Forget Me Not part one

I love this story so much. This is the start of my favourite series and it's so good. It follows the doctor as he goes to America for a lost little girl and an astronaut in a lake. The series arc this time is one of the darkest but best the show has ever done. The doctors death. I love the design of the silence they're so creepy. The idea of being able to remember something only as long as we can see it. Because what if there is a creature with us right now that we just saw but can't remember because you are reading this review...look up. Overall an amazing first part of this finale and a great opener for series 6. 10/10

11 being burnt after death like The Master was... Oh, they'll always be famous

Despite the fact that the episode begins by killing off beloved children's icon Doctor Who, this episode has always felt effortlessly cozy to me. Maybe it's that 11 / Amy / Rory / River companion dynamic which I always love, the effortlessly fun dialogue Stephen Moffat injects into every scene, or even the small mystery of figuring out exactly where the girl is calling from. No matter what, I can always come back to this episode (And its second part) and enjoy watching it just as much every time.

Best season opener of all New Who.

There wasn't a whole lot of plot explained in the first episode but I liked it. The pacing was a little off and I too am hoping to see something a little different than the timey-wimey stuff but yeah, it was good.
