Doctor Who:
The Rebel Flesh/ The Almost People
By Matthew Graham
"Don't be. Hold on. We're coming for you. I swear it. Whatever happens, however hard, however far, we will find you."
When I heard the news that
Matthew Graham was writing an episode for Doctor Who a two parter in fact I was
eager to see this story by the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes creator and writer
but then
my memory recalled back to the
David Tennant episode Fear Her and then I was a bit hesitant on seeing the
Rebel Flesh. So far after watching part one my fears were succumbed by an
excellent episode. So far this season
Steven Moffat has crafted a season with dark and scarier episodes with a lot of
weird stuff thrown in. I tend to like
those episodes the scarier the better.
Matthew Graham has delivered your
typical old school Doctor Who episode where there is a sentient race that wants
to continue existing and will stop at nothing to get it including killing the
humans. But this one is slightly
different as it is a race of clones that get sentient from a cosmic storm
accident that makes the clones permanent.
That's when things get really intense and pretty scary as the clones are
now out and about and want to make the humans disappear.
