Doctor Who - In the Forest of the Night

Magic trees. In the latest episode of Doctor Who a new forest has sprung up across the world much to the surprise and consternation of the local populace. Arriving in London, The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) begins to investigate the phenomena which one of Clara‘s (Jenna Coleman) students brings to his attention. Initially ignoring the girl’s insight, the Time Lord discovers that Maebh (Abigail Eames) is unusually tuned to the odd happenstance and may be the key to understanding what is going on. The show has certainly gotten its money’s worth of introducing Clara first as a nanny and now as a schoolteacher allowing children to become involved in multiple episodes which it uses again as a strength with talented child acting.

Doctor Who - Flatline

In an episode that could have easily been entitled “Honey, I Shrunk the TARDIS,” roles are reversed when The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) becomes trapped in an increasingly shrinking time machine whose energies are somehow being absorbed by two-dimensional beings who have already killed several locals while learning about three-dimensional beings. Taking zombie-like control of their victims, the two-dimensional beings (named the Boneless by The Doctor) begin chasing Clara (Jenna Coleman) while hunting for their next victim.

Doctor Who - Mummy on the Orient Express

Although it’s been mentioned on the show previously, this is the first time we’ve actually seen The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) take a companion to the space-traveling Orient Express carefully recreated to resemble the Earth locomotive of the same name (although no one stops to explain why that is). On what we’re told will be Clara’s final journey with The Doctor, the pair walk into an unusual situation where members of the train begins dying, being slowly murdered by a mummy who only they can see in the 66 seconds leading up to their deaths.

Eventually Aku stops the battle by threatening the homeworlds of each of the heroes should they refuse to surrender and allow their consciousness to be copied, altered, and installed in each of the warriors making the robotic army unstoppable.

Although the latest issue continues to keep Mojo Jojo on the sidelines, the reveal of Aku’s true plan and threat against a world Mojo has no intention of letting be destroyed before he can conquer it, convinces the Powerpuff Girls’ arch-nemesis to switch sides and (GASP!) play the hero?!
