An unusual episode that focuses on the Doctor (Amy being almost entirely absent) living as a human. He rents a flat (hence The Lodger) while investigating why the TARDIS can't materialise (trapping Amy in the future). There's humour, a love story, the Doctor playing football and another reference to the cracks.

The Doctor is treating Amy to make up for losing Rory (despite her failing to remember him). At the Musee d'Orsay, the Doctor spots a face in one of Van Gogh's paintings. Believing it to be evil he takes Amy back to 1890 to meet Vincent Van Gogh and find out what the face belongs to. Thus begins a witty, yet poignant, episode about sadness, depression and one of the world's greatest ever painters. I really liked this episode; it's well worth a second look.

A fairly straight-forward episode, but with effectively two endings: one where the Doctor saves the day in the usual way and a second where the cracks re-appear with devastating effect.

The Doctor, Rory and Amy burst out of the TARDIS expecting to be in Rio. Unfortunately they're in a little town in Wales in the year 2020. So begins a reasonably traditional Doctor Who story featuring an old enemy: the Silurians.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the episode is a future Amy and Rory waving from a distance. The Doctor stops his companions from meeting their other selves. You've got to wonder what this is all about. Why did they (the future selves) do it? Is this part of the series motif?

A witty, engaging and very original episode that was a big improvement on last week. Not outstanding, but one of the best of the new season.

This episode begins with one of the longest introductions before the title credits I can recall. The Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves switching between two realities each time they nod off at the sound of birdsong. The Doctor warns them that this looks like it could be a tricky one and them smiles as if he relishes the challenge.

This episode began with a witty scene involving the Doctor popping out of a cake at Amy's fiance's stag party. But this was probably the highpoint of a weak episode. There were some good bits, but the plot was not strong and there was little that was novel. We learnt a little more about the cracks, but that was it.

A clever, pacy episode that answers some questions and sets up a whole lot more. The Doctor eventually overcomes the angels (in a manner reminiscent of Doomsday). Along the way we find out more about the angels, River Song and the cracks.

Stephen Moffat brings back two of his creations in this episode: River Song and the Weeping Angels and combines them into an enigmatic thriller. The Weeping Angels are revealed to be far more powerful and dangerous than Blink would suggest and give this episode a thriller / horror feel.

The daleks are back, but what on Earth are they up to? Perhaps more significantly, why can't Amy remember who they are? A mysterious and occasionally hilarious episode that sees the daleks regenerate yet again into something more dangerous.

This is the first "normal" episode of the new series, ie. not a regeneration episode or a special. And I think we are starting to see the more thoughtful approach of Steven Moffat. As with The Eleventh Hour it's something hiding in the shadows (in this case the beast below) and the Doctor's ability to notice things and understand what's going on while Amy sees nothing. What follows is a gripping episode with lots of suspense, just a few snippets of humour and a difficult decision for the Doctor.
