Sorry about the uber late post, folks. It's been a crazy week. Here is your overdue recap of the last episode, "The Lodger". It goes without saying that there are plenty of SPOILERS for those who haven't watched yet. You have been warned.
The street may look like any other street, but on it resides the creepiest house ever. The perfect place for The Doctor to take up residence. After all, The Doctor seems to have a thing for dark and creepy places. That is where all the action tends to be. (One wonders where he learned to cook amidst all of those adventures). Speaking of which, this line basically summed up my criteria for future relationships - You're weird and you can cook - it's good enough for me. But back to the show…
It was odd having The Doctor and Amy being separated for a majority of the episode. Also odd was having The Doctor making an attempt at being "normal" - although that was the good kind of odd. His attempts were actually quite hilarious at times, especially the shower scene and him playing football. Overall the episode was abnormal in the amount of normality involved. There wasn't a lot of science fiction/fantasy involved (outside of the weird time loops and the spaceship that ended up being responsible for it all).
Favorite scene: It would have been The Doctor saving his new flatmate (b/c it reminded me of how he cured himself from when he was poisoned) but the scene where he shares details of his life via headbutt was pretty fantastic. Oh, and the final ten minutes were pretty fantastic as well. They were fun and kinda cheesy and everything Doctor Who should be. But that is just one blogger's opinion.
What did you think of this episode? I saw a few complaints online that it wasn't as good as the rest of the season (which is valid) but on its own I thought it was enjoyable enough. Feel free to agree/disagree in the comments section below.
