The doctor is BACK!
SoDoctor Whohas returned and boy are we excited.
After months of anticipation, speculating and general squealing The Doctor has come back into our lives.
What can we say?
The Whovians are needy.
So were still not sure how we feel in terms of the new opening.
TARDIS blue has been replaced with a firey red.
Well get used to it.
Just like we will get used to the new TARDIS.
The Doctor is not so gentle with his vehicle.
This episode was a very typicalDoctor Whoepisode in terms of plot.
A crazy thing begins going down in London and The Doctor swoops in and saves the day.
And thats ok. We like that.
We open with The Doctor as a medieval monk.
Hes sequestered himself away to contemplate the most important mystery of his life.
Who is Clara Oswin Oswald?
The monks tell him that the bells of Saint John are ringing and lead him to the TARDIS.
The bells of course, is the police telephone ringing.
And that usually doesnt happen.
So The Doctor answers and who is on the other end?
None other than Clara Oswin Oswald.

Clara Oswin Oswald.
Calling about how to use the internet.
This part of the episode wasnt particularly interesting.
So well sum it up here.
Clara has no idea who the Doctor is and it makes him pursue her in a super desperate manner.
You have RIVER SONG!!
Anyway, while this is going on for way too long, people are being sucked into the WiFi.
And they are being used as a web connection.
The plot is a little ridiculous to be honest.
It is just a vehicle for The Doctor to reconnect with Clara.
And this is the moral message of this episode.
And dont log onto mystery networks.
Because Clara has been connected to the evil WiFi data pipe she is now a computer expert.
Hence her intense computer skills in Asylum of the Daleks (Series 7, Episode 1).
We wonder if that means that everyone in London is also a computer expert now?
Here are some of the funDoctor Whotidbits, easter eggs and just general laughs.
One of the major Easter eggs comes from the novel that is referenced multiple times in the episode.
Clara talks about the book to one of the children she is nannying.
The author is none other than the lovely Amelia Williams.
We miss you Amy.
We also loved that The Doctor nursed Clara back to health with jammy dodgers.
But couldnt resist taking a bite out of one and leaving the rest there.
We love you Eleven!
Some other fun Eleven nonsense goes on including his fez and an emergency bowtie box.
The episode was fun but the plot was weak.
Are we the only ones kinda hoping this intrigue regarding Clara becomes resolved?
And we really hope this doesnt turn into another Doctor-companion love story.
And The Doctor is married.
To a woman who has already murdered him once.
And we like River Song more than we like Clara.
Hear that Steven Moffat?
We need our time traveling pansexual back.
