I love peace. So I was glad to see the Ice Warriors and humans eventually put their weapons down and find a sort of truce. Admittedly, quite a few Brits were smooshed into unfortunate cubes before they reached that truce, but hey, we got there in the end. And the Doctor was back to his … Continue reading 09.

08. The Lie of the Land (12 Ways to Show Kindness)
This episode was almost too relevant. Bad guys planting fake truths into the minds of the public hits waaay close to home. However, so much was on point: Peter Capaldi’s glorious hair, Pearl Mackie’s brilliant acting, MISSY (someone please get her a pony), and good ol' Nardy is growing on me more and more each … Continue reading 08.

07. The Pyramid at the End of the World (A Kind Monk)

How did they give the Doctor his eyesight back? I haven’t the slightest. The one thing I do know … Continue reading 07. The Pyramid at the End of the World (A Kind Monk)
06. Extremis (A Friend of Mine)

I’m using this as an excuse for having to watch it a second time to really get it, but let’s be honest, I probably would have needed a full second viewing even without … Continue reading 06. Extremis (A Friend of Mine)
05. Oxygen (Poetry is Thoughts That Breathe)
This episode was beautiful. I’ve really been loving this whole season, and Oxygen just might be my favorite so far. It was a fast-paced thriller with a heavy side of feelings, and it didn’t let up from the tragic opening scene to the finish. Along with taking on futuristic space capitalism, the Doctor saves Bill … Continue reading 05. Oxygen (Poetry is Thoughts That Breathe)
