Comments: The Ivory Coast West Africa, Pacific, Moscow and other places agents are being attacked. These are no ordinary attacks.
The Companions are recruited. Than the Dr. herself. What is going on? Than the excitement starts. MI6 and all security agency's need the Dr.'s help. The Dr is under attack by somethings. The Dr. has no idea what and she wants to know.
The show has a deadly serious threat and it still keeps its fun laughable side. The alien invaders up the anti they want it all and they are all but impossible to stop. Something weird is going on.
Its all about spies. The Dr. in her version of a tux is so cute. She would put Bond to shame. A motorcycle car chase is exciting and fun.
This is Dr. Who at its best.
Wow you will never ever see this coming. Wow twists and turns and unexpected surprises wow this show is amazing. Dr. Who is normally full of the unexpected but here you will be left stunned with your mouth on the floor shaking your head. You will never in a million years see this coming.
Dr. Who is one huge mystery within a mystery and thrills beyond this world. The Dr. will see you now.

Comments: The recap gets your blood flowing this is Doctor Who at its finest. The excitement has just begun.
Wow the Doctor is totally beaten yet somehow she is not. There are mysteries going on. The Doctor is hard at work solving them.
The villain here is finding out the Doctor is not easily understood. As are you the watcher. Things just keep happening. You will not be able to look away as the show keeps you so focused on it.
Ada is a wonderful character who ends up helping the Doctor. She is exciting and intelligent. With the evil Master after them both her and the Doctor have to be ready for anything. Nora joins in the fun and she is another strong female.
The conversation between the Doctor and the Master is engrossing. It gives as many questions as answers.
When the Doctor gets going and has her plan she does get going and nothing can stop her. Well then you will doubt as things heat up and speed up the end is approaching. There is nothing that can be done. Your heart will be pounding as the thrill fills you is this the end?
The Doctor is amazing you never know what is going to happen next. The inventive ways she uses her knowledge will have you thinking.
The Master hints at something in this episode that gets to the Doctor. New information about the Timelords comes out here.
The Doctor and her companions though as usual end up continuing on to their next adventure.

Comments: The team transport to Tranquility Spa for a vacation of rest and relaxation. Of course this being Dr. Who chances are that is not going to happen. Things do start happening once she arrives.
A horrific monster is on the loose. People are in deadly danger. They are trapped and who can help them well the Doctor can. Things are not as they first seem. Which suits this series so well.
The Dregs appear as monsters but are they? The Doctor gets everyone running as she is saving everyone that she can. The Dregs now these beasts are mutants and they are portrayed as the planets Apex Killers. They do what they have to to survive.
Things do get moving fast and the action is thrilling as the danger mounts. The Dregs are so well presented as a threat. Yet they are not what they first appear to be and the Doctor does what she does best she brings the truth to light. The Doctor as any doctor does do she works to save lives.
The message for this episode is that you and the human race in whole should be the best you can be. That is all anyone can do.
Doctor Who is a show about hope.

Comments: Nikola Tesla is a man driven to inventing and providing energy. He cares.
Things start happening around Tesla and people dying. So of course the Dr. shows up. They end up on the Orient Express. When the Dr. shows up things amp up. There is always running involved to. Plus some mystery. The Dr. does make a great detective.
Of course aliens are involved. Or at least alien technology.
The Dr. and Tesla do share a moment about their being similar. Both are outsiders.
Edison is here as well. He is presented as one stuck up blow hard with an attitude.
When things take a turn in this episode they really do. Aliens abound as they want Tesla and they get him. The aliens however you are expecting them to look this is not it. These aliens by going after Tesla are taking on the Dr.
The Dr., Tesla and Edison and her Companions vs giant intelligent alien scorpions. The aliens look amazing. The Dr. even more so. In a fight of brains vs brawn the Dr. wins every time.
Tesla is so inspiring. He may not be as famous as Edison but he was and is just as brilliant if not more so.
It is wonderful to see the Dr. working with another brilliant mind and having her make sure they stay alive and inventing. Plus seeing the Dr. and her technology inspires others. She does that the Dr. She inspires us all to be better.

Comments: A tour guide Ruth is shown and she is a wonderful character, so full of life and happy.
Than a squad of alien police the Judoon beam down to Earth. They are very military in their actions. As they search a city the Doctor shows up of course. She has a take charge attitude.
Graham meanwhile finds himself in a unexpected situation. A old character from the past shows up and he is full of excitement. He has a message for the Doctor a warning.
The Doctor is looking for information so she can help those in need. She always does so because she realizes the power of knowledge.
Commander Gat is gorgeous and the one in charge of the Judoon. Now things are never what they seem and that is the case here. The Commander wants someone but who?
Wow just wow the turn this story takes will simply blow your mind. Wow not in a million trillion years will you see this coming. The humor this leads to is so funny in a deadly serious way.
Her companions say it best she is the Doctor. Enough said.

Comments: It is the 21st Century in this episode. Things are happening fast, weird things. Space craft, campers and birds what do they all have in common?
The Doctor and her companions are out and about looking for something. The strange just keeps happening and the Doctor is investigating. The Doctor does seem to have fun while facing these mysteries. There is a connection and it is explosive.
It is so engrossing watching the Doctor work. It is impossible to look away. What is up with all the birds?
The Doctor this episode gets to act a lot like a medical doctor.
So much keeps going on you do not get a chance to catch your breath. Yes the birds attack. They are part of something bigger going on. Aliens are sort of involved.
We also see the human spirit stepping up and a hero in action. We also see love endures anything even a stubborn man.
This is one enjoyable adventure that will leave you feeling good about being human and being apart of the human race.
Yes the Doctor may be an alien Timelord yet she is all to human. Which is a good thing.

Comments: A monster is on the attack and after the Doctor. In 1380 Syria the Doctor tries to solve the mystery. Meanwhile her companions are visiting their homes.
Now a mysterious man is stalking the Doctor and her companions but for what reason? Zelin is his name and he is like a god. He has power. Yet he is the servant. The female is the deadliest of the species. The Doctor is used here. So its two gods against one Doctor, I know who I'd put my money on. The Doctor faces these so called gods to protect humanity. One Doctor and a few humans do beat two immortal gods. Humanity can face its nightmares and control them to with a little help maybe.
This episode was going along being exciting and all like most are. Than after all the excitement dies down Yasmin is featured as we see a part of her past. The emotional response she brings out and the police woman she had met three years ago make this episode special.
This episode focuses on her companions and their family that they leave behind to go on these fantastic out of this world and time adventures. They are living a life that most could only dream of. The Doctor is their guide through that life. She keeps them safe while everyone has the greatest adventure of their lives.

Comments: Lord Byron and Mary Wollstonecraft and some friends spend a stormy night together. The Lord begins a tale of terror. A knocking at the door brings a scare and a laugh.
The Doctor and her companions pop into when Frankenstein was written. The mansion is a dark and foreboding place. Something wicked prowls the halls of the mansion.
What is going on inside this house? Is it haunted? Things start happening and fast. Something is playing with the people's minds.
Something totally unexpected is behind it all. The Doctor's encounter with it turns violent. This solder is almost unstoppable.
The Doctor has a Vulcan Mind Meld ability. This is new. She also has a Vulcan Death grip.
The battle here is an epic one for the future. Sometimes even the Doctor can not win. Well in the first part but round two. The first round here moves a little to slowly after the initial action.
The Doctor even gets a poem written about her. Well she is one unique woman unlike anyone else in existence. No one is even close.

Comments: A couple find and raise a boy. They do love him. He grows into a fine young man. Right from the start it is easy to tell there is something special about him.
In the far future the Doctor and Ryan, Yasmin and Graham find the last humans. They get ready for an attack. Something is coming. The Cybermen are deadly. The Cybermen have the Doctor cornered and she does the unexpected of course.
There is always something going on. The Doctor and her companions are always on the move.
Graham and Yas along with a couple other humans find a ship. This ship carries a danger.
When you see the Cybermen you will feel fear at these non emotional beings. Well accept for one of them. The one with emotions he is evil. He is beyond your normal Cybermen.
Things pick up as the Cybermen are ready for all out war. The Doctor has found something to help them escape the Cybermen or has she. Things change and fast and then even faster everything goes to hell. The surprises just keep coming.
This is Dr. Who as it was meant to be. You never know what is coming and just when you think you do something entirely different happens that you never saw coming and could not.
It is not just who but what is coming next?

Comments: The Master and the Doctor spend some time alone together. The companions meanwhile are trying to stay alive against Cybermen.
Graham and Yaz share a moment. He is almost like her father in how they treat each other.
The Master and the Doctor are enemies who are fairly equally matched. One does get the upper hand but they do go back and forth.
This episode fills in some facts about the planet Gallifrey home of the Time Lords. It also adds more mystery. Things are changed. What is revealed here will change the Doctor forever. It does certainly explain a few things about the Doctor.
The Master and the Cyberion join forces. Their army is invincible.
It is wonderful to see the bravery of the last humans and the Doctor's human companions.
Is the Doctor finally beaten? When the Doctor gets going watch out. Her mind is a powerful thing more powerful than any weapon. If it is turned against you, run, run fast. The doctor is clever.
As the Doctor puts her plan into place things start moving fast. Until they slow down. You can feel the tension thicken. The Doctor does run, yes she runs as only the Doctor could. Things move faster and evil finds itself afraid.
The end to this episode will leave you going, What!
