New Who Review for Before the Flood

Usual rules apply to future episodes and the like. Spoilers for this episode and all previous episodes are under the cut.

Since Caroline had been out of town for “Under the Lake” and we were at NYCC when “Before the Flood” aired so I saw both episodes back to back and they work very well as a piece but were also fascinating individually.

This was fun from opening monologue to closing sentence. There isn’t any cheating here between the time zones and the actions of the characters.

Good character development through out. I felt sorry for each person meeting their fate as I had some idea who each one was.

I am glad that we met one of the ghosts before he was a ghost. Some great dialogue for him.

There isn’t much more I can say without spoiling something for someone.

New Who Review for The Girl Who Died

When I heard that Maisie Williams had been cast in Doctor Who, I was intrigued. I had enjoyed her on Game of Thrones and thought she had grown a lot as an actress as the seasons went on. I was not disappointed.

This was one that you could drop almost any Doctor into except for one detail that I will discuss in the spoiler section behind the cut.

I think we are getting a little more fleshed out on what the arc this season. I have a theory, which I will propose later.

Good story over all. Solid Doctor Who which seems to be the norm these days.
