New Who Review #66

The Vampires of Venice

This story was so much fun. We haven't really seen Vampires in new who and we haven't seen any species from Saturn. This one changes that. I love the setting in Venice 1580 and the school that's changing ordinary Venician girls into Vampires so the male saturnynes can have a girlfriend. There were some really stunning shots in this of Venice from above. Messing with the weather is also something that we haven't really seen before too. Having Rory come along was a blast. I don't really like Rory but he is quite entertaining sometimes. We also learn for the first time that silence will fall. There are silence in the cracks (we will get more into this in series 6). The ending where it zooms to the tardis keyhole and then the vortex plays was so beautiful. I might be looking way too far into this but to me it's showing the tardis has the vortex inside it. Overall great story with a Beautiful setting and some good Monsters. 9/10
