Let’s get right too it. This is the best episode of the season and for me the best of Peter Capaldi’s run. Capaldi commands every iota of screen time given to him. This version of the Doctor has even learned how to stave off his regeneration so he can save the day.
Here we go! The two part finale of the season is here! Mondasian Cybermen are back. Be afraid, be very afraid. Plus a black hole with a gigantic spaceship trapped in a gravity well. Could this episode pack any more in? Well, thanks for asking…yes!
The Doctor (Peter Capaldi), Bill (Pearl Mackie) and Nardole (Matt Lucas) dive into the disappearance of the lost Ninth Roman Legion. Turns out Bill is a history buff who thinks the lost Romans marched away in 2nd century Scotland.
That’s what The Doctor, Bill, and Nardole find hidden on the Mar’s surface when they pop into NASA on a whim. And just like that our favorite Time Lord and friends are off on an adventure to Mars!
The exciting thing about “Extremis” is while the wonderful chemistry of The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Bill (Pearl Mackie) is still magical, The Doctor gets to shine in this episode.
There is so much story and great content “Oxygen” could have easily been a two-parter.
Wow! Four episodes into the season and thanks to great writing and the Doctor’s new companion Bill, a flawless season. Knock Knock is pretty close to the best haunted/creepy story since Blink. You’re in for a real treat with this tale.
