Doctor Who Series 5, Episode 10: "Vincent and the Doctor

After the crazy events of last week's episode, the doctor has been nice to Amy, taking her to a bunch of nice places, and finally taking her to a museum, to see the works of Vincent van Gogh. And here's where we begin another historical episode of the series, as the duo travel to the past to meet the famous painter.

I don't know a lot about van Gogh, aside from starry night. On a side note, I really liked how they showed starry night in this episode. I also liked how van Gogh was portrayed, and how the episode itself was mostly centered around him. We didn't need a plot-heavy episode after the last two-parter, and this was a nice breather. It also showed that no mater how much we do, the future cannot be changed, even for a time traveling Gallifreyan.

The plot itself this time was relatively weak. This probably won't go down as one of the most memorable episodes of the series, but I actually learned a bit about van Gogh. And I can now probably recognize a whole bunch of his paintings! It's less than two weeks till the pandorica opens....

Next week: The doctor becomes a lodger?
