Kiroku Tensha Eriko goes Doctor Who - A look back at possibly the best series of Modern Who to date: Series 9

Following the momentum of my "look back" at Series 8 of Doctor who in my last post, this time I review what could possibly be the best series of Modern Doctor Who to date - Series 9.

As I have said, Series 8, despite being a great "12th Doctor Starter Pack", was a difficult and turbulent one.  Considering that statement, there was virtually no way I have telegraphed that the sophomore season of Peter Capaldi/Twelfth Doctor will turn out to be as one, if not, the best Series of Doctor Who I have ever seen since the revival (2005 - Series 1). Yes! It was great, like a movie sequel that turned out to be better than the first one!

Series 9 dealt largely with the themes of death, loss, and even immortality. It also showed us a little bit of a toned down Doctor from last season as Peter Capaldi's Doctor this time has a more down-to-earth persona, but still has the "Grumpy One" vibe he had from his debut. One thing to note about Series 9 is it was a galore of multiple part episodes which was a first for Doctor Who since 2005.

Without further ado, here is my take on Series 9:

Kiroku Tensha Eriko goes Doctor Who - My take and look back at Series 8

Okay, as promised in the last post - as a sort of making up to lack of articles - I will be rolling out some Doctor Who-themed articles for the coming days leading up to the start of a new season of the program (Series 10).  It is a given that fans will be excited for the much-awaited return of the program after a little hiatus, but it never hurts to have some little bit of a look back, don't you think?

So, for the first of my "making up" articles, I will be having a look back at Series 8.  This series marks the first full season of the Twelfth Doctor (after the regeneration from Eleventh) in the episode "The Time of The Doctor."  A look back to this season, is like an examination of Peter Capaldi's first season as The Doctor and the changes it brings to the show in whole and in part.

Without further ado, here are my two cents for Series 8:

"Heneral Luna" - I really wanted to watch this film as early as it was released; however, that R-13 rating was a roadblock of sorts and hindered me (Why? Can't bring my kid to the cinema). Anyway, the most important thing is I found a way and was able to watch it "finally" - today.

Now, how will I describe this critically-acclaimed (both by critics and audiences) movie?

One word - "Masterpiece."
