The Pinnacle of Doctor Who
Series 9, episode 12 of Doctor Who: Heaven Sent is in my opinion the pinnacle of the entire series. And believe me, I understand how strong of a proposition that is. For a show thats lasted more than half a century, with nearly 1000 episodes, countless spinoff tv shows, books, comics, audio dramas, a movie, and all the fan works too to pick out any single episode as the best of the best is a very loaded statement. But I truly think Heaven Sent fits the bill so enough with the intro: this is why Heaven scent is the greatest episode of Doctor Who. First things first, this episode showcases some absolutely stellar scifi. Even if it werent loaded with some of the most potent emotional and thematic content of the series, the fascinating story of the Doctor trapped in a mysterious castle, slowly figuring out how to avoid the everpresent danger of the veil, all while piecing together the rules of this strange prison and finding his way to the mysterious room 12 Mwah Chefs kiss, its astounding
