We celebrate the Peter Capaldi era by revisiting the 12th Doctor's adventures as we count down the days to his last adventure.

Doctor Who:

"I don't know whether you're here to invade, infiltrate, or just replace us. I don't suppose it really matters now. You are monsters! That is the role you seem determined to play. So it seems that I must play mine: The man that stops the monsters."

When Steven Moffat told writer of Kill the Moon Peter Harness to Hinchcliffe the $#@% out of it I don’t think he meant that one story but I believe he meant Series 8 in general.  In fact Flatline is the closest a new Who story has come to achieving this and it would make Robert Holmes smile.  I’m sure he is smiling from heaven as Jamie Mathieson has so far been able to replicate his style of horror in Doctor Who.

Doctor Who – Flatline - Review - Spoilers

By Ken Parker

We may be enjoying the best season of Doctor Who since its return in 2005. The episodes have been consistent and absent of major issues all around. While I am still nervous at the Missy plotline, I have chosen to more or less ignore that for now. Certainly the stories have been focused and void of the frantic frenzy of episodes from the past like “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” and “A Good Man Goes to War.” The stories are succinct and to the point and have had various themes including feelings toward soldiers and what they do for a living to the need for the Doctor to sacrifice others for the survival of the majority. These themes have helped form the personality of this Doctor along with his own eccentricity and attitudes.

Clara has also developed an unhealthy addiction of sorts with her travels with the Doctor and has disliked what Doctor 12 has been doing of late. Soon something will give and all will be revealed. With only three more episodes after “Flatline” one has to imagine that the answers will be coming soon. Will “Flatline” set up the endgame for the season? Will the Doctor and Clara have another falling out or could we be seeing the two of them changing their ways?
