New Who Review #69

Cold Blood

This wasn't as good as part 1. I felt like part 2 was more boring and a bit more political. The doctor trying to get the earth to be shared between Human & Silurian is good on paper but when on screen it does feel a bit ehh. The mum is such a nightmare. We could've got somewhere with the Silurians if it wasn't for her and I hate it. The Light from the crack in time catching up with Rory is so sad even though he will be back again because he is literally Rory the roman dying is literally his hobby. The idea of if you can remember something it can come back is sort of used here with the doctor trying to get Amy to remember Rory after he was erased from existence. Overall a weaker second part to an ok story. 5/10

i still hate the mum

Good episode

Having seen Petwee's run-in with the Silurians its an interesting contrast. At least what went down in this one is better than what happened to their predecessors, maybe in 1000 years we'll have humanity and silurians co-existing

This was a very nice episode!! Bit confused by why some of it feels unfinished — like there was someone else who was supposed to be there? Amy and the Doctor were amazing as usual! She's a great companion.

In all seriousness: I find the idea of erasing Rory very interesting and can't wait to see how that plays out. 

Okay this was fantastic. On my first watch I didn't really appreciate it enough. Not really in the mood for a big review so I'll just say that I loved how it puts into the screen the phrase "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind".

I was hooked seeing how everything the Doctor was doing to broker peace between the two species was let down by those that are "so much less than the best of humanity."

Plus, this acts as a sort of sequel to the first Silurians serial with the Third Doctor, which I really liked.
