ROME, S1E11, "The Spoils" Best episode of TV I've watched this year. It's unreal how they got me to cheer for these bastards

DEATH IN HEAVEN Some ways I judge this are unfair (it should have come before Time of the Doctor), but it is less elegant than Part 1. That said, Clara, Danny, 12 in the graveyard WORKS. Any second I'm out, they pull me back in with a line delivery or expression Andrew: 8/10 Me: 8/10

Kill List, man. New favourite. The cult calmly rocking up in the eleventh hour with torches and nudity elicits that feeling of reading Innsmouth for the first time. The grimy, unidealistic tale and characters getting upended as it turns out what genre they've been doing all this time is wonderful

DARK WATER Beyond mature, almost don't blame Moffat for throwing in the kiss scene for levity. Maybe a better idea than a premise, but it's uncharted territory. Bookended by Danny & 12 driving Clara to act out her threat, reveals so much about all 3. Anderson floors me. ANDREW: 8/10 ME: 9/10

Watched the Raging Bull for the first time. Might be the best of Martin's I've seen, even if it's not my favourite. The awfulness of the character comes at you, fittingly, like a boxer's swings.

For one episode of TV, Smith's Doctor became a childish, mournful ghost who will pityingly take his enemy by the hand and guide him gently to the past he's been running away from.

IN THE FOREST OF THE NIGHT Kill the Moon for the kids! Tight script, a refreshing tempo that direction leans into. The fairytale references stack on each other, that final note IS as stupid as people say it is. But otherwise... we think this one is underestimated, guys. Andrew: 8/10 Me: 8/10

FLATLINE The Dr-lite Dimensional Dilemma. It's more good stuff! Lives in my head less as its own story and more as another step in 12 and Clara's journeys. But it's impossible to imagine this series without it. Goldmine for weird visuals and ideas. Andrew: 8/10 Me: 8/10

MUMMY ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS Stylish, lavish monster hunt. Maisie is a little thin, Clara is less front and centre. But it's otherwise standard Doctor Who done with white hot precision and interesting themes adorning it. Andrew wishes Gus came back. Andrew 7/10 Me 9/10

KILL THE MOON Bites off *maybe* more than it can chew & some beats need more than Capaldi and A Good Man blaring to totally sell them to me. But it's some of the best dialogue & performances in the history of the show. That ending is deftly built up to Andrew: 6.5/10 Me: 8/10

THE CARETAKER The actors are simply punching above the material, tho Capaldi is ill-served here with the PE bit. Noteworthy thematic stuff for days; 12 convincing the Blitzer he's its CO. But all is undercut by that flip... Danny should have saved the day using maths. Andrew: 6/10 Me: 4/10

TIME HEIST Andrew reckons this is probably the most River story not to feature River. Something had to go between Listen and The Caretaker but no one on this site watches this episode for the plot anyway. Well constructed schedule filler. Andrew: 8/10 Me: 7/10

INTO THE DALEK Once again, the highlights are new stuff; Capaldi, the direction, Danny 😍 The context of what came later helps. But other components drag it down. Any idea why Journey Blue wanted to go with the man who spent an episode pissing her off? Andrew: 7/10 Me: 6/10

DEEP BREATH Holdovers from the last year offset by some ruminations on age, rot, cannibalisation, existential anxiety and identity. Fun. Hits its stride as soon as Clara and 12 reach the restaurant. My rating: 8/10 Andrew's Rating: 7/10

Really enjoyed this after seeing it for the first time. Early days for live adaptations so I expected something more typical. That went out the window with the misdirect in the opening & the character entering like a horror movie monster. Keaton somehow makes Bruce the most interesting thing

#tma #doctorwho THE EXTINCTION Fear of a massive, apocalyptic change which will usher in the whatever comes after humanity, often linked with technology. Daleks, Cybermen and Toclofane are linked with atomic horror, manmade catastrophes and existential terror of creatures taking our place.

#doctorwho #tma #themagnusarchives THE END Fear of death, it's old, simple, often passive because it knows it will eventually win. The Glove from Torchwood would make a good artifact. Death from the VNAs and Audios, the Veil in the confession dial and Trask in Alien Bodies.

#doctorwho #tma THE SLAUGHTER Fear of random, pure violence, without motivation. It can be calm or frenzied. Sometimes linked with music. Realised that the Giggle kinda fits this. As do the Sontarans and really, most pure historicals

THE LONELY Fear of isolation, or not being able to connect. The Lonely Assassins could fit several powers, but they threaten you by separating you from everyone else by sending you to a different time. They leave rooms creepily empty. There's also the nightmare man from SJA, isolating Luke.

THE FLESH Fear of being eaten, but also having your body mutilated, destroyed and turned into food. There are human neuroses, like body image wrapped up in there too. It seems related to the industry side of consumption as opposed to the Hunt. Torchwood had a LOT of these

Caves of Androzani Peri's treatment in the next era begins here and sadly this story wouldn't work without it. Besides that, what else is there to say. Genuinely shocking even outside the most memorable bits, with a cast of villains who don't belong on children's TV.

Colony in Space Greyer than grey. You absolutely wouldn't know that this is the first time the Doctor saved the universe from looking at it. But underneath all those gravel quarries, you've got a story that is full of humanity and ancient scope. Even as an adult, I can easily rewatch this.

Doctor Who And The Silurians You know the Pertwee era's bark is worse than its bite as soon as this serial ends and the next one begins. But God it's fun to pretend for 7 episodes. I've got to highlight everything done with the virus just for the sense of scale and doom it gives the catastrophe

Mind Robber Slept on this for years to my shame. Until recently, I forgot how well put together it was, not just in regards to the visuals but on the writing front. The definition of the word, timeless.

Power of the Daleks Lovecraftian Daleks and a lead operating on a different wavelength from everyone around him. You know the Colony is doomed as soon as Bragen puts on that fucking uniform. Nothing I haven't said before. Electrifying, restrained, hypnotic unease.

Myth Makers Putting Doctor Who alongside Greek heroes and tricksters is a fun commentary and foreshadowing of where One is heading. A funny story that the Dr loses all control over and descends into chaos. History beats him and not for the last time.

The Rescue The core appeal of this character has never been more purely encapsulated. You could come here straight from the new series and see the same person and if you watch it from the beginning you see how far the First Doctor has come.

#doctorwho #tma #themagnusarchives THE CORRUPTION Disgust, revulsion, disease, and filth. It manifests as mould, bugs, rot, decay, and infection. Anything that makes your skin crawl or hollows you out. Mostly the realm of classic who I find; the Wirrn and Krynoid in particular

#doctorwho #tma #themagnusarchives THE SPIRAL Fear of madness, that the world is not right that your mind is lying to you. Manifests in hallucinations, mazes, impossible architecture. The Hotel from the God Complex and the Toyroom fit that last one. The Silence use your memories against you.

#doctorwho #tma #themagnusarchives THE STRANGER Fear of the unknown, the uncanny. That creeping sense that something just isn't quite right; taxidermy, clowns, mannequins and skin, anything pretending to be human. Classic Series Autons, the Not Things from Wild Blue Yonder and The Clown from SJA

#doctorwho #tma #themagnusarchives THE DARK Fear of the dark and what might be in it. An old, primal fear. Obviously, the Vashta Nerada fit this. There's also the villain from the Fear of the Dark and the "elemental shade" from Love and Monsters...

#doctorwho #tma #themagnusarchives THE DESOLATION Fear of pain, loss, fire without the warmth. Destroying things with potential, unthinking and cruel destruction This one is harder than I thought. The Ravagers seem appropriate, as do the Daleks. Emphasis on burning and motivated by pure sadism.
