The Doctor thinks he&#8217;ll be clever when he pretends to be Odin, when from the sky the &#8220;real&#8221; Odin shows up. This Odin takes the best Viking warriors for himself. Turns out this &#8220;Odin&#8221; is the ruler of the Mire, and feeds off of Testosterone.<\/p>\n<p>What you think is a one-off story, is actually part of a *gasp* two-parter. This is my only critique of Series Nine, as so far all the episodes have been two parters.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, nice to see Maisie Williams.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-605\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/vchiasson.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/24\/doctor-who-the-girl-who-died-recap\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-605\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/vchiasson.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/24\/doctor-who-the-girl-who-died-recap\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/vchiasson.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/24\/doctor-who-the-girl-who-died-recap\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s all appreciate that we had a Ten flashback.
