After battling the Weeping Angels and vampiric villains in the two previous episodes, the Doctor now confronted a different kind of enemy in Amy's Choice. The Dream Lord was a mysterious figure who gave the Time Lord, Amy and Rory a series of trials and cruel choices before a twist ending revealed what had really been going on.
Liz approved: 'Another episode that I found highly intriguing was Amy's Choice. As well as flipping from one reality to another, I like the fact we are seeing more of the Doctor's character, a darker side ... I really hope that we get to see the Dream Lord again ...' Many of you enjoyed this new, sinister figure and hoped for his return, with Paul declaring he was 'the most amazing new villain'. Gabrielle reflected that the Dream Lord was, 'a brilliant, ingenious and quirky villain who told us a lot about the Doctor'.
A few fessed up to shedding a tear over Rory's apparent death. Nicole wrote, 'The moment when Rory "died" in Amy's Choice made me cry the most out of the whole season. Its suddenness and Amy's reaction really put human life and death, love, and the Doctor into perspective.' And on that note, Charlie expressed the thoughts of many: 'I loved Amy's Choice, it was funny and sad and brilliant all at the same time and it was horrible how the Dream Lord kept teasing them. Also it was heart-breaking when Rory died but it was still a brill ep.'
Despite all the drama and moments of sadness, many enjoyed the episode's humour. Merryana said one of her favourite scenes was 'In Amy's Choice when Rory called Amy "Chubs"... So funny!' and Owen also enjoyed the light-hearted banter, revealing, 'The moment that made me laugh is the Doctor saying "You swallowed a planet!" to Amy who was pregnant in Amy's Choice.'
Katie called the adventure, 'mind-bending and revealing' and Evie observed, 'It was great how you were guessing all the way through!'
But the last word today goes to Chris who told us, 'Amy's Choice is my personal favourite episode. The central premise was intriguing enough to keep you on the edge of your seat and with the addition of the juiciest villain since the Master, this was the Doctor Who episode from my dreams!'
