The Zygon Inversion – S9E8 – Doctor Who
The second part of the Zygon storyline was definitely better than the first. Perhaps most importantly it had one of THE most epic monologues by Peter Capaldi! Like so…

It’s probably easy to explain our slight ambivalence to Episode 7: The Zygon Invasion with the knowledge that the Zygons are our least favourite of the Doctor’s intergalactic enemies. Not…
Really sorry for being so far behind in my Doctor Who reviews but will do my best to catch up quickly! A continuation to the Girl Who Died, we find…
The Girl Who Died strands the Doctor and Clara in a Viking village facing the Mire, and ends with a choice that makes a young girl immortal.
Before the Flood opens on Beethoven and the bootstrap paradox, then brings in the Fisher King, one of the best monsters of the Capaldi era.
Under the Lake traps the Doctor and Clara in an underwater base full of ghosts that kill, in a slow episode rescued by a cracking cliffhanger.
Lets start with the positive on this episode as it must be said, there were some misses, but still quite a bit to like and while this episode was not…
Loved it, loved it, loved it! Many girlish squeals of joy also! 🙂 Now that we’ve got that out of the way, lets get down to it shall we? There…
Last Christmas puts Santa, his elves and some very creepy dream crabs into a Doctor Who Christmas special, and it’s one of the best the show has done.
Death in Heaven ends series 8 with Cybermen in the graveyards and Missy loose. Fitting but depressing, with a couple of bits that jarred for me.
Dark Water kills Danny and finally unmasks Missy, but for me the creepy 3W skeletons can’t save a dishonest volcano twist and a messy finale opener.
In the Forest of the Night covers London in trees overnight. Breathtaking to look at, sharply written, but one Doctor Who fairytale too many for me.
Flatline shrinks the TARDIS, hands Clara the Doctor’s job and fills the walls of Bristol with the Boneless. The creepiest Doctor Who in years.
Mummy on the Orient Express puts the Doctor and Clara on a space-train with a 66-second killer, and it’s the most satisfying episode of the season.
Kill the Moon puts Clara, Courtney and the Doctor on a 2049 moon base with a bomb and a vote, and a script stronger than its science.
The Caretaker sends the Doctor undercover at Coal Hill for a funny sitcom hour, but the Skovox Blitzer barely registers next to Danny and Clara.
Time Heist is a great Doctor Who heist caper, but the time travel gets in the way and the Doctor and Clara get lost behind their guest stars.
Doctor Who Listen starts as pure bedtime horror, then tangles itself in time travel. Here’s where Moffat’s mix of scares and Gallifrey lost me.
Robot of Sherwood sends the Doctor and Clara to a Robin Hood who shouldn’t exist: a clever, funny one-off, with robot knights and a spoon fight.
Into the Dalek is a tight, satisfying Doctor Who hour with a Fantastic Voyage twist, but the Daleks end up as props.
I’m a bit behind the 8ball with regards to my Doctor Who reviews (and blog updates in general to be honest) so many apologies for that, but unfortunately – life…
