Forest of the Dead - Episode Review
I am going to build a shrine to Steven Moffat.
Seriously.
The bloke is a genius and I love him to bits.
That was the first ever Who episode that has had been gaping at the screen in a mixture of shock, disbelief and amazement. That is the first ever Who episode that made me bounce up and down in anticipation and excitement, and it was the first ever ( Read more... )

Personally, I don't think Donna's bit was like HN/FoB, it wasn't really a happy domestic scene, because there were so many things wrong, and I love that sort of thing because it's really creepy. CT just excelled herself in this, the bit where her children disappear was completely heartbreaking.
I think if Doctor/River had been given more screentime they would have more chemistry. But since it was mostly running for their lives and checking to see if their friends have turned into skeletons or not, I suppose they didn't really have much time to have chemistry.
But you know what the best bit was? The Doctor snapping his fingers and the TARDIS opening and closing. YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU OPEN A 40TT PROPERLY, HE JUST NEVER KNEW.
I know, 900 years of travelling and he never thought to try snapping his fingers to open the TARDIS! *shakes head despairingly* :)

I thought that about the housewife thing at first, but then when she's says "I've been dieting!" I just thought that was so Donna.
A lot of their screen time was spent by River trying to establish the Doctor's trust, so when he meets her again he'll immediately trust her and there will be more chemistry.
Hehe, he probably could have saved a few regenerations if he'd known that! :)

... and then he might not have died. Oh why oh why did the Doc not find out how to do it before???
