Brief rundown of the new Who Episodes

Don't worry I won't bore you with in depth reviews and my thoughts and feelings on the latest 3 episodes of Doctor Who. Instead heres what I would give them out of 10 and I will review the 6th Series as a whole when the boxset is released in late October :)

Lets Kill Hitler: A good look at the beginings of River Song aka Melody Pond and her relationship with the Doctor and her parents. But surprisingly, theres very little of Hitler and they left him in the cupboard!

8 OUT OF 10

Night Terrors: A nice self contained story that ramps up the tension well and portrays another childhood fear... what is in your cupboards when night falls (Maybe Hitler if the last episode is anything to go by!). Well written and brilliantly acted, Mark Gatiss hits the mark at every turn.

8 OUT OF 10

The Girl Who Waited: This episode is probably my favourite of the new series, right up there with the Doctors Wife for tugging at the heart strings. Its an in depth analysis of the relationship between Amy and Rory and further cements that these two love one another to the end of Time itself. The scenes between Old Amy and Rory are truly heart breaking. Overall this is defiantly a showcase for Karen Gillian, whose portrayal of the older Amy is true to her character, and who carries the hurt and rejection of being left behind by her best friend on her sleeve for all to see

9.5 OUT OF 10

The last 3 episodes of the series look to be pretty interesting to in their own right. This weeks God Complex with the hotel that has a room for each its inhabitants worse fears.
Closing Time is sequel to last years the lodger, and sees the return of Craig, Sophie now with a new baby as well as the Cybermen and Cyber Mats. Closing Time looks to be a fun romp pretty much like the Lodger, and Matt Smith and James Corden have great chemistry.
And finally we have The Wedding Of River Song to end the series. Little is known about this episode apart from it sees the return of, of course River Song. But also Madame Kovarian (Eye Patch Lady) and the Silence. It looks to be an explosive finale, with the Doctor returning to Lake Silencio in 2011 is face his death.
Is the Impossible Astronaught River Song/Melody Pond? Will we finally know what or who the Silence are? Will the Doctor die? And whats with Area 52, all the eyepatches and the Pyramid with a train line?! All will be revelaed in 2 weeks... or will it?? We know that Steven Moffatt loves his timey wimeyness and turning things on their heads!!
