Heartbreakingly beautiful. Episodes like this are the reason I'm watching DW.
One of my favorites. Amazing.
Now that's a great standalone Doctor Who episode. Clever monster story that's not just a simple black and white, a great one-off character (technically), a heartbreaking ending, and it manages to sneak in a little something about mental health.
Oh my god.. the scene of Vincent in the Musee D'Orsay was so beautiful and heart-touching ):
Amazing stuff. Loved this episode!
this episode was beyond amazing and so far was my best top episode that last scene where they took him to see his paintings wow. The fact that Van Gogh had drew a painting inspired by Amy was beyond beautiful im loving this Doctor and Amy
9/10
Superb
Arguably the best episode of this season, definitely in the
Top .
This episode was in
The Rosa Parks
Elite Category.
This was tragic and
Wholesome, heartfelt
and beautiful.
I myself suffer with
Metal health, have done
my entire life so to have
an episode address it
in new who was very
special and sincere.
Outstanding Performances
all around and after this
particular episode nobody
can argue that
Matt Smith isn't
The Doctor.
on a scale of 1 to 10
as Matt as
The Doctor well
He's easily an 11.
What an Outstanding
Written episode
Doctor Who
at it's finest.
The gallery scene was amazing! If only he really knew..
Great ending. The subject of suicide and the character of Van Gogh is treated maturely and with depth, but the plot around that of the creature is too generic.
I used to listen to Don McLean's song, and cry...leave it to Der Who to make some happy tears....

Don McLean Lyrics
"Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)"
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame-less heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Such a beautiful, heartbreaking episode :broken_heart: if it wasn't for the obvious I would have wanted Amy & Vincent to get together.
Bonus: having a Scottish Vincent Van Gogh was genius!

Personally the last scene of Vincent in the museum is one of the best scenes in the modern Doctor Who era. There aren't many scenes in this show that touched me like this one did.
