Doctor Who S08E01

So, the eighth season of Doctor Who begins with a brand new Doctor and a brand new adventure that test the mettle of the newly-regenerated Doctor, now played by Peter Capaldi, and his companion Clara Oswald, played by Jenna Coleman. The first episode of the new season, titled Deep Breaths, sees The Doctor and Clara on Victorian London, probably one of his favorite eras, and with Madame Vastra, Jenny, and Strax fighting alongside him, they must take on a deadly conspiracy that left us breathless...literally.

Speaking of breathless, that Half-Face Man is one heck of a cyborg baddie the 12th Doctor worth fighting against and it's even creepy to see his minions armed with blades from their arms. The toughest way to survive against these menacing mechanical foes is to hold breaths. It's hard but that's for surviving against these.

The Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith made a super special appearance on the near end of the episode when Clara received a phone call while at present-day London. That's quite a shocker for fans many but that's how to spice things up for nostalgia's sake.

So, that concludes the first episode of the new season. Next time...
