Using the always trusty sonic screwdriver, he reenters the locked house and frantically calls for Amelia. The Doctor shows up again on what he presumes is a slightly tardy next morning.
She patiently sits by the spot where the TARDIS disappeared. Amelia is absolutely enthralled by the Doctor, and packs up a child’s suitcase complete with teddy bear, presumably to take up residence in the TARDIS indefinitely where she will be able to enjoy the swimming pool and the library. The Doctor recognizes the grave danger of the situation and pops off for “five minutes” in the still-ailing TARDIS with the promise of an immediate return. (Isn’t an inter-dimensional fault in the space-time continuum just always the way?) The aforementioned voice is searching for “Prisoner Zero,” and temporarily prying open the hole in the wall reveals a giant eye that is on the lookout for the escapee.
#CRACK IN TIME DOCTOR WHO CRACK#
His craving sated, the Doctor examines the crack in Amelia’s bedroom wall and determines that it’s an inter-dimensional fault in the space-time continuum. After vehemently and comically rejecting a few foods, the doctor settles on a delicious combination of custard and fish sticks. The transparent attempt at subterfuge matters little like I said: charm-ooze.Īs Amelia cooks for the hungry Doctor who is trying to learn the preferences of his new taste buds, we learn that she lives with an in absentia aunt. Hold on - this little girl is the new companion? Didn’t we read that Scottish lass Karen Gillan has the job? Well, they both have red hair, and this is a show that features time-travel, so I’d say the jig is up fairly quickly on that one, Mr. Now I must interject within the interjection. I must interject that said bonding is one of the more charming introductions for both a Doctor and his companion in the program’s history. Still feeling those pesky physical aftereffects of regeneration, our new disheveled Doctor emerges from the wreckage and bonds instantly with Amelia. One evening Amelia prays to Santa for help with this problem (a nice non-denominational entreaty for those of us who are heathens), and her request is seemingly answered by the crash-landing of the TARDIS in her yard. There’s a near miss for the Doctor’s groin with the top of Big Ben that had me wincing in anticipation, but - fear not, fellow Whovians - the great Steven Moffat is our new show-runner, and he has proven that when it comes to writing episodes of Doctor Who (see “The Empty Child” / “The Doctor Dances,” “The Girl in the Fireplace,” “Blink,” and “Silence in the Library” / “Forest of the Dead”), he is not one for the lowbrow.Īfter we are treated to a new rendition of the appropriately timeless Doctor Who theme, we meet Amelia Pond, a young girl who has an unsettling crack in her bedroom wall from which foreboding voices emanate. I’m worse than everybody’s aunt.”Īnd…we’re off! Thrown right into the action, we find the TARDIS in flames, and our new Doctor (Who? That youngster Matt Smith!) is dangling out the open door of his signature police box as it careens wildly over London.
