Doctor Who:
The Doctor's Wife
By Neil Gaiman
"No. I just wanted to say hello. Hello, Doctor. It's so very, very nice to meet you."
Probably one of the most
anticipated stories of series, that isn't a series opener or closer, was The
Doctor’s Wife mainly for the person who wrote it. When I heard the news in 2011
that Neil Gaiman was writing an episode of Doctor Who I was pretty amazed that
someone of his talents would want to write for Doctor Who. As most people know Neil
Gaiman is the writer of such movies as Beowulf, Coraline, and Stardust. But to his fans he is most recognized for his
work on the incredibly popular The Sandman.
The Sandman is a 75 issue comic book story about Morpheus which was
published by Vertigo an imprint of DC Comics.
The Doctor's Wife boasted that
something from The War Games would be coming back. Well we have our answer in the appearance of
the Time Lord Hypercube. You remember
that device that the Second Doctor used to contact the Time Lords for
help. Well it's back and there are quite
a lot of them too. This must come as a
disappointment to those fans who speculated that the War Chief was coming
back. But I have to say it was a good
plot device to get the Doctor to come to the planet that has the House entity.
