Doctor Who - Closing Time Review

I have to admit.

Theres a reason why it took me a while to write this.

I wasn’t sure what to say about this.

On one hand. You have the plot. As far I know, the plot of any story is meant to be the driving force through the storyline. The plot in this case was basically: Shop is built on top of a dead cybership, Cybermat wakes up and gets power for the cybermen. Cybermen wake up. Cybermen get blown up by love.

Now if James Cordon was still plugged in when the Cybermen started to have issues… I think I would have been more ok with it. I think.

So plot wise. Rubbish.

But, I’m not sure if this was about the plot. Was it more about the little moments?

Little moments like, The Doctors dark moody walk back to the Tardis, The Doctor talking to the kid in the bedroom, The father / son bonding, and not forgetting, “shhhhhhhhh”.

The last episode before the Doctors “death” looks at the little moments, rather then the big picture. Something feels so underwhelming but so right about it all.
