Doctor Who - 01x02 The end of the World

07. July 2013

I won’t write about every single episode, I’m not very good at writing. Especially in English. It’s not my native language, so please excuse if I’m making some mistakes.

I’ll pick some episodes I want to write and talk about.

So let’s start! I skip the first episode (of the new series) and begin with “The end of the World”. This episode is very special to me, ‘cause it was the first episode of Doctor Who I’ve ever seen! Before that I didn’t know anything about the show, but I fell in love immediately. 

The Doctor and Rose travel 5 billion years into the future to watch the end of the earth, surrounded by strange Aliens. 

And we also meet the face of Boe for the first time, without knowing he will return several times. That’s something I really like about rewatching shows, all the little thing I didn’t notice or didn’t understand the first time. Oh, and of course we meet Cassandra, too. Moisturize me!

It also had some very funny moments, like the Doctors extempore gift, the air from his lungs. Loved that! And when Cassandra brought the “I-Pod” in and played “Tainted Love” (great song!).

 

It’s the second episode and people are already dying. Raffalo, who had nothing to do with that. She was just doing her job. And a few others die, too. I always feel sorry for them, but that’s something you have to deal with when you’re watching Doctor Who, people are dying. And then Jabe dies

Another great thing about rewatching shows is, that you can pay more attention to the things that aren’t important for the episode, to all the information the Doctor gives about his life.

Like when he tells Jabe that he was on the titanic and ended up clinging to an iceberg.

And one of the best moments of this episode was when Cassandra plays a traditional ballad of the earth. And it’s “Toxic” by Britney Spears! I find this very funny. Just imagine, in a few thousand years, people would listen to todays pop songs and believe that they were great tradiotional songs and the best pieces of humans music.

And I think the Doctor really likes holding hands. He always does that.

So, just imagine you’ve never even heard about Doctor Who, and then you see that! Timetravel, Spaceships, Aliens, the earth exploding… I can’t really remember what I thought when I watched it for the first time, but, like I already said, I fell in love with that show. It just had something special about it.

I think the next episode I’ll write about will be “The Shakespeare Code”. I loved the Harry Potter references!

That’s all!
