It was also great to have The Doctor really in peril. In a season of nonlinear events, seat of the pants adventure, and parcel out plot developments., it was good to have something that felt familiar. But, I will see how their story unfolds before passing judgment.īut most of all, I liked how this story felt like a standalone piece. I am not sure how I feel about them being agents of The Division or operating for anyone else. After being almost comical in previous stories, the Angels have some added dynamics that make them a match for the TARDIS crew. It was great to see a terrifying version of the Weeping Angels. I am hoping the payoff is as good and the buildup. I also liked the continued backstory for Bel and Vinder. His scenes with Whittaker were also outstanding. Fearless, inquisitive, loyal, and determined to protect the Doctor and Claire, his debut helped propel the drama.
I am hoping we see more of her in the coming weeks. Moving forward, we will undoubtedly get more information on who she is and how she first met the Doctor. We had not seen much of her in previous chapters but, here she made an impact. The season has seen her settle into her version of the character and create a very dynamic Doctor.Īnnabel Scholey was great as Claire. It was great to see Jodie Whittaker get some good material to work with. However, I was thrilled to discover it is the best story of the current season. First, the Weeping Angels haven’t been scary for quite a while, and second, we have seen a lot of running around over the previous weeks, which led me to believe this story would be no different.
With Village of the Angels, I had some concerns. Winding the bend for Season 13, expectations are getting higher and higher for stories that are entertaining, fresh, and different from things we’ve seen before.
