Tonight (29/09/12) the mid season finale of Doctor Who aired
in the UK. This episode was written by Steven Moffat, and due to his track
record with episodes you just knew from the offset that it was going to be a
tear jerker. The Angels Take Manhattan was one of the most beautifully written
episodes of the new Doctor Who that I have ever seen. This summary will be
relatively spoiler free, as not everybody has had the chance to watch the
episode yet.

As the final episode to feature Amelia Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) the Whovian fandom didn’t know what to expect with their exit. Whilst completely heartbreaking, there was no other way Amy and Rory could have left the show. Their exit was in no way clichéd, and it completely did their characters justice. Through out the episode, their love for each other was completely obvious that you couldn't help but be happy with the way things ended. This was the best performance Matt Smith has given as the Doctor, the emotion he put into his performance was completely heart wrenching. It was close to the performance David Tennant did in Doomsday. Of course though, how could I forget River Song (Alex Kingston). She was her usual fantastic self, if not better.
The Weeping Angels were as terrifying as ever, so mentally prepare yourself for them. Also emotionally prepare yourself if you have not watched yet.
I cried my eyes out from 20 minutes in, and I am still occasionally tearing up, you have been warned at how heartbreaking it is.
Things needed to survive this episode:
- A cushion (To hide behind)
- A box of tissues (for when you start crying your eyes out)
- Ice Cream (for emotional support)
