Story: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
Written By: Chris Chibnall
Length: 45 Minutes
Year: 2012
This episode is tons of fun. I liked that the Doctor tried out having a gang with the Ponds, Rory's dad (unintentionally), an Egyptian Queen, and a big game hunter. And the Gang travels off to a spaceship filled with dinosaurs that is heading right for a future earth with missiles ready to blow it up if the Doctor can't move it out of the way fast enough: name one thing wrong in that description that WOULD'NT lead to fun?
I thought it was the best script by far contributed by Chibnall to the parent series. It was much better than his weak two-part reintroduction to the Silurians, or his dull "42" from Series 3. It is so odd how he can write so inconsistently. Until now his work within Who was average at best, and his work in Series 1 of Torchwood was awful, and yet his scripts for Series 2 were great.
All in all I have little to complain about when it comes to this episode, Chibnall finally a made an all around fun episode with such a goofy premise and tongue in cheek attitude that it just had to work.
NEXT TIME: To the Wild West
