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 7th, 2013 - 2:42pmI think that was more of a problem during the RTD era.
Dalek The Supreme
April 7th, 2013 - 2:31pmI think:
A Town Called Mercy: 10/10
Asylum of the Daleks: 9/10
The Bells of St John: 7/10
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship: 7/10
The Angels Take Manhatten: 6/10
The Rings of Akhaten: 6/10
The Snowmen: 5/10
The Power of Three: 5/10

April 7th, 2013 - 2:24pm@doctorwho: The only thing you’ve said that I agree with is that it would’ve been better if the Vampire was the main threat. And honestly, if you can’t get over the fact Tennant left, why don’t you watch a show with him in it. Doctor Who isn’t all about Tennant, you know!

April 7th, 2013 - 2:21pmSounds possible, but it could be just a nice little reference for the 50th Anniversery.

April 7th, 2013 - 2:20pmThe idea was that if the leaf hadn’t fallen from the leaf, or fell off at a different time, or never even existed in the first place, any number of things might have happened.

April 7th, 2013 - 2:19pmThen you must see something in stories such as Delta and the Bannerman, Fear Her, Curse of the Black Spot and Love and Monsters that I don’t.

April 7th, 2013 - 12:58pmIt was okay,not as good as last weeks but interesting all the same,alien races & more about clara’s life! The doctor mentioned his granddaughter too!

April 7th, 2013 - 12:27pmWhy Didn’t the TARDIS translate for Clara?

April 7th, 2013 - 12:03pmIt was a bit strange with all the singing but I basically enjoyed it. I was actually worried that the Doctor would loss his memories.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 7th, 2013 - 11:19amthats true. they shouldn’t look into child companions for a while, as Pond has left her stamp on that, now it’s become a tradition. they need to do new things.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 7th, 2013 - 11:16ami really do care for the show, but it’s really infuriating seeing (in my opinion) a bad story, knowing that they could do much better. i have started going of Who, because the series’ are split, and the stories are dragged, and some episodes are just terrible. i think we can all agree that we’ve seen an episode and thought this.

clom hates raxicoricofalipitorias
April 7th, 2013 - 10:40amI have to say someone must have blown Steven Moffet’s brains out. Even that would be a better story than the the rings of akfetpan. See it even has such a silly name hardly anyone can slpell it.

April 7th, 2013 - 10:22amI agree, how could a big giant alien, god eat a tiny leaf with apparently has an infinite future die from it. Silly!!!

April 7th, 2013 - 10:04amSteven Moffat is head writer so must ulitmately be responsible for the whole writing team.

April 7th, 2013 - 9:50amIt wasn’t Moffat who wrote it though, none of this series is by him unless TBOSJ and the final!

April 7th, 2013 - 9:30ambefore the titles I was actually quite excited about this episode. The Doctor was using the time machine to travel through Clara’s life with some accuracy (glad he’s learned to fly it now) and I thought, oohh!!! this is going to be a good one. How wrong I was, Rubbish!!!!!
The writing team have CLEARLY run out of ideas. COME ON MOFFETT, sort it out or leave. Blink was ages ago and nothing has equalled it since. Here’s hoping for a better show next week.

April 7th, 2013 - 8:46am@doctorwho you dont understand that it doesnt have to have lots of killing and action in to be great, it can have emotions in mainly. If you dont like that fact maybe your watching the wrong show…

April 7th, 2013 - 8:44amyes I love blink to in fact that joins with power of 3

April 7th, 2013 - 8:14amBecause of all the singing i thought it was a songs of praise special.
The Supreme Dalek
April 7th, 2013 - 7:38amDid anyone think they heard one of the Vigils hissing Clara’s name? And couldn’t they just talk instead of hiss? We didn’t even get an alien that talked. But anyway, not complaining.

April 7th, 2013 - 7:15amI voted average. I didn’t really like it and the plot was boring. Although I did very much like the Doctor’s speech at the end.
