S9E1: "The Magician's Apprentice"

This episode was the best Doctor Who I've seen in quite some time. mind you, in dealing with some major changes in my personal life (an explanation for my hiatus) it's the only Doctor Who that I've seen since probably the Christmas episode, but the point still stands.

So, why was it so good? The first few ten minutes of the episode brought us to the past of Doctor Who, with visits to The Shadow Proclamation and Karn (and the Sisterhood), glimpses of ood, and I believe one Sycorax, a new, em, creature, Colony Sarff. But before all that, the name of the boy who was not going to die that day: Davros. (It's not a spoiler if it happened before the title sequence, right?)

S8E12: "Death in Heaven"

Well that tied up a lot of loose ends.

"The Doctor's Wife" 6x4

Original Air Date: 14 May 2010

Oh, look, an Ood!

We just got a letter glowing box,
We just got a letter glowing box,
We just got a letter glowing box!
I wonder who it's from?

Sorry. Blue's Clues was my childhood.

Uncle's voice sounds like Craig Fergeuson's German accent.
OH MY GOD. The Timelords were all like: "I don't know where I am." They're in the internet!
Okay, so in An Adventure in Space and Time, he better stroke the console and say "you are the most beautiful think I have ever known." Or I will be rather cross.
Yes, he pushes to open, BUT what the sign is referring to the cover on the phone thingie >.<#
Oh, look. Rory died again.
How did those Ood tentacles feel? Are they all smimey.
It's the DT (and Eccleston) console. I literally waved my hands in fangasm. Which is now deleted :(

IDRIS: Doctor, are you there? It's so very dark in here.
DOCTOR: I'm here.
IDRIS: I've been looking for a word. A big, complicated word, but so sad. I've found it now.
DOCTOR: What word?
IDRIS: Alive. I'm alive.
DOCTOR: Alive isn't sad.
IDRIS: It's sad when it's over. I'll always be here, but this is when we talked, and now even that has come to an end. There's something I didn't get to say to you.
DOCTOR: Goodbye?
IDRIS: No. I just wanted to say hello. Hello, Doctor. It's so very, very nice to meet you.
DOCTOR: Please. I don't want you to. Please.

Remember--the only water in the forest is the river.

Entertainment Weekly's Best Adventures

Netflix really is a gem. It's got almost all of the revival episodes, and some of the highest-regarded classic episodes. The first Doctor Who Entertainment Weekly issue gave a list of each Doctor's best episode (more on that here) and with the exception of William Hartnell and Colin Baker (There are no episodes with him, aside from the end of Caves of Androzani when he is regenerated in to.), all those episodes are there, plus some more.
According to EW, the best adventure for each doctor was:

1. William Hartnell-An Unearthly Child (The first episode. I've only been able to find clips of it on youtube. Let me know if you know of a free way to see it in its entirety.)
2. Patrick Troughton- The Mind Robber
3. Jon Pertwee- The Green Death
4. Tom Baker- The Ark in Space
5. Peter Davison- The Caves of Androzani
6. Colin Baker- I don't remember. I couldn't find the info online; this is pure memory recal from four days ago. Possibly Trial of a Time Lord
7. Sylvester McCoy- The Curse of Fenric
8. Paul McGann- Only had one television appearance, the made-for-TV movie.
9. Christiopher Eccleston- The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
10. David Tennant- Blink (I must disagree with this one. The Doctor didn't appear much in this to really warrant it as his "best adventure.")
11. Matt Smith- The Doctor's Wife
