1. The Doctor's Wife
Like all the best episodes of Who this one simultaneously plays up the macabre and tugs on the heart strings in a thoroughly unique fashion. The greatest thing about Doctor Who is that it is a show that can do anything and be anything, and this episode takes full advantage of the infinite possibilities. The Doctor's Wife is full of neat ideas the patchwork people are sickening yet brilliant, their absurd personalities proving unnerving while their stitched-up bodies horrify. Amy and Rory's journey through a dark, deceptive TARDIS is actually scary too. We watch them getting tested physically and mentally as they try to survive the psychotic mind that is playing with them but the best idea of all is the one that provides the emotional core of the episode. The most important relationship the Doctor has is with his TARDIS. They're the only two things to appear in every Doctor Who story, so to see him get to talk to her is an exciting opportunity that pulls from Matt Smith one of his best performances as the Eleventh Doctor. The Doctor's love for the TARDIS is shown on screen to be pure and innocent. He is a boy again in her company, eager to impress and quick to invest his entire heart in their relationship. As a result, the sight of his face when at last he must say good bye to her is doubly heartbreaking because of the vulnerability that Smith brings to his performance. The episode contains all you could want from a Doctor Who story and is, in my opinion the greatest of Matt Smith's era. So that's what I think. What do you think? Feel free to comment!
