What a cracking opener to the season -- and this episode -- this is, not just because of its combination of exciting action, creepy visuals, and tense situations, but also because it immediately sets up a key dilemma for the Twelfth Doctor.September 28, 2015
Are the titles better than last season? They feel better. Maybe it's just because the Moffatt/Capaldi era has finally come into its own.September 28, 2015
Overall, this was a fairly grim start to the new season. Thank goodness Missy served as comic relief throughout. I'm curious to delve deeper into the Davros/Dalek mythology and see if Missy will indeed become an ally.September 28, 2015
The episode, in other words, is fun and strange in the classic mode of Doctor Who.September 28, 2015
This time out, [Clara] seems more comfortable than ever in her role as Earth's liaison with the Doctor, which also gives the show an excuse to bring UNIT back into the picture.September 28, 2015
Rare is the season of Doctor Who that begins with this much confidence.September 28, 2015
This is now a Doctor every bit as capable of emotional engagement as his predecessors, and he is broken in a way we almost never see him.September 28, 2015
From the minute the Doctor's sonic screwdriver flies through the air and lands at the feet of a child yet to be named, "The Magician's Apprentice" feels like coming home.September 28, 2015
Series nine makes bigger promises than just more of the same.September 28, 2015
As far as season premieres go, "The Magician's Apprentice" went big on setup in order to presumably go even bigger on the following episode's payoff. That meant an exciting, if uneven start to season 9.
