Who Would I Like to Play the 12th Doctor?

If you don't already know Matt Smith will be leaving. Sorry I just need to cry for a second. Anyway. I think we can all agree that Matt Smith is a great Doctor and almost as good as Christopher Eccleston and better than Tennant but that's for another post. But who would I like to play the 12th Doctor.

5: Benedict Cumberbatch

Are you really surprised. We all know he'd do great. But I do not want him to be identical to Sherlock. But seriously he would do great. He's just got such a great voice and on
screen presence, he just commands the camera. But I don't want him to over shadow the companion.

4: Neil Gaiman

This is just a personal thing but Neil Gaiman so clearly get's Doctor Who. Also his favourite Doctor is Patrick Troughton so it would be great to see little touches of that. But the main reason is that he get's the character of the Doctor. I think that's very important when your'e playing the role. He understands the character. The only issue is that he can't act but apart from that he would be great. Also it would be quite funny to see him in his own episodes.

3: Mark Gatiss

All the same reasons as above but he can actually act. But the only issue is that he has been in Doctor Who before.

2: An Unknown Actor

1: Joanna Lumley

I think it would be great to have a female Doctor. Seriously I'm really up for the idea. And there's no doubting that Joanna is a great actress. And it would just be so great to have a female Doctor.
Here is a link about the topic of a female Doctor on a youtube channel which I really like and suggest you check out Here.

What would I like the regeneration scene to look like. Well honestly I don't really like the recent regeneration look. I prefer when they look dead just for a second and the companions go "Oh, I guess he's dead" Watch this. Okay that was a comic relief special made by Steven Moffat. I really like the look of that regeneration and the music that was played when it happened. Also Joanna was great in the role.
Bye.

The Name of The Doctor Review

The Name of The Doctor was great or Fantastic! The opening sequence was great I love the bit on Gallifrey and BESSIE!! BESSIE!! 10/10!!!

Just kidding. But this is how to write a fan pleaser episode. Great directing by Saul Metzein. Not sure how to pronounce it. Well how this isn't a video review.

TAKE THAT YOUTUBE!!!

Anyway this was a great episode. Matt Smith, my god Matt Smith that is how to act. Seriously he was great. Clara's reveal was great and so well edited. The plot to this episode I'm not too sure what happened but whilst you're watching it makes sense somehow. What was going on with

INTRODUCING
JOHN
HURT
AS
THE
DOCTOR

Well hopefully that will be explained in the 50th. There is something that annoys about Moffat finales and that is that they have no real pay off. They well close one loose plot thread then open another one. But I have to judge the episode on individual merits. I think the episode is full of genius little things. For example that takes a stroke of genius to come up with the conference meeting. Also the amount of fan nods are greatly done and some how feel sutler than Attack of the Cybermen for example. This episode is great though and I can't think of any issues. Sure you can nitpick like how did the leaf come back or maybe that will be explained.

There are moments which only work when you've seen the series. Like a reward for watching it all. For example when the leaf falls and the Doctor saying this is all you ever were or will be. Now to someone just tuning in the Doctor sounds like an arshole. But to us it means something.

Now I have to talk about Jenny and Vastra. When Jenny died that almost made me cry. That is one of The Best Deaths on Doctor Who. But there is one issue with this. Her coming back to life. It was just handled so easily and kind of killed the moment. But I'll let it go as it lead for a good line from Vastra afterwards. Infact this was the first episode they seem like a couple.

Now let's talk about the Great Intelligence. Richard E Grant was much better than last time but that is not saying much. Also his motive makes no sense. Why does he want to make the Doctor's life a misery? The Whispermen were creepy. But why does Steven Moffat have a thing for invincible creatures? The weeping angels, Whispermen. Apparently he suggested to Neil Gaiman to make the Cybermen be able to upgrade on the spot. The Whispermen though are very creepy and great piece of design.

So overall this was a great episode. I think I'm going to give this episode 10/10 (not just because of bessie). I give it such a high score as there was so much it could of got wrong but it didn't. Also there were minor issues but they didn't lower my enjoyment. The Name of The Doctor was great television with a mix of dark themes great acting and humour which wasn't too forced. Next is the 50th Anniversary. Oh sorry I think I just had a fangasim. Bye.

Nightmare in Silver Review

Nightmare in Silver is by Neil Gaiman. Yes, Neil Gaiman who wrote the amazing The Doctor's Wife. So coming in to this episode I came in at very high hopes. And I had every right to have high hopes. So this episode was amazing. First let's go to the plot.

So the Doctor with two kids and Clara goes to a theme park. Yada yada yada yada and the cybermen are almost in the Doctor. What?!!! Wasn't expecting that. That was amazing. I loved Matt Smith playing Mr Clever. I remember him saying how he would like to play a bond villain and boy does that come out. So it gets to a point where the Doctor and Mr Clever are playing chess. The Doctor ends up cheating. Oh sorry using advantage of the local area and puts gold on the terminator part of his face.

Mega Fan (Me): OMG The Doctor just used gold just like Ace did in...

New Cybermen and Cybermats sorry Mites are introduced and destroyed.

So let's talk about the design and about the new cybermen. Well I love them. Their laser isn't sticking out and they've just scraped completely the cybus industries idea. My only issue is there their speed. I like how they're flexible, it adds a more human feature to them. But don't make them that fast. Why didn't they go super fast at the beginning. Sorry knitpick. But apart from that I love their design and the way they move. They remind me of bacteria always learning how to improve. I think the cybermites are also great and there was one survivor after the explosion...!!!

So let's talk production.

Director, Steven Woolfenden does a great job at showing the amount of the cybermen. Probably the only reason why the Cyberman moved so fast was so he could show off. And boy did he do a good job at it. Neil Gaiman, the writer adds great dialoge to the story. I especially liked the bit with. Kanny Comical Castle. The set design also did a great job. Did anyone else notice the collector had all the aliens from the Rings of Akhaten.

Now let's talk characters.

First let's talk about by far the best character in this story, The Doctor. Matt Smith does a great job as playing Mr Sweet and The Doctor and he's probably done almost as-well as he did in the rings of akhaten. Neil Gaiman so obviously wrote this for Matt Smith. Each scene you couldn't take your eyes away when your he was on screen.

Now let's talk about Angie. God I hate her. I don't blame Neil for this though, I blame Steven. It was Steven who created her and Neil couldn't change her. So she had to be wrote as some moody teenager. Who is just so rude and annoying. But in any episode she would be like that.

Now let's talk about Angie's brother. He was nice. Yeah not much else. But sometimes you don't need a complex character take Brian. He was nice. I quite like Artie. Is that his name? Anyway I'm sure he is relatable to the kids.

How about Clara. She kind of sucked. She came out as quite irritating and rude as commander. But she clearly wasn't meant to be the centre of the story. Which is fine because she did have some nice scenes.

Porridge. Ahhhh Porridge. Porridge is played by Warick Davis and he is so sweet. I felt so sad for him when he proposed to Clara. He was just really nice and had some great scenes.

So overall I loved this episode. There a few knitpicks but nothing too big. So I'm going to give this episode 9/10. Which means this is the best episode of the series so far! Bye.
