I wrote about how much I was looking forward to the opening episode of the next series of Doctor Who. So I suppose I should write a few words on what I thought about it. Well, look, I’m not very good at this sort of thing, so I’ll just hand you over to the review by Teresa Jusino over at Tor.com. She seems to have read my mind pretty well.
Warning: it has spoilers (© Professor River Song).
I thought that it was brilliant, but I can understand that some would miss the references – I’m not sure that I caught them all. But how refreshing it is to have a writer (Steven Moffat) who does not dumb down everything to the lowest common denominator. Can’t wait for next Saturday, when I’m parked on the sofa again.
Like her I appreciate the agony behind the simple word “spoilers”. She describes it perfectly.
Yes, I think that the River Song character is a brilliant addition to the Doctor Who canon, and Alex Kingston plays her wonderfully…
