New Who Review for Kill the Moon
Oct. 6th, 2014 09:45 amThis episode seems to be one of those polarizing ones. I have not found anyone in the middle ground, which is where I am standing. I liked it but I did not love it. There were some brilliant parts and some seriously Oh Come ON sections.
I thought all the actors did brilliantly. Special kudos to Ellis George (Courtney Woods) for giving us such a nuanced performance. Bringing a kid along to make a point was a bit daring.
I did love the Doctor’s speech on the beach. Thought Capaldi knocked that one of the park. A little less for Jenna Coleman and the speech in the TARDIS at the end. She did well enough and I honestly don’t know if it was her, the direction or the script but it rang a little hollow for me.
The decision to be made was interesting and set up some of those lovely moral dilemmas that we have on this show. Also that the Doctor basically said, “Not my monkeys, not my circus” was a bit different than previous incarnations.
I am grateful that most of the episodes have given me something to think about afterwards.
