Episode Summaries under the cut

127: The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood - Season 5, Episodes 8 & 9: The Doctor, Amy, and Rory arrive in the year 2020, 10 years in Amy and Rory's future. They see their future selves standing on a hill waving at them. They learn that recently bodies have been going missing from graves, and that a nearby mining project has been experiencing some anomalies. A hole appears in the floor and Amy is sucked into the ground. From the mining readings, the Doctor sees that there is something deep underground that has had it's defense mechanisms set off, and that something is coming up. They capture one of the creatures, which the Doctor reveals to be a Silurian, an intelligent reptilian race that inhabited the Earth long before humans. The Silurian reveals that her race has been hibernating under the Earth for millenia, but that the drilling brought the warriors out of suspended animation. The Doctor takes one of the scientists down the Silurian city to find Amy and the other taken humans.

The Doctor negotiates for the return of the human hostages in exchange for their Silurian one. Unknown to them, on the surface one of the humans kills the Silurian for poisoning her father. Amy and the human scientist begin negotiations with the Silurians for potential places they could occupy on Earth, like deserts, while the Silurians provide them with advanced technology. Negotiations break down after they discover that the Silurian hostage has been killed. The Silurian warriors attack, but a Silurian scientist, seeing that peace with humans is possible, but maybe not at this moment, releases a gas to force Silurians back into hibernation for another 1,000 years.

Getting ready to flee in the TARDIS, a crack in time appears in the wall opposite it, and one of the Silurian warriors shoots Rory. As he lays dying, time energy from the crack begins pulling him in, and the Doctor drags Amy back into the TARDIS. He tries to help her focus on remembering Rory, as the crack will erase him from existence, changing her memories, but the TARDIS being disturbed by the drill causes her to lose focus and forget Rory. They return to the surface and Amy waves goodbye to her future self, who now stands alone.

130: Sleep No More - Season 9, Episode 9: The episode is shot in a found footage style, as a rescue crew investigates the disappearance of the crew of a space station. They discover the Doctor and Clara aboard the station s well, wondering why it is empty. They are attacked by two creatures who seem to be made up of dust. They discover a machine that gives you a full night of sleep in just a few moments, an invention to allow workers to continue working without long breaks to rest. They discover another human trapped in one of the other pods, the one who's been narrating the found footage. He reveals himself as the inventor of the pods. The Doctor realizes that the creatures they fought are made up of eye mucus that normally builds up when people sleep, but the machines allowed them to evolve into sentience. The Doctor also discovers footage from the crews perspective, but is informed that they don't have any cameras on their helmets. Seeing footage from even Clara's perspective, he determines that using the sleep pods allows the dust monsters to see from their eyes, which they've been using the track them. They discover that the inventor has been creating the creatures on purpose and led the rescue team here to spread the infection back to the rest of humanity. The Doctor sets the station to self destruct, and he and Clara escape in the TARDIS, while the dust monsters, impersonating the inventor, send a message to humanity.

This is going to sound embarassing but just now I've discovered that Vastra isn't the same person as that one Silurian from Cold Blood/The Hungry Earth.

Like, I literally just assumed there was some line or minisode I missed that explained why she suddenly was besties with The Doctor and why she now lives in London during the 19th century and I've never felt like searching for it.

#in my defense they look like the exact same and the revival actually tried to give the Silurians different designs from each other #they aren't sontarans #doctor who #madame vastra #the hungry earth #moffat era

i don't know if i'm at all comfortable with the lizardperson-ification of indigenous people as a concept (but afaik this is a reintroduced creature from the 70s, so...) however in any case the politics here are on quite shaky ground (pun very much intended). fun little two parter if you don't try to deep it (because you realise there's not much footing other than typical 'let's all get along'liberalism to go by) anyway the silurians are. attractive! i would return the earth to them any day. land back

oh and it's written by... ah i've heard that name before i'll hear it again. of what i've seen so far all of his episodes have been consistently mid in my books. not a good look for a future showrunner

Doctor Who 5:8

Elliott (a very smart young lad who quotes Sherlock Holmes: "I can't do the words, I'm dyslexic"

The Doctor: "that's ok Elliot I can't make a decent meringue. Draw like your life depends on it."

This is the kind of representation I adore.

Episode Summaries under the cut

2: Vincent and the Doctor - Season 5, Episode 10: While taking Amy to an art museum, the Doctor sees something odd in a Van Gogh painting, so they go to the past to meet him. They find that an invisible creature has been killing women in the town, but that Vincent is able to see it. They take Vincent to the church from the painting they saw in the future, where they encounter the creature again. Vincent kills the creature while trying to stop it from killing them, and they mourn it's death.

Knowing that it is just a few short months until Vincent commits suicide, they decide to take him in the TARDIS to see how his art is one day celebrated. Vincent becomes emotional upon seeing his work in the museum, and they return him to the past. Going to the museum again, Amy hopes that they've changed the past and that there will be hundreds more paintings from a now long-lived Vincent. Sadly, he still died when he normally would have, and the only thing they changed was a small painting of sunflowers where Vincent has written "For Amy"
