As Series 7 draws ever nearer, I am going to start publishing countdown posts. For each post I will write about my most memorable episode from that series and also a separate article for my least favourite episode of that series. (The 2009 Specials and the Christmas Special's will both have there separate articles) Today's article is on my least favourite episode of Series 3.
The Lazarus Experiment
This episode is OK. And thats all it is. It doesn't have any edge of your seats moments, unless you can count when Martha is clinging on to the floor about to fall, and it features one of the most weirdest creations Doctor Who has ever seen. Let me try and tell you why I feel this episode isn't up to Doctor Who's usual standard.
A Slow Start
The episode has all been leading up to the moment where Professor lazarus is supposed to perform some sort of miracle but I feel it had too much of a lead up and in the first 10 minutes of the episode nothing really happened, but we were all waiting for the moment when we saw what Lazarus' experiment was.
Years Too Young
The fact that Lazarus was human asks the question, how on earth can he turn himself younger? Maybe slow aging and I would have believed it but actually making himself younger seem impossible for even the brightest human to create.
The Creature
Ever since Lazarus came out of the machine, I thought that this episode might be one of those just-a-little-too-much-impossible episodes... which it turned out to be just that. Lazarus turning into a massive creature with a scorpion like tail and a skeletal body, was one of the most weirdest, impossible and stupid creations that Doctor Who has ever came up with.
In Conclusion...
Quiet a lot less than average, was what this episode turned out to be and I was quiet disappointed by Mark Gatiss' creature and I think that the ending was very poor as if a piano could knock out a creature, shouldn't it have fried the Doctor, Martha and Tish's brains?
