Series 2 Episode 11: Fear Her

Summary:
Rose and the Doctor have travelled into the year 2012 to see the celebration of the Olympics. When they walk through a totally normal street in London they find out that children are missing. That grips their attention and soon they are in the middle of their investigation. The missing children and strange occurrences seem to be connected to the girl Chloe who had a bad father. Soon the Doctor finds out that the girl is possessed by an alien that crashed onto earth and can't get back to it's brothers and sisters. He wants to help both of them but Chloe draws the Doctor and so he's sucked into her drawing. Rose is on her own now and she tries everything to help Chloe and the Doctor. She figures out that the pod of the alien needs heat and hope to be able to fly again and so she throws it into the Olympic torch. Will that save the Doctor?

The first thing I always remember when I watch this episode is that Chloe has the same bedclothes that I have. I guess IKEA is everywhere. The second thought, now that we are in the year 2012, is that it would be so cool if David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor would light the Olympic flame. Wouldn't it be a paradox otherwise? The episode itself is quite scary with vanishing people and this scary drawing/person in the closet. It's interesting what somebody would do so he/she/it isn't alone anymore and these aliens are a great idea. The setting of the Olympic Games is great but I don't think we will see an episode where the Doctor participates in the games. This is the last episode before the series finale and the last words of the Doctor somehow prepare us for what is to come.
