First off, The Rings Of Akhaten aired on Saturday and I thought it was pretty short and pretty confusing. But the second time I watched it, I fully understood, and all in all, I now think that the episode was far better then the first, The Bells Of St John. The songs were absolutely beautiful, especially the 'Wake Up' song they were singing. Some people saw the 'Wake Up' song being sang to the old god sun, but I always see it as them singing to the doctor as per the lyrics, telling him to "Live".
Merrys voice (Some people got it confused with Mary or Murray) was astonishing for a girl her age, although I am probably the same age as her anyway. She was played by Emilia Jones, and I think I should give her credit seeing as it took me a while to find her actual name. Well done to her! She was brilliant, just brilliant!
So lets talk about the aliens themselves. Of course, there was the gods 'alarm clock' also known as 'The Mummy' in the credits. There were also those really freaky aliens, The Vigil, that were looking for Merry. They honestly creeped me out. There was, of course, the god himself. Also, in the market there were Hooloovoos, Pan-babylonians, a Lugal-Irra-Kush, Lucanians, a Qom Votivig, a Terrabeserker and and old ultramancer.
But one alien some of you may have missed out, there appears to be an alien made out of old costume. He is made up of what appears to be a hoix, a hath, a sycorax and an ood. He has an oods tentacles, a hoix head, a sycorax skull and a hath breathing vent. I expected it to be in the story as a mutant creature, but no, unfortunately not. I would like to see him be in every episode as a bounty hunter, that would be good. Theres a picture of the weird hybrid below and to the right.
Lastly, we need to talk about something, we already know that Tom Baker, David Tennant and Billie Piper will be re-appearing for the 50th anniversary, but something else is, something awesome, as Clara would say. Yes, it as been confirmed that the Zygons are returning! Yup, the zygons are back, and believe it or not, we've actually got the footage to prove it. So you wanna see the new Zygons, well, here you are,
On the other hand, there's another oldie thats coming back, yup, The Ice Warriors! And as you already know, you'll be seeing them this Saturday for the next episode 'Cold War'. The plot appears to be Ice Warriors invading a deep submarine under icy waters and threatening to fire missiles. The Doctor appears to be trying to stop them from pressing a button which probably activates the missiles. We also know that Clara blacks out during the episode. I can't wait, The Ice Warriors have always been a fave oldie aswell as the Zygons, and I did want to see them back!
So yeah, so far, Series 7 Part 2 is all good for me, can't wait for The Cyberman episode either, now that certainly will be cooler than stetsons. And one question to puzzle you before I go, will River Song be in series 7 again?
