I’m a relatively new Doctor Who fan. I started midway through David Tennant’s run as the Tenth Doctor. I’ve continued on with Matt Smith playing the Eleventh Doctor.
I like most of the episodes of this season (or series as it’s called in England) but my favorite was “Vincent and The Doctor”. It’s a beautiful, melancholy episode.
The story of the episode is basically The Doctor and his companion, Amy, travel back in time
to save Vincent Van Gogh from an alien creature that only Vincent can see. The creature ultimately plays a pretty small part in the story. I was okay with that. I watch shows for the characters and to get emotionally invested in them and what happens to them. The story was really the look at a brilliant and troubled man.
I already became a fan of Matt Smith and Karen Gillian (Amy) ...
