New Who Review #95


The Bells of Saint John


This story was fun. It's a nice way to kick off 7B and introduce the "new" clara. Having The Great Intelligence back feels eh because we've only just had him as a villain but I guess he's an ongoing villain throughout this part. The Spoonheads were an ok villain not my favourite villain but they were pretty cool. The idea of WiFi that can kill you is silly but it's so doctor who which is why it works. If this was any other show I don't think it could pull it off without looking pathetic but doctor who just does it right. The ending was so strange with the staff going back to factory default. I don't know what that exactly means like are they going back to the mindset of a child or something else? Overall a good story to kick off 7B and continue the clara story onwards. 9/10
