Review: The Girl Who Waited

Warning: There may be spoilers below.

Last night, we watched the newest episode of Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited. It was a great episode, full of the complex time-y mind-boggling-ness that makes Doctor Who so good. The separate timestreams idea made for a really good story, and it was kinda sad to see Rory have to make a choice between the Amys. Old Amy had almost a Cast Away attitude, with Rory the robot being the Wilson volleyball. Maybe it’s because we’re only kids, and we don’t understand grown-up stuff, but Amy and her freaking out got a little tiring after a while, and we don’t really get how she’s not relieved that the Doctor came and doesn’t want to get out of the place. Nevertheless, Arthur Darvill and Karen Gillan did a great job portraying their characters, and the stand out scene is when old Amy gets locked out of the TARDIS. Overall, it was a great episode, though we’re not sure it was as good as it was hyped up to be.

Watch: The Girl Who Waited

Yesterday, the latest episode of Doctor Who aired on BBC. Have you seen it yet? Here’s the summary from the BBC Press Office:

Amy is trapped in a quarantine facility for victims of an alien plague – a plague that will kill the Doctor in a day – as the time-travelling drama continues.

The Doctor can use the TARDIS to smash through time and break in, but then Rory is on his own. He must find Amy and bring her back to the TARDIS before the alien doctors can administer their medicine.

Rory is about to encounter a very different side to his wife. Can he rescue Amy before she is killed by kindness?
