I didn't expect this to happen when I saw the preview of "The God Complex" last week. Now it is only two more episodes until the series finale and then we have to wait until Christmas to watch something new. Please, don't read further when you haven't watched the episode yet.
Summary:
The Doctor, Amy and Rory land in a hotel that looks like one from earth but they can't be on earth. They meet other people there who tell them about the monster who will come and get them and that there is a room for everyone. Soon the first one is killed and the Doctor decides to catch the monster and talk to it. He finds out that the monster, which looks like a Minotaur, is in fact an alien and the hotel they are in is it's prison. The Doctor thinks the alien kills the people because of their fears but after the death of the nurse he realizes that they die because of their faith. When Amy is the next on the list, he tries everything to destroy her faith in him to save her life.
I don't know what to think of this episode yet. I really liked it but in some ways it was quite strange. Again the Tardis brings the Doctor, Rory and Amy to a place where they don't want to go and there they have to face different fears in the rooms of the hotel they are in. I liked the Minotaur, it looked really cool and it was a nice story. So Amy saw herself in her room because this had to be the one where they "defeated" the alien at the end of the episode. The Doctor's room had the number 11, which was a great insider, I think and I wonder what he has seen in his room. Maybe he has seen Amy's and Rory's death and that's the reason why he leaves them at the end of the episode or it was young Amy or River. Who knows? Maybe this question will be answered later or maybe not. Nonetheless, I think it's quite strange that the Doctor leaves Amy and Rory now after all the things they've been through but maybe it's also because what the alien has said before he died. Well, it was an episode that leaves me a bit uneasy and I really don't know what to think about it. It was really great but there are so many open questions now.
