A while ago I posted ten of my favourite Doctor Who episodes. Since then, I found a lot more that I liked. So here’s another list of ten favourite Doctor Who episodes.

Note, spoilers!

Asylum of the Daleks

The Story: The Doctor, Amy and Rory meet Oswin Oswald – who later becomes important to, and is one of my favourite characters on, the show. Along the way, the Doctor helps to fix Amy and Rory’s marriage.

Why I love it:

• The story of Oswin and her humour. “Is there a word for total screaming genius that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy?”
• Also, the first time we hear “Run you clever boy, and remember.” (>>)

The Snowmen

The Story: One of the Christmas specials where we meet Clara Oswald, a governess in the Victorian Era.They investigate sentient snowmen and the Doctor starts on the mystery that is Clara.

Why I love it:

• More Clara, I love her as a companion, she’s spunky and a bit of the Doctor’s equal. I also loved that she doesn’t swoon over him!
• Madame Vastra, Jenny, and Strax – love these three!
• Victorian England (>>)

The Day of the Doctor

The Story: The Doctor and Clara are taken by UNIT where they receive a message from Elizabeth 1. The 10th incarnation of the doctor and doctor prime(? original?) also make an appearance. This episode focused a lot on the time lords and Gallifrey.

Why I love it:

• I liked the glimpse into the time war.
• I loved that this had a little bit of everything, from future travel to past travel.
• Also, David Tennant. (>>)

Listen

The Story: What if there was an entity that was so good at hiding that you never realised it exists? Also, what’s that under your bed?

Why I love it:

• Thoroughly frightening – at least in the beginning.
• Loved the way the stories ties to the nightmare of someone hiding under the bed, ready to grab your feet.
• Peter Capaldi’s portrayal of the doctor in this episode is great. (>>)

Time Heist

The Story: Think Ocean’s 11, but the most dangerous – and well protected – bank in the galaxy. Along with memory-wiping worms.

Why I love it: 

• The “smartness” of the heist, especially when we find out why it happened.
• The way some of the past Doctor  Who episodes were referenced.
• Overall thrill of the episode. (>>)

Kill the Moon

The story: After crash landing on the moon in the future, the doctor, Clara and one of Clara’s students, Courtney, try to figure out what’s going on on the moon before astronauts can blow it up.

Why I love it:

• There is only one reason I love this episode, and that’s because the moon is a dragon in an egg, waiting to hatch! (>>)
