10/10
The Chase in on, in this scientific hit!
6 March 2024
"Human Nature" is a fantastic episode of Doctor who, it's twisted, it's complicated and it's a nice change of pace. Where the Doctor isn't being the Doctor, in fact, he's living as a human. Hence the title. It's a perfectly sofisticated story that has depth and creativity oozing out of the episode. And Allonsy! As I review they.

Doctor is being chased by something, and we don't quite no what it is. So he has to hide himself from these chasers who are trying to destroy him, as they usually try to do, without succeeding. The Doctor is put with a challenge, and has to make a decision about how he's going to hide. He decides to turn himself into a human, by removing his two-hearts he successfully terns into a fully fleshed human.

The old design of the school is truly groundbreaking, with a dash even a hint of new modern building. That's old, and has been through many decades. But, yes the building does look very nice. And the Doctor as a teacher seems very new, but is cleverly linked with Seasons 2 "School Reunion" and Season 8's "The Caretaker" so it very much works fundamentally here. I like how Martha is now a cleaner of the school. I love these segments of the school, every person seems to be completely different to one another being very well fleshed out on their own terms. Everything just seems to move smoothly and swiftly and I enjoy it's brisk pacing, along with the theme. It all feels cleverly layed out and formatted in a way that's easy to understand.

The theme is before the War, and each kids take part in shooting practise getting prepared for the war when it does eventually take place. And the scene is beautiful it almost looks like a scene from a book, with some beutiful landscapes and the amount of scenery taking place. Adding layers to the simple side of the story, and I like that. The war is also an interesting topic to focus on and it works very well here. The target practise, the formally dressed headteacher of the school is very well in shape and making sure the kids are doing well. And alas they do.

The Doctor is also in love here, and thinks of starting a family. However, as we all know that can't happen. He's the Doctor after all. The episode even shows a book hand-drawn by him, giving us slight hints of change. That he could change back, and a book about the Monsters he's seen, only in his dreams. As he's forgotten all about the old times, that's why he's human. And how he's surprisingly able to hide. Unfortunately for him, some Nosey bloke that seems to think the Doctors behaviour is slightly questionable he is able to find a time capture. Where it shows the Doctors past, where then the chasers are able to find where the Doctor is.

An aircraft piles down, and scarecrows get controlled on. And now, the Monsters have found the Doctor. The scarecrows kidnap any walkers going through the beutiful farm land. And turning the beutiful scenery of the farm, a place you like to go, into a frightful experience. Now, the Doctor must change. Otherwise, all hell will break loose. And the Scarecrows will take form and brutally trap people. Something unsophisticated, turned into some raised questions by it's audience and the anticipation of what's going to happen next, sofisticating even the simple parts of the story.

The Family of Blood have tracked down the Doctor. Now, he is almost certainly in danger of something bad happening. And the episode almost ends on a positive not when they are all at a party. But, Martha keeps trying to say that he's the Doctor. And now they have been spotted, and that leads to the Family of Blood crashing and causing havoc on the party-goers who are now surrounded by Scarecrows and dark unhinged people, if you like. And that leads the end of the episode on a climax. I just love the high tailed drama, even horror and how sofisticated this episode is. With many great scenes.

Now, Would I recommend this Episode?

10/10 A true MASTERPIECE, you don't know what your missing, absolutely! Highly entertaining too!
