Something Strange In Your Spaceship, Who You Gonna Call?: Doctor Who "Under the Lake"





The Doctor and Clara take a trip to 2119 after a crew picks up an empty spaceship. But it's not any other spaceship; this one somehow brings in an alien ghost. Freaky Dicky!!

This ghost somehow kills one human and turns into a ghost-like figure with no eyes and a muted voice. But the Doctor was so thrilled to meet a ghost and that his thoughts that they couldn't boo a goose, which was one of the best quotes in the episode.

After taking another crew member, the gang decided to take off. But with the water leaking in, they have 30 seconds to get to the TARDIS before the doors close. Well, that splits Clara and the Doctor up, but how long will it take the Doctor to go back to see the event of the flood that had caused all of this and saved Clara and the rest of the crew?

That will have to wait til the next episode. Plus, will the Doctor succeed? If the ghost figure of the Doctor outside the ship would probably give some doubts.

I very much enjoyed this episode. I am amazed and worried about how Clara has acted since this episode began by getting pumped up to travel in time and space. I've never seen anything like that since maybe season seven, but on the other hand, she was never so enthusiastic before. I'm a bit worried.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.
