For those who remember, it's almost impossible to wrap your mind around the fact that Matt Smith’s epic second season of Doctor Who was airing a decade and a half ago. But back in June 2011, the second season of Smith’s tenure, and then-showrunner Steven Moffat’s twistiest season up until that point, was rushing toward a mid-season finale, a fairly new concept at the time. This was a moment where Doctor Who seemed to be playing a long game, and finally revealed the origin of a fan-favorite character who had existed since 2008.
And, 15 years after it aired, the seventh episode of Doctor Who Season 6, “A Good Man Goes To War,” remains a high point for the show, and a moment in which it felt like anything was possible.
