New Who Review for Vincent and the Doctor
Jun. 30th, 2010 09:15 amThis was my favorite episode this year and I have seen through to the end. I remind everyone that I would serious prefer that any and all spoilers be only to the end of this episode although I do understand the temptation to talk about what is going on after this episode. I would like it best if we just talked about this episode.
I think the first Van Gogh I can remember seeing was a picture of a Vase with 12 sunflowers. I liked it a lot. Since then I think I have seen either in person or photos of most of his paintings. He is not my favorite painter but he is really up there. So this episode had some personal resonance with me.
Over all I really enjoyed this episode. I have one niggling problem that I will discuss in the Spoiler zone. I loved the interaction between Amy and Vincent. I loved the way the monster was revealed to us and the dénouement of the episode with Vincent and the TARDIS.
I am amazed that Bill Nighy is un-credited. I knew who it was before he opened his mouth. Again the regular cast continues to impress me a lot.
