Doctor Who - Farewell Matt: The God Complex By @BlackAdder345
Doctor Who

“Praise Him.”
The Doctor, Amy
and Rory land in what appears to be a hotel. They are trapped there with four
other people. They soon discover they
each have a room which holds their deepest, darkest fears. Can The Doctor save everyone
or will they all be consumed by the strange creature which lurks in the shadows
and feeds off faith itself?
The plot of this
story is interesting but the episode did not live up to expectations. The
beginning is excellent and sets the story up well. However, the episode degenerates when the
Doctor and Co. run around corridors in a Scooby Doo fashion for no apparent
reason. The final scenes are not really
part of the story but more of the story arc and feel at best awkward. The scene
where The Doctor breaks Amy’s faith feels too reminiscent of The Curse of
Fenric when Mcoy’s Doctor has to break Ace’s faith in him or she will be
consumed by Fenric. The threat and the
way the scene is written feel too similar.
Amy and Rory’s apparent departure are well written but as I’ve said are
disjointed from the story. This makes
the whole episode a mongrel piece, mixing in drama, comedy and sadness.
Unfortunately, it is more like a first draft than a well polished script.
