What Did You Think of The Rings of Akhaten?
What Did You Think of The Rings of Akhaten?
Having found himself a new companion in the shape of Clara Oswald, the Doctor asks where she wants to go first – and her request for somewhere awesome takes the pair to the rings of the planet Akhaten, inhabited by all manner of amazing creatures.
Clara meets the young queen, who is about to take part in a ceremony called the Festival of Offerings – but what begins as a happy sing-song soon turns very grim. Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman star.
Now that the 2nd episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

April 6th, 2013 - 7:24pmhow is Dalek considered one of the best Doctor Who’s? the reason the daleks have returned so many times is because the daleks are the most iconic villain in doctor who and british television.

April 6th, 2013 - 7:21pmyou never know a hoix might actually look like that but something might have happened to the original one seen one doctor who since that one had gone walk about haha
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 6th, 2013 - 7:21pmwith the introduction of ice warriors, it’s make or break. if they want them to recur, they need new ice warrior fans now.
at the time of ‘dalek’ i was too young to understand, but looking back it was good, but it didn’t capture the dalek’s life essence.
The Supreme Dalek
April 6th, 2013 - 7:21pmWhat about The Rings? Anyway, mine is:
The Snowmen
The Rings of Akhaten
The Angels Take Manhattan
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
Asylum of the Daleks
The Bells of Saint John
A Town Called Mercy
The Power of Three
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:21pmone thing i am thankful for, is that they haven’t ruined the design of the ice warriors like they did with the silurians
The 14th Doctor
April 6th, 2013 - 7:20pmJoe, Dalek is considered one of the best DW’s ever. If it was as bad as you make out, do you think the Daleks would have appeared six times since then?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 6th, 2013 - 7:19pmthey need simple storylines! i’m not looking forward to finding the secret of Clara, that’ll be a long day…
The 14th Doctor
April 6th, 2013 - 7:19pmMaybe they will in the future, but I think just one is a good way to introduce them again. I think they’ll end up being recurring monsters like the Silurians and SOntarans have become.
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:19pmyes, i have seen ‘dalek’ and it was one of the poorest episodes of the revived season.
The fact that the dalek showed compassion, and ended up killing itself at the end ruined it. let’s just hope next episodes ice warrior doesn’t start picking flowers for clara and then commit suicide.

April 6th, 2013 - 7:17pmfair point, but if th eice warriors are so great, they should comeback in a big way
The Supreme Dalek
April 6th, 2013 - 7:17pmI’m going to ask this because I would be interested to know: What is your order from best to worst of the Series 7 Episodes so far?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 6th, 2013 - 7:16pmit was the mask, with ood fronds. they shouldn’t do that.
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:16pmit probably belongs to the same species
The Supreme Dalek
April 6th, 2013 - 7:15pmYep, I did, noticed it the minute it appeared on screen, maybe it’s a sort of relative?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 6th, 2013 - 7:15pmto be honest, more info on clara doesn’t matter to me, as to me she’s not a new character, she’s been in it 2 times already… maybe.
The 14th Doctor
April 6th, 2013 - 7:15pm^ Your complaining about the fact there’s only one Ice Warrior…
Tell me, have you ever seen the episode “Dalek?”

April 6th, 2013 - 7:14pmwas there a hoix in this episode?
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:14pmanyone else notice a hoix?
(well, the same mask anyway. probably a different creature with the old hoix mask)
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 6th, 2013 - 7:14pmme too! i have been waiting for someone to say those words!

April 6th, 2013 - 7:13pmi loved the random aliens over all the episode was good but next week looks amazinging
McGann is the Doctor.
April 6th, 2013 - 7:13pmI thought the singing was actually quite beautiful, and the story itself is probably the most beautiful, majestic one so far.
But the story does let itself down, having a leaf save the day instead of the Doctor (literally) and there are scenes that drag too much, e.g they should have said cut after the Doctor said “Any bright ideas, didn’t think so” but he says ANOTHER joke. We get the picture ! You know ? 😆
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:13pmplus, there is only ONE ice warrior in next weeks episode apparently. Come on, Moffat!
DW has gone down hill since the end of series 5. Not Matt’s fault. i put it down to poor writing.
The 14th Doctor
April 6th, 2013 - 7:13pmBetter than I was expecting
