by

“Say, ‘Whee!’” – the Doctor I’ll skip the usual synopsis/analysis section and cut right to the bone: this was another fine episode of Doctor Who. With only two episodes of Smith’s reign and Moffat’s stewardship, I could hardly be happier with their start. This episode we get to see Smith in all his gangly, oddly … Read more
