“Save me from the monsters.”

A message travels across time and space to reach The Doctor (Matt Smith). Something terrible has “amplified the fears of a ordinary little boy across all the barriers of time and space through crimson stars and silent stars and tumbling nebulas like oceans set on fire through empires of glass and civilizations of pure thought and a whole terrible, wonderful universe of impossibilities” to beg someone, anyone, for help to “save me from the monsters.”

After a mid-season break Doctor Who returns with an episode centered around River Song’s (Alex Kingston) first encounter with the Doctor (Matt Smith). The episode, involving a friend of Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory’s (Arthur Darvill) named Mels (Nina Toussaint-White), a trip to Nazi Germany, and tiny time police in a human-sized robot, has all the markings of a classic Doctor Who serial. And on that level it works well. However, there can be only one episode where River meets the Doctor for the first time, and that means there’s an entirely different scale on which to judge “Let’s Kill Hitler.”

“Demons run when a good man goes to war.”

I’ve been pretty hard on Doctor Who this year, but I’ve got to say the Sixth Series mid-season break delivered the season’s best episode and finally gave us the identity of River Song (Alex Kingston). If you haven’t seen the episode yet go ahead and skip the review, because we’ve got spoilers.
