The Woman Who Lived review
As it is very late, I’m going to make this post a short one.
I loved this episode. Maisie
Williams once again shone and delivered an emotional rollercoaster ride. We got
to see how the character of Ashildr, through her long life, had lost much of
her humanity and turned into Lady Me. The consequences of her immortality are
that she has very little human emotion or connection remaining having suffered
a lot over the centuries that she has lived. The episodes where we get less focus
on an aliens are probably my favourites, because they look into how the Doctor
and his actions impact directly on humans and this for me is a fantastic way to
explore the way the Doctor affects humanity.
Overall, this episode was a
powerful emotional journey through the human consequences of immortality, played
so brilliantly by Maisie Williams. She was absolutely flawless across both halves
of this two-parter and Ashildr/Lady Me is one of my favourite characters from
this series. The Woman Who Lived was a well-written journey through the effects
of human trauma, with some very comedic moments thrown in as well.
Rating for The Woman Who Lived
9/10
Apologies about this being two
weeks late and very short. I explained in my last post that there has been a
lot going on in my life over the last couple of weeks which has stopped me from
posting. My next post will be a double review of The Zygon Invasion and The
Zygon Inversion and hopefully will be up by Monday night at the latest. As
usual, social media is below and comments are open for you to share your
thoughts. Until next time, keep following, keep smiling and above all keep
believing.
