it all, though my boys did - Joseph in particular. I did get the comment about the only water in the forest being River. Joseph seems to get all the clues and I think he is getting fed up trying to explain it all to me!
PS I agree - Rory is a robot, isn't he?
