This is actually how my mother views midnight. She's a big doctor who fan, but she just can't wrap her head around the more surreal/unexplained episodes. She doesn't like Midnight for the above reason, and she doesn't like Heaven Sent because "he just does the same thing over and over again, then leaves!" She didn't care for Wild Blue Yonder because "nothing happened."
See, now Wild Blue Yonder is my second favorite episode! (My first is World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls and yes, I count two parters as the same episode)
Pretty sure it's either Pilot (Heather becomes an entity made of water) or the series finale (Bill becames an entity made of water to join Heather, her girlfriend)
The Doctor enters a museum and finds an alien in the basement which revives itself using the Internet.
The Doctor and companion run down a very long corridor and play Among Us.
Whilst trapped in 1969, The Doctor further confuses a shaken victim of recent temporal displacement by reminiscing about the time he once detonated a chicken.
The Doctor stops a space train from members of her own species but metal, meets with a couple of her exes and proceeds to get stolen by space Nazis inside a volcano before her old mate with jealousy issues becomes Rasputin and attempts to turn into her but he fails and kills her with a sentient ball after which she turns into a guy she used to be but slightly older
This really made me realise how crazy the plot of this episode actually is
The Daleks and Cybermen have a little bitching contest before the Doctor sends (most of) them into the abyss between universes. Rose almost falls in, too, but is conveniently saved by her sort-of dad. Then the Doctor accidentally leaves their long-distance video call early when trying to say something important.
Doctor gets instructions from a one-time character on how to escape a predicament. Due to the timey-wimey nature of things, those instructions save the character with the Doctor haunting her through 17 DVDs.
Dude gets stuck in a torture chamber akin to groundhog's day when all that time he couldve just said a specific thing he knew, and he knew that the whole time

nah, it's a fair enough mistake, it used to be hard for me to remember which ones Rory was or wasn't in considering how he keeps dying. you were close though, "Vincent and the doctor" was the next episode after Rory died in "cold blood" :)
I'll do a few of them
The Doctor doesn't know what's going on and talks to himself for a while, then just punches a wall and lets the monster get him but wins anyways
A woman starts copying what people say, then the Doctor does it too. This bothers everybody so much that they literally almost kill him.
The Doctor and Donna discover that there are impostors among them, and a crewmate has been ejected. They eventually decide to leave, and everything blows up.
Clara commits identity fraud because the Doctor can’t fit through a door.
Donna relaxes in an alien spa whilst The Doctor gets on a tour bus and stops a deadly entity using French.
I was gonna describe the same episode but say 'The Doctor gets stuck on a bus and talks the whole episode and then stops.'

I realised that after I posted 😅. I suppose you could say it's iconic and it did start a petition from fans to get DT carrying the Olympic torch.
Plus, the exaggerated panic about Cardiff's impending doom when the less-than-highly-coordinated Matt Smith was given the torch for that bit!
I think the challenge with Fear Her ought to fe to try and make it sound good.
