Doctor Who #11 (2011-2012)


  Trapped in an alien asylum, the Doctor and the Ponds find themselves in quite the predicament. The inmates, who have had their minds transplanted into a race of sentient vegetables are revolting. The station is set to self destruct. Oh, and the Doctor and Amy find themselves in a Freaky Friday situation with Amy declaring a fondness for a good Fez and the Doctor living his ultimate wish - he's finally ginger!

   I liked the transferred minds of Amy and the Doctor aspect of this story. It was the best part. Very funny… too bad that this was never done live action.

  I was not a fan of the zombie apocalypse vein. I didn't quite feel sympathy for them. Yeah, unwarranted mind control is wrong but these guys went about it all wrong. You want people to be sympathetic to your cause, mass murder that also results in your suicide isn't the way to do it.

  A story that should've been fun and instead morphs into a morality play that ironically neuters the Doctor…

Rating:  6 out of 10 stars.
