A Place For Your Inner Geek
Well here something special. Last week we had the creepy but fairly standard fair of Night Terrors. This week we get something... A little different. It starts of with a standard idea; an alien planet, with an alien virus. Both ideas in this case, twisted. A virus that would only kill the Doctor - giving us what could well be this years equalivant of a Doctor lite episode? With the action concentrating on Amy Pond - but with Rory being given some of the best scenes. The alien planet with the dual time streams, is the driving force of the episode supplying the emotional force behind the plot. The second time stream giving us two Amy Ponds, giving us an older jaded hurt Amy, and giving Arther Divil possibly his best scene in Doctor Who: "I do not want to travel with you" Some emotional chats later... We have the two Amy's together with Rory racing back to the Tardis. A scene giving us some heart stopping moments with young Amy collapsing, and Rorys choice... "You're turning me into you" A simple and possibly cheaper episode, giving us a reminder of how dark and manipulative the Doctor is, and Rorys anger with him...
