Doctor Who: In the Forest of the Night (2014)
Season 8, Episode 10
4/10
Heavy Handed and not Good
27 October 2014
After a season where Clara takes the lead in most episodes, now the Doctor finds himself upstaged by a little girl and its more than a little bit embarrassing. As the episode progresses seemingly major character plot points that were built up as important in previous episodes fizzle away. Then the episode ends with the Doctor actually doing seemingly nothing worthwhile to save the world. This is also leading into a final that the end trailer makes look exciting, but this episode's bland badness leaves a linger stench that poisons any joy one might have for the final episode. No matter if you are enjoying this season or plodding through it just barely hanging on like me, you can just skip this one all together as it does nothing but bring this season down.
