New Who Review for Flesh and Stone
May. 18th, 2010 10:11 amOk we left the Doctor in trouble with what seems to be no way out which is probably when he is at his most dangerous.
We learn a little more about River Song but, at this point, it seems that the more we learn the less we know. I’ll talk about the implications of what was said about her in the spoilers section. I do like that it seems that their interaction seems to be backwards still. Some day we will probably see their timelines collide just not this season. I do expect to see River later this season.
Amy is put through the ringer in this one and comes out on the other end…see Spoilers for my comments on this development.
Again the acting is fine and I feel that Matt is getting a handle on his version of the Doctor. The maniac is still there but it is a little more controlled than it has been in previous episodes. Karen Gillian continues to impress me as a companion.
I really see this and “The Time of Angels” as a piece rather than two separate episodes and that didn’t bother me.
Next week we go to Venice and deal with Vampires. With any luck there will be no Edward Cullens in the mix.
I am grateful for concluding episodes that do conclude the story along with setting up new things.
