Doctor Who: The Star Beast (2023)
I mean it's definitely a Tennant/RTD story plot wise
The plot and overall pacing was NOT BORING and very easy to watch. Probably the best episode to watch since MAYBE series 10??? 14 was basically 10 but more mature. Donna was funny. Rose was decent. Sylvia the absolute queen. Shaun was very likely. The scene mentioning wilf and the "why does it have to be this?!" did have me welling up. The whole messaging was preachy and forced, however I must say in terms of representation it was much better here than in the Jodie era. The meep and wrath warriors were fun. Unfortunately the beginning felt very rushed... overall, would definitely watch again :)!
Doctor Who: Victory of the Daleks (2010)
Hmm...ok I guess?
Things I Like:
- Ian McNeice's performance of Winston Churchill was very charming to watch on Screen
- The Ironside Dalek design is really nice
- Umm...the voice of the Paradigm Daleks..
- The Scene where the Doctor says to Amy "tell me you remember the Daleks..." with the crack music is flipping amazing!!
Things I Didn't Like:
- I just wasn't as engaged with the plot, kinda meh
- it felt like the Daleks where there for 5 seconds and then just buggered off
- I hate to say this about my favourite Tardis Team but 11 and Amy felt kinda off, particularly Amy :( Although KG DEFINITELY redeems herself in other episodes!
Doctor Who: Smith and Jones (2007)
Fun!!!
This episode for me is very fun, as it explores a unique and dynamic environment (that being a hospital on the moon) as well as introducing one of the most iconic nuwho aliens being the Judoon. Id also say that David Tennant as the 10th Doctor has a much better character here compared to him in s2, along side Martha Jones who is probably my 2nd favourite companion (after Amy pond) due to her strong, independent nature, which I love the exploration of through s3, s4 and s2 of torchwood. I also thing Mrs Finnagan (sorry idk the actresses name but I know her from corrie) also performed this well!

Doctor Who: Amy's Choice (2010)
Cool concept!
Dreams - in Doctor Who.... What an interesting concept. Following character plots such as the Doctor, Amy, Rory 'love triangle' is perfectly intertwined with in this episode. This IS the episode which makes it clear that Amy will always put Rory first. Also....is the dream lord the valeyard..... a shadow of timelord victorious.... Please bring the dream lord back!!! Also the Amy pregnancy is something quite interesting that's been done to a companion. As always all performances are done greatly by all cast. Especially Toby Jones who PLAYS the dream lord. I love the fact that this almost mirrors the eleventh Doctor!
