Doctor Who: The Six Season/Series Opinions

Doctor Who sixth season ended awhile back but now I thought I would take out the chance and gave my opinion on how I felt this season ended and some of my favorite episodes. First off the season finale was really done well and left you wanting more. I will not spoil what happens but it made me have a lot of WTF moments. It seems like the next season will deal with more of the Doctor past before we all knew him as the Doctor and hopefully answer a lot of questions. Now for my favorite episodes. I have to say the opening episodes were really good. Especially "The Doctor's Wife", not only was it written by Neil Gaiman (which he wrote DC Vertigo's series "The Sandman") it made the Tardis have a speaking presence and physical body and I thought it was nice to finally to see why The Doctor and Tardis are so close. "The Almost People" was one of favorites of two parters episodes because of The Doctor having a flesh copy of himself and when he was going through previous incarnations of Doctor quotes (and yes he quoted Tom Baker's jelly babies it made me squeal). Not only the episode had a sort of sad ending it to it which led into the next episode. "Let's Kill Hitler" was a great mid-season open episode, trying my best to not spoil anything on that but I really want a sonic cane after seeing that episode.  "Night Terrors" was a freaky episode, especially the dolls that would do creepy voices and touch you and turn you into one of them. The dolls reminded me of the creepy porcelain dolls that my aunt collected. I hate those things and after seeing that episode I definitely hate them. But the episode was really good.

"Closing Time" is my favorite of the six season/series. Why? It was well written and the humor was top notch, but it brought back a old foe. The Cybermats are brought back after decades of not being seen in Doctor Who episode in awhile. I really like the chemistry between The Doctor and Craig, they connect well and the humor they produce is brilliant. I definitely found this one of my favorite side character episodes. Then it all leads up to "The Wedding of River Song", now I want say much on this. Not because I don't like it, I just don't want to spoil the season finale. All I can say is that definitely messed with the viewer (well me personally) and had a lot of surprises. I been suffering through no new episodes of Doctor Who....totally depressing. Although the Christmas special will be coming on in the next month ^.^ So see you then and remember to discuss your opinions in the comments.
