Episode one - The Magician's Apprentice (Contains spoilers!)
Hey 'dudes'! As you are of no doubt aware - Doctor Who is back! And for the first episode of the new series we are greeted to our old enemies - the Daleks (dun dun dun). And more specifically Davros - who wants to meet with the Doctor one final time.
I wont do a summary of the episode - partly out of fear for spoiling it for anyone who may not have watched it and because if you have seen it you know what happened! This review will mainly be just me talking about what I enjoyed about the episode, what excited me and anything (if there is anything) that I didn't enjoy about the episode.
So firstly one thing that I enjoyed in this episode was THE DOCTOR ON THE GUITAR. The Doctor seriously rocked out in this episode and what could make this better? It was actually Peter Capaldi playing it. How cool is that? The Doctor is a rocker at heart! Yes, yes I know that the return of Daleks and the planet Skaro is pretty damn exciting (and scary too) but perhaps it was because we haven't seen this side of the Doctor - it was just so cool to see. And bravo to Peter Capaldi you cool dude. Who knew that the Doctor introduced the word dude centuries earlier too? #themoreyouknow
Another thing that I enjoyed was the 'good bad' jokes the Doctor tried to pull off just after rocking out. I'm a sucker for 'good bad' jokes and that tank one was just great although he just didn't get a very good reception. That's probably one thing me and the Doctor have in common - our awesome jokes just don't get the laughter they truly deserve.
Regarding jokes, Missy provided quite a few laughs for me in this episode which I found really surprising. So far, I like her character - I find her interesting, eccentric and of course slightly mad. I also loved this idea that she wanted to be the Doctor's best friend yet also his arch enemy at the same time. However, I'm still questioning who she really is, I know last series she said she was 'The Master' but I don't know - I'm still not sure. Regardless, I like her, she's entertaining.
Was there anything I didn't like about this episode? Not really no. If anything the ending was something that confused me - especially if the Doctor really does go ahead and kill young Davros. I know that Davros created the Daleks and by killing him they wouldn't have been created (and Clara and Missy wouldn't have been killed) but if the Doctor does go ahead I'm just going to be needing a lot more questions answering. It also doesn't seem like something the Doctor would do (killing a child not saving his friends). But anyway, this is all for next week's episode which I can't wait for!
Just some questions - If the Doctor kills Davros this would mean the Daleks wouldn't have existed. So could Rose come back? Could this be a thing? Could the Doctor be able to see Rose again? (I don't know)
- Also throughout this episode I couldn't shake the memory of Oswin Oswald, maybe this is nothing but I just thought Daleks were there and now they are back. Maybe I'm trying to connect something that just isn't meant to be connected. But hey its fun to speculate!
I am so happy that Doctor Who is back and I hope any of you reading this enjoyed this post. As usual I am sorry if there are any mistakes or spelling errors and if you'd like to share your opinions on the episode feel free too! I really appreciate anyone who reads my blog - I don't really know what it surrounds yet but I'm having so much fun with it.
Have a lovely day or night dudes!
