Doktor Who - Série 6

Prequel + The Impossible Astronaut (6x01) + Day of the Moon (6x02) 5/5: Excitingly exciting, surprisingly surprising, cleverly clever, disturbingly disturbing. Simply ugh... No matter how dark and mature the modern Doctor Who was, they were always more of an exception in the otherwise, in the best sense of the word, family movie. At the beginning of the new series, it surprising became almost the new X-Files. What is also new is the fact that T this time the connecting storyline doesn't have only supportive role for the grand ending, but everything has been centered around it from the very beginning of the series. Moreover, backed by The Suits, which have inverted concept of the Weeping Angels, even the conspiracy plot is suddenly so much more disturbing than if made by some "old acquaintances". Anyway, if I watched it, I would never forget... Um, what was I talking about? Prequel + The Curse of the Black Spot (6x03) 3/5: Alexander "Lord Grantham" Hemala and the Pirates of the TARDIS versus the siren. Now everyone can see through how the things are going with the ghosts, werewolves or vampires in the world of Doctor Who, so you may expect the change how it works, at least in the case of sirens. They didn’t. They did quite the opposite when they followed a path of a rather mediocre variation of The Doctor Dances final scene. Indecisiveness doesn't help either. It’s not clear whether the main focus is on the Doctor and his companions or the captain and his son. And both story line are negatively affected by it. Bad Night 4/5: Goldfish, annoying fly, and the salvation of the Commonwealth, at 3 a.m. The Doctor's Wife (6x04) 5/5: - You didn't always take me where I wanted to go. - No, but I always took you where you needed to go. There are so many ideas and themes that it would be enough for one whole season and there would even be something left for the next one. As a result, most of it just fade away without any impact. However, this does not mean that it is not a memorable episode. On the one hand, there is a phenomenal old-world meta-sequence when they are running along the corridors, and above all there is the Irdis/TARDIS. Despite the fact that the footage has only 20 mins, the creators managed to make a living person so convincing that the chemistry between him and the Doctor does its job so well that the ending is more touching than anything in the modern history of the TV series. Good Night 3/5: Self-encouragement. The Rebel Flesh (6x05) + The Almost People (6x06) 4/5: Do duplicators dream of electric sheep? It is fully understandable why they chose not to capture it as a one episode movie, on the other hand, there's not enough content for two episodes, so as a result there is a lot of padding and the movie just keeps running back and forth. Prequel + A Good Man Goes To War (6x07) 5/5: Where the first episodes of the sixth season reflected the best of Act X, then there this epic space opera episode reflected the best of Star Wars, including that final variation on "I'm Your Father, Luke". Especially the introductory, teaser part completely without the Doctor is worth highlighting. Prequel + Let’s Kill Hitler (6x08) 4/5: Firstly, "Hitler in the Cupboard" would be a more apt title, and secondly, given that it's a copy-cat mix of the "Hamster in a Nightshirt" and "Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea", so it only proves and confirms that Miloš Macourek could have been a genius showrunner for Doctor Who. Night Terrors (6x09) 4/5: We're answering a cry for help from the scariest place in the Universe... A child's bedroom. First Night + Last Night 5/5: It´s so good that it would even work as a regular episode and not just as a mini-episode for fans. The Girl Who Waited (6x10) 5/5: Chasing Amy² with kindness. Heartbreaking; however, in the first half it was sometimes too lengthy. The God Complex (6x11) 3/5: Undoubtedly, they could have gotten more out of this variation of the Shining which, of course, doesn't mean they did a bad job. Up All Night 2/5: It is unnecessary also considering the fact that it is only a padding mini-episode. Closing Time (6x12) 2/5: Unbearably messy, stupid, silly intrusive and annoying. The only thing which prevents if from getting even worse rating are the final 5 minutes which is setting a stage for the end scene. Prequel + The Wedding of River Song (6x13) 3/5: It’s something completely different than you might have expected after watching everything that preceded throughout the whole season. I’m not pointing out that it’s more in a "Davies" style rather than in "Moffat´s" but viewers were simply deceived in a big way (and it's not just the ending). But at the same time, there is no denying that it is fun and if looking back at it (if you know the grand ending of the eleventh episode), it's smarter than it originally seemed. Prequel + The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (6x14) 4/5: See profile of the special. Pond Life 4/5: Nice, funny and fascinating to some extent considering how many emotions it can raise within only 6 minutes. (21.10.2016) (mniej) (więcej)
