Sometimes I wonder if I’m watching the same episode? HeroPress reviewed The Best Below, and generally didn’t seem to like it…<\/p>\n
What are my clues?<\/p>\n
I just am shaking my head, because it seems like I watched a different episode… While I remember the scenes he’s discussing, I certainly didn’t feel like it was even close to Love & Monsters, nor Fear her… It was paced well, had some amount of tension, but it was more of a detective story than an Action Adventure romp.<\/p>\n
Yes, the climax of the episode was pressing a freaking white button, but this felt more like a excellent classic series story than a “new Who” episode. Which sounds odd, but is a refreshing change…<\/p>\n
The 11th Doctor seems to be shaping up to include some of the aspects of the Sylvester Mccoy Doctor… For example, when he uses the cup of Water to check for Engine vibrations, his answer to Amy is that “He thinks so fast sometimes, that he doesn’t remember what he was trying to do” (I’m horribly paraphrasing here). Then a few minutes later with Liz 10, he explains why he did it…. He’s keeping secrets… And distorting things like stating that they are observers only and they cannot get involved….<\/p>\n
The eleventh Doctor is shaping up well, and I personally don’t see any problems yet with his reign…<\/p>\n
But I must stress, it is perfectly fine that we don’t agree completely with each other regarding the episode. \u00c2\u00a0We are all fans, and we all have different likes & dislikes… \u00c2\u00a0For example, I really dislike quite a bit of Love & Monsters, but more because of the fact that it wasn’t a Doctor Who episode… \u00c2\u00a0What it was, I don’t quite know… \u00c2\u00a0Compare that with Blink, another Doctor “Lite” episode, even though the Doctor wasn’t really it in, it worked as a Doctor Who episode…<\/p>\n
Fear Her? \u00c2\u00a0While it wasn’t a “absolutely fantastic” episode, it still was pretty good… Certainly better than “Love & Monsters”.<\/p>\n
