User blog:Barry19/My Top 12 Series 9 Episodes

I just read MasterCharmander's blog, and I quite disagreed with it, so I decided to make my own! :P

Also, spoiler alert!

12. Sleep No More


I'm not a big fan of Mark Gatiss' Doctor Who stories. But this episode seemed okay. I was unsure about the filming style, though.

Then I watched it. Oh boy. It started pretty good, but then with the whole "the cameras are dust" thing, the extremely forgettable side characters (the entire episode I was trying to figure out who had died cause I just couldn't remember their names), and then the ending. Professor something being a Sandman himself was okay, but the rest of the ending...

What made it even worse was that this episode ruined the fact that every episode till now had been good. This may have been one of the weakest New Who episodes to date.

11. The Girl Who Died
Steven Moffat and Jamie Mathieson, two of Doctor Who's most finest writers, decide to write and episode together. And it features Maisie Williams! And space vikings! What could possibly go wrong?

A lot. I'm not saying this is a bad episode - I really enjoyed it - but I really had expected a lot more. The plot felt way to simple, and so did the conclusion of Odin. The Mire's through form was laughable.

The setting was good, however, and Ashildr was awesome, plus the ending was super! But I really had expected it to be quite a lot better. 10. The Woman Who Lived

The Woman Who Lived is a great episode. It had an interesting and quite unique setting, with good side characters and and awesome monster. What I love about this episode is how it manages to focus on Ashildr/Lady Me more than on the villain.

I've noticed that with a lot of episodes were they try to focus more on a character than on a villain it doesn't really go well. However, with this one, it was really done well, like The Caretaker. Even though this focussed more on Lady Me than on Leandro, it was really quite good.

The only reason it isn't high on the list, however, is because the other episodes are really good.

9. The Zygon Invasion
 

The first part of the awesome Zygon two parter was really quite good. We have the return of Osgood, several awesome locations, and quite a spy-movie feeling to it. Plus the return of the Zygons and a continuation of The Day of the Doctor's side plot!

This was a really cool episode with a good plot twist, and a brilliant first part! I found it a bit too slow-paced, however, and it missed a bit of action, but besides from that it was awesome!

PS: Until now the list has been pretty much the same as Andrew's! :P But that's about to change...
