Samuel and Jacob return to Doctor Who Series 6 with Let’s Kill Hitler, an episode whose provocative title quickly gives way to a much bigger story about River Song, Amy, Rory, and the Doctor. They discuss the episode’s risky use of Hitler, the introduction of the Teselecta, Rory’s increasingly heroic streak, and the major revelations surrounding Melody Pond’s transformation into River Song.
Episode Highlights
- Debate over whether using Hitler as a comedic plot device was worth the narrative gamble.
- The reveal that Amy and Rory’s childhood friend Mels is actually Melody Pond.
- Alex Kingston stealing the show as a newly regenerated River Song.
- The Teselecta, its hilariously polite antibodies, and some questionable time-travel justice.
- Rory continuing his evolution into an action hero—including punching Nazis.
- How the episode fills in major pieces of River Song’s complicated timeline.
- The Doctor and River’s clever battle of wits as she attempts to kill him.
- Amy and Rory confronting the bittersweet reality that they unknowingly helped raise their own daughter.
- The sonic cane, River learning to fly the TARDIS, and plenty of classic Steven Moffat timey-wimey storytelling.
