REVIEW: Doctor Who – The Girl Who Waited

Posted by ptb under *like, Television | Join The Discussion |

The Girl Who Waited is not only one of the strongest episodes of this season of Doctor Who, but one of the most enjoyable of the series history. I enjoyed it so much, I’m having trouble articulating all my thoughts on it. It strips away the epic storyline we’ve been following this year and gives a powerful story about the characters. From a production standpoint, the episode hits all the notes I love. The Two Streams Facility combines visually striking images or stark white walls that give way to dank boiler rooms, and lush Tim Burton-esque gardens. The music was haunting and the sound effects are perfect for the episode. I don’t normally discuss these elements of the show, but they really did appeal to me on every level and I can see myself watching this one many times.
