'Doctor Who' - 'Vincent and the Doctor' Recap

wow...couldn't disagree more. minus the Bill Nighy love (though if you ONLY know him from the Pegg/Wright films, then all the poorer are you). this was a fantastic episode. not my favorite, but a wonderfully written, gorgeously shot and emotionally performed vignette about the pain we feel, the beauty we can create from it and how each of our perceptions is a unique reality. even the poor creature, blinded and lashing out, reflected this (no pun intended). as for comedy...i need only point to the understated brilliance of the mutual bowtie admiration and the Doctor's childlike impatience while Vincent is painting the church. expertly done.

This is the episode that has me accepting Matt Smith as the new doctor.

You are sooo lucky I came across this question in my search for the same song. I just saw this episode and it has honestly been THE best one by far of this series. And I fell in love with that song too.

I wonder if the US release, which has several minutes of cut footage from each episode, results in the perception of some items being thrown in or poorly explained. I avoid watching the US version; having seen both versions of some episodes, the extra cuts really do make the show inconsistent.

So every invisible creature has to be from Spiridon? The creature in this episode looked nothing like those, acted nothing like those, and was in fact completely different. So why make it from Spiridon just to satisfy your need to have everything in the show reference something from olden days? That would just be stupid.

I don't think it was the best episode ever, but I thought it was pretty good. The monster was, to an extent, just a sidenote, as the episode was really more about the characters. Touching at the end, too.

I thought almost all of this season was kind of bland. Even if it gets emotional it's kind of 'do I care'. The best ep being the first ep of the season. The story of Vincent wasn quite good actually, except for a monster that should have beel left out because it didn't do anuthing for the sotry. Best ep in weeks, but I have problems getting into this doctor and Amy. I think Amy is no match to Donna Noble. And since I live this side of the pond I can say that I didn't like the season's ending at all (watched it yesterday). But even with all of the above I still watch every week, maybe because I still expect it to get better or hope to get into this eleventh doctor more.

I reject the idea that every episode of the current series has to refer back to some Doctor Who episode from 20 or 30 years ago. I think, in fact, that there have been way too many appearances of both the Daleks and the Cybermen in 21st century Doctor Who. When these classic creatures first showed up, they were new ideas. There need to continue to be new ideas now.

That said, I will concede that this creature should have been delved into a little more deeply in a way that could have lead to future appearances by the species. Nonetheless, I think this episode was an excellent example of the "meeting a historical character" meme that appeared at least once in every season.

I believe that this was the best episode that i have ever seen of dr who. because, like someone else here said, it was not about chasing aliens or meeting someone famous but about emotions and finding out that the whole world doesn't change with one little act, but one little act can be enough for a lifetime (Even if that life stays the same). the dialogue was perfect and all that, but this episode was about so much that its hard to remember every wonderful bit of it.

This was one of the best Dr Who episodes I have seen. I have been watching since the 60's. There was so much passion in the show. This showed Amy as more than just a companion, it showed depth of character. The new Dr is starting to grow on me. I was not sure I could move on one more time, but they have done a good job once again.

This is my favorite episode. You don't like it cuz you guys didnt really watch it. I want monsters. I want scifi. Ooh i hate art.

It's about perception. And depression. And futility. And Appreciation despite the loneliness.

In fact it's one of the best doctor who stories of the season. If you can't see it, you're not watching it closely enough. Or don't really think TV can be as good as literature. Kindah ignorant of you, actually.
