Doctor Who - The Eleventh Hour

In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who we continue to look back at some old episodes of the series. With Matt Smith making his final appearance as The Eleventh Doctor in “The Time of The Doctor,” it seems appropriate that we take a look back at his first episode as The Doctor in “The Eleventh Hour.” It begins with an out-of-control TARDIS, a crash landing, a lie to a young girl, a mysterious crack in a wall that is actually far more interesting, and the odd combination of fish fingers and custard. And it ends with The Doctor frightening off an alien invader, adopting a bow tie, and heading back into space with a new TARDIS and companion.

Doctor Who – Series 7 (Part One)

doctor-who-series-7-part-one-blu-rayThe first half of Doctor Who Series Seven is collected here including The Doctor‘s (Matt Smith) final farewell to Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), dinosaurs on spaceships, a cyborg assassin in the Old West, an invasion of mysterious black cubes, the introduction of Mark Williams as Rory’s father, and an entire planet of insane Daleks which teases the future introduction of Jenna-Louise Coleman as The Doctor’s new companion in this year’s Christmas episode.

Centered around single one-off episodes rather than an ongoing story arc, these episodes get the season off to a good start (even if the western episode is a little flat), before returning the Weeping Angels to their original glory and saying a tearful farewell to the Ponds. “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” is the real stand-out among the set which feels very much like a throwback to Doctor Who‘s old Douglas Adams days complete with an absurd premise and pair of quarreling robots.

In between writer Steven Moffat gives us the Weeping Angels, a paradox that nearly destroys New York City, the return of River Song (Alex Kingston), and a pair of heart-wrenching decisions involving the future of Amy and Rory (Arthur Darvill).

One week before the mid-season finale, and final episode featuring Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) as The Doctor’s (Matt Smith) primary companions, Doctor Who delivers an episode about millions of mysterious small black cubes that suddenly appear all across the world. The cubes’ inactivity forces The Doctor to do the one thing he hates more than Daleks – to wait.

“Why would I be curious? It’s a mysterious space-cowboy-assassin. Curious? Of course I’m not curious.”
