Doctor Who - Season 8

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SEASON 8

First of all, I have no idea how I'm going to wait nine months for more Doctor Who, where's a handy time machine when you need it!!

Overall, I really really liked Season 8. Peter Capaldi is an amazing Doctor, possibly my favourite yet.  At first, I wasn't sure whether I would really like him, when it was announced that Peter Capalidi would be playing The Doctor, I was like 'what! he's a bit old, I want someone young and goodlooking like Matt Smith,' (shallow I know, I like to think I've grown as a person since then). After his eyebrows showed up in the 50th I started to change my mind however. Then I saw him in The Musketeers (which is a great show by the way) I knew he was going to be amazing, and he was and long story short I will not be judging anyone's potential in a role based on their age again. I love the sarcasm and the Scottishness and the attack eyebrows.

Clara however, not so much. I've tried really hard to like Clara, but it just doesn't seem to work sometimes. Some episodes she's alright, and I think, maybe Clara's not so bad after all, and then she totally ruins it by being all judgemental and hypocritical and overall annoying. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Jenna Louise Colman, it's just that I don't like the way Clara is portrayed as a character. For example, one minutes she's judging The Doctor for not listening to people and always making choices on others behalf's then the next minute she's doing it herself. For example, in Kill The Moon she asks the peoples of the world what they want her to do about the giant moon egg, they're all like 'please kill it we don't want to die' and Clara is basically like 'LOL no, I do what I want' and totally ignores them. And her lowest point (well one of them anyway) is at the end of that same episode, she's been going on at The Doctor for not letting her make decisions or whatever, so he goes away and lets her run the show for once and when he comes back she lays into him for being patronising and abandoning her. Get a life Clara, stop judging The Doctor, he's much older and wiser than you and is a bit better qualified to make decisions that involve the lives of everyone on earth.
Sorry about that rant, I had to get it out of my system somehow.
To be fair though, she did have some good moments, I really liked her in Flatline, Robots of Sherwood and the Finale and the Christmas Special.

My favourite episodes in Season 8 are as follows:

• Robots of Sherwood: This episode was really light-hearted and funny. I loved the witty banter between Robin and The Doctor. "I am The Doctor and this is my spoon" is possibly one of my favourite quotes in the whole season.
• Flatline: I thought this was the creepiest episode in a while and I love the creepy episodes. The moving 2D creatures were sort of terrifying, also the nervous system wall pictures. Loved the Addams Family reference :)
• Dark Waters/Death in Heaven: These episodes were full of things I did not expect!!! Missy pretty much took me by surprise! Also, I cried quite a bit at the end. Yes, Doctor Who makes me cry, don't get me started on Vincent and The Doctor.

I might do some longer and more detailed reviews of individual episodes later.
I cannot wait for Season 8 and more awesome acting from Peter Capaldi :)
In the meantime 'Don't be lasagna!'
