Doctor Who: Series Seven - Part Two (2013)

The Doctor kicks off this new run of adventures by searching for his companion Clara - an Impossible Girl he's already lost twice. Together they find themselves battling monsters on distant alien planets, trapped in a Russian submarine with a deadly passenger, chasing terrifying ghosts, delving into the heart of the TARDIS, facing the Crimson Horror in Victorian Yorkshire, and coming face to face with an army of upgraded Cybermen. The action grows and the Doctor's oldest secret threatens to be revealed as the world's longest running science fiction series builds toward its explosive 50th anniversary.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
When I first started watching the first season of Dr. Who starring Christopher Eccleston, I enjoyed it! It was fun and exciting and ingenious. However, the latest season is too dark and gloomy for my liking.

The Bells of St. John - Dr. Who displays 'righteous anger' many times whereas the villan seems to be more cool and composed! What happened to the fun loving Doctor?

The Rings of Akhaten - Again, the segment where the Doctor confronts the 'solar parasite' is too emotionally charged with anger. I felt it was more like watching Shakespeare than Dr. Who.

Cold War - Ok, not so much anger in this episode, but it was quite tedious to watch the Doctor trying to talk the Ice Warrior out of destroying earth. Not that I am looking for more action, but the whole dialogue was not convincing enough.

Hide - Perhaps one of the better episodes in this series. The fun-loving Doctor is back, and he travels to meet his 'idol' Emma Grayling. He then uses his TARDIS to help a stranded time traveller. That's the Doctor I used to love!

The Crimson Horror - Even the Doctor needs help sometimes! I think this episode demonstrates this beautifully.

Nightmare in Silver - Predictable storyline that you can see it coming from a mile away (when the Doctor suggested a chess match the intention was so obvious any fan would have picked it up). I felt the ending was a bit rushed.

The Name of the Doctor - How many girls need to disrupt the history of time in order to save the Doctor? Didn't Rose do that once by painting "Bad Wolf" all over time? The ending was both more depressing than it needs to be.
