We’re skipping “A Good Man Goes to War” because I can’t stand watching it again; stories about children in peril are too damn awful, and basically it’s in there to let everybody know that River Song started out as baby Melody Pond. It also introduces Strax, Madame Vastra, and Jenny, but they can stand on their own in other stories. And then there’s that bitch, Madame Kovarian, who really attains the upper limits of absolute evil in this, but she’s hatable without this episode, so I’m skipping the pain.
“Let’s Kill Hitler,” on the other hand, is fabulous. So let’s watch that.
Also: Teaser “History of Doctor Who” for the anniversary special
Here’s a cheat sheet on some of the details that go flying past.
