In the tenth episode of the fifth series of Doctor Who, Amy and the Doctor find a hidden clue in a painting from Vinent Van Gogh and travel back in time to determine what on earth happened to one of the world’s most famous painters. Intrigued? Then it’s time for Mark to watch Doctor Who.
(NOTE: This is a very long chat transcript. Many of you asked me to bring this format back after a long absence. Kasper is a huge Doctor Who fan and recommended this episode. I understand some of you hate this format, but it is what it is. I won’t feel bad if you choose to skip over it. Thanks! –Mark)

Mark Oshiro: you are my favorite forever
Absolutely my favorite episode of New Who. They do an amazing job portrayed depression, and basically everything about it is fantastic. I straight up wept at the end of this first time around.
Also,
Kasper!: MAYBE RICHARD CURTIS IS JESUS
I THINK HE'S ON TO SOMETHING.
Mark, I don't care what anyone else says Long Live These Posts With Kasper! May the edge vegan police take care of any one who disagrees 🙂
Could not wait for you to see this one! This is my all time favorite episode of all episodes ever including all the original Doctors too! Van Gogh has always been my favorite artist and I knew I would love this episode as soon as I saw the preview of it! The scene at the end in the museum OMG…I cried and then I cried!
I love you, Richard Curtis.
One of the best NuWho eps EVER. <3
Yes, I have missed the Kasper times! I love this episode to death. So many emotions, and bowties, and aw God the Ultimate Ginger.
I put on my reading soundtrack for this review, which is my favorite tracks from Half Blood Prince. Went like a charm with it. 🙂
Seriously, this is one of the best reviews ever!
Dissenters will inevitably abhor…
I love love love love LOVE this episode so much. Basically, like you said, it's perfect. Everything is perfect. It's beautiful and lovely and ahhhhhhh it's 4:30am and I don't have words.
I don't tend to rewatch individual episodes of Doctor Who a lot, but I have rewatched this one a bunch of times. i just love it.
Wow, that was just completely unreadable. The capslock.keysmash stuff is bad enough in small doses, but this is ridiculous.
Okay, seriously – I don't know how everyone is on here every day posting multiple comments. I just had to read the entire Series5 set of reviews in one go, and by golly – by the time I absorbed all of that and a pile of comments, I have nothing new to add. Life happens – go away for a week, come back and you've missed everything.
*shakes fist*
Anyways. This, this is one of my favourite episodes. No, scratch that. This is my favourite episode of all of Who, new and old. I … just … Vincent. Vincent. Wonderful, sweet, tormented, genius Vincent. The dynamic between the Doctor, Amy, and Vincent? Fantastic.
The scene in the museum where they show Vincent just how appreciated he is in the future? Heartbreaking. When Amy realizes he doesn't live any longer, and that he still can't cope? Heartbreaking.
But at the same time – this episode is so heartwarming and beautiful in their friendship, the hope, and the dialogue.
Favourite parts:
The Doctor: I've seen many things, my friend, but you're right. Nothing… quite as wonderful as the things you see.
—
Vincent: It seems to me there's so much more to the world then the average eye is allowed to see. I believe, if you look hard, there are more wonders in this universe then you could ever have dreamed of.
—
The Doctor: The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. […] The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
(especially that last one)
I wish I had the time to discuss things on some of these episodes. *sad*
Nothing in this episode was done wrong. I love it and watched it more frequently than ANY other Doc Who S5 ep. There's so much about it that's honest and real and unexpected. It was moving and addressed real issues without being derogatory or frustrating. I even wrote a blog about it, once I finally could deal with all the emotions it brought up: http://rjlouise.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/unexpect…
Truly, Doctor Who is beautiful.
