Time Heist

The Doctor arrives in Clara’s room, and after she came in, his TARDIS phone rings. The Doctor answers the phone, and shows up with at a different place with Clara, a shape shifter, and a gamer. All of them have had their memory wiped, and don’t know what has been going on. They are then told to rob the bank of Karabraxos; the most powerful and protected bank in the universe.

Their lives depend on the person who told them to rob the bank, the Architect. The Architect also tells them that something they want is in the bank. The four of them go through a series of trials to rob this bank. Eventually, the Doctor saves a species he had not met before and the others got the items they wanted. The Doctor also realizes that the Architect is himself from the future. 

I like this episode because it shows that the Doctor can beat the system. He can rob the greatest bank in history, and escape alive with a species that he had not met before going into the bank. However, it was a little strange how the Doctor didn’t refuse to rob the bank. He didn’t find some way to not rob the bank, instead he went alone with the Architect’s plans. 

I think that this season has been very good so far. It started with Clara disturbed about the Doctor, and trusting him once more. Then we had a traditional Doctor who bad guy, the Darleks. After that we met a childhood hero, Robin Hood, and helped stop the Sheriff. Then the Doctor went on a search for a creature that hides for a living, and lastly last night’s episode. Doctor Who has had a variety of problems needing to be solved, and they aren’t just focusing on the bad guys we have met before, like Cybermen, Weeping Angels, and Daleks.

Listen

Nightmares scare everyone, what if a time lord has a nightmare that haunts him for the rest of his life? He would probably freak out about it to a point of thinking that there is a species that hides for a living to listen. Everyone is haunted about the monster that hides under their bed, and the nightmare that the monster grabs your foot as you try to stand up.

In the fourth episode of Doctor Who “Listen”, the Doctor is convinced that there is a monster just like that. A monster that hides and listens. Most people have a dream that a monster grabs their foot, so the Doctor tries to go back in time to Clara’s dream. However they end up at her colleague’s dream, and there ends up being someone or something on his bed when they go under the bed to see if there is anything there.

They continue their journey and the Doctor tries to prove that there is a species that hides. They then end up at the end of the universe on the last planet with another time traveler. This lone planet doesn’t have anything living on it, except at night. The door is rattled and knocked on. There is something out there, and the Doctor has to know what it is. So he opens the door to look, and the air pressure is broken. Needing to escape, Clara tries to go to another one of her memories, but ends up at the Doctor’s dream when there is a monster under the bed. It ends up as Clara being on the “monster” that grabs the Doctor’s foot when he was a child.

This episode is freaky, especially at the end, because the Doctor is the one that is mostly shaken up by the monster under the bed. Everyone has nightmares, the key is to acknowledge these terrors and to live on with an open heart.

I remember only one of my nightmares when I was a little kid. This nightmare started in our living room, and I was with my brother and sister. It may seem silly, but we were surrounded by zombies that wanted to eat us. My brother told me to run, and I ran out the front door, and to the neighbor's house. The zombies thought I went to the backyard, and went there. This dream had scared me my whole childhood, and still lingers in my thoughts. This episode reminded me of this dream, and how nightmares can scar someone the rest of their lives.

Robot Of Sherwood

Clara wants to go see her childhood hero, Robin Hood. The Doctor is skeptical that Robin Hood exists, and he is convinced that Robin Hood is a legend. After going to go prove to Clara that Robin Hood doesn’t exist, he ends up proving Clara right. But seeing Robin Hood, he knows something is wrong, but can’t figure what is wrong. He starts to test everything around him, Robin, his comrades, the fruit, and the atmosphere. 

The Doctor and Clara end up battling the Sheriff and robots. The Sheriff is powering the robot's ship to take flight and take over London and then the world. The Sheriff is the one controlling the robots, because they saw him as their natural leader. Clara pretends to have seen the robots crash to the Earth, but is only pretending to find out the Sheriff’s secrets and plans. However the Doctor knows that if the robot's ship takes flight, it will blow up and destroy over half the country. 

I watched this episode on my mother's birthday, with my parents and grandparents. It was a nice fun episode to watch with my family, and was an enjoyable ending to the day. It was fun to watch the archery contest that the Doctor wins by a homing device, and to see that any spectator would think that Clara had the authority over Robin and the Doctor who acted childish towards each other the entire time they were together. 

I found it very interesting that the Doctor thought that Robin Hood was a legend, even though he brags about being everywhere in all of space and time. But then, if he has been everywhere at all times, where would he go without crossing his own timeline and meeting himself? The Doctor has not been everywhere, he does not know everything that happens within the universe, and he has weaknesses like everyone else. 

Into The Dalek

Doctor Who is on for the second time this season. In this episode there was a 'good' Dalek, or so it seemed. On a ship there is a broken Dalek that wants help to destroy its own kind. This Dalek saw a star being born, and thought it wrong for Daleks to try to exterminate.

The Doctor helps the Dalek, even though he is doubtful that a 'good' Dalek exists. The Dalek is fixed and reverts back to its normal self, so the Doctor tries to reach that memory of a star being born, and tries to get the Dalek good again. He ends up having the Dalek in his mind, and seeing hate. Hatred for the Daleks, and clings to that hatred.

I really liked this episode because it helps to show how much the Doctor really hates the Daleks. This episode was an opener to who the Doctor really is; a man that still has a grudge against the species that helped destroy his kind, but someone who still helps and protects mankind. He gave this one Dalek a chance to change, but all it saw was hatred inside of him. This really comes back to your mind when Clara tells the Doctor that she doesn't know if he is a good man, but he tries to be, and that is enough. 

I think that everyone tries to be a good man or woman, but I don’t think that a perfect good or bad man exists. I believe that everyone is good, and everyone is bad in their own way. I believe that anyone has good in them, and everyone has a bad side to them. There are choices that everyone has to make, and some of these choices can help others decide who you are; if you are a bad person, or if you a good person.

Deep Breath

Since Doctor Who was airing again, I had a party with a many friends. They all knew who the new Doctor was going to be, Peter Capaldi, but no one knew what he was going to be like. This next season was going to be a great season, as we could all tell. Everyone was very excited, and everyone came to my party. 

To prepare for this party I planned it weeks ahead in time, and made many decorations. I got many ideas here, especially for food, but I thought of many on my own. The most important aspects to making these decorations was to make sure everyone knew what they represented. A Cassandra sheet on the door, a hand in a jar for the table, and signs for various quotes ("Hello Sweetie", "It's Bigger On The Inside", "Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey", and "Don't Blink"). Everyone was surprised by the huge effort I made for this party.

The episode was surprising and made many references to other shows like "Girl In The Fireplace". The new Doctor is very unstable and is more alien than the previous Doctors. He is more like someone from Gallifrey that has seen a lot of joy and horror, and doesn't seem to be as 'human' as the Doctors before him. This new season seems to be exciting, and I look forward to watching the rest of the episodes.

The episode was about the Doctor, Clara, and the Tardis getting eaten by a Dinosaur, and going to London with it. The Doctor meets Strax and Vastra there in London. Then the Dinosaur dies from burning alive, and the Doctor investigates. There are robots that want to look human, so they keep gathering human and other animal parts. The title comes from the robots not breathing, so Clara has to hold her breath to keep from being captured by these robots during investigation. She fails, and the Doctor rescues her.
