The Beast Of Babylon (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

The 9th Doctor picks up a new companion and heads off to Babylon to face down an foe that threatens to consume the earth.I have always liked the ninth Doctor. He was my first - you always remember your first Doctor. This story takes place during the series. I like the characterization of the Doctor in this tale and like the new companion. However, the plot and interactions with the Babylonians seemed off to me. In fact, I would have probably liked the story more if it happened in an alien setting instead of Babylon. Overall it was a good story, but not the best in this series. The Beast of Babylon features the ninth Doctor and is set during the period at the end of the episode Rose where leaves and then returns to the same spot to remind Rose that the TARDIS also travels in time. The Doctor here is very much the ninth Doctor as seen on screen and it also makes a few points clear such as the one that he was newly regenerated at the start of Rose and he had gone to the Earth after he had been made aware of the Nestene presence there. The story takes the Doctor back to the ancient time of the Babylonians thousands of years in the Earth past where he has to stop this entity from destroying the planet.
