@StillGotLegsPod Clara is finally here! (Sort of). Say what you will about the episode but I still think Jenna's performance is great and the eggs twist hit me so hard when I first watched it.
@StillGotLegsPod My weirdo this week is the Doctor. The Tivoli are constantly being invaded and enslaved and the Doctor is fine with it because it's part of their nature? Pretty selective and reminds me of his attitude towards the Ood.
@StillGotLegsPod "Good men don't need rules. Now is not the time to find out why I have so many" is such a killer line and perfectly, and ironically, sets up the theme of the next several series
@StillGotLegsPod So to summarize, Amy has been trapped in two dreams, has massive chunks of her life erased around her, trapped in fake Tardis scenarios, and has been fully replaced by a flesh duplicate for an entire pregnancy. I would never trust anything ever again if I was her.
@StillGotLegsPod This episode sees the show travel to the Cardiff of the American Southwest: Utah.
Also River talking about one day looking at the doctor and him not knowing who she is killing her one day is great ironic writing from Moff
@StillGotLegsPod The only thing I can think about when watching this episode now is how much Ryan Gosling appreciates Matt Smith's acting during his speech and how he's "pretty sure those spaceships weren't really there"
@StillGotLegsPod Everyone is very willing to help the shadowy upstairs stranger in this episode, which seems odd, but the strangest part comes at the end when Sophie chooses to stay with James Corden rather than choose to do literally anything else with her life.
@StillGotLegsPod Also as an American I watch the show on Max, and when I tried to play this episode it started me at the end credits, and that just sums up my thoughts on this episode better than any comment could
@StillGotLegsPod This episode has surprisingly dark elements
- "only one person hates me as much as you do" himself
-kids turned to dust
-elder abuse
-geese
-the threat of freezing to death
- Rory dusting in Amy's arms
-ponchos
@StillGotLegsPod@kathy_scratch "They're not Vampires, they're aliens"
Replace "vampire" with any creature and you esentially have the plot of every historic episode of this show
@StillGotLegsPod Okay so the thing with the Angels stopping even with Amy's eyes are closed actually makes sense when you remember that they're quantum-locked and her scanner would collapse the wave function. They only move again when the scanner is on the floor and stops detecting them.
@StillGotLegsPod To this day the only way I offer people tea is in the Dalek voiced "WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA" and if they don't want any follow up with "YOU DO NOT REQUIRE TEA"
@StillGotLegsPod They got so sick of everyone complaining that they weren't really filming in London during the RTD era that they decided to set this episode on a spaceship London so that nobody could say anything. But, for the record, this episode was NOT actually filmed on a spaceship London.
@StillGotLegsPod I love the 10-isms 11 has in this episode.
-"wibbly wobbly"
-licking the shed
-hitting his head to think harder
-belittling the boyfriend of the girl he's just met and has a weird age difference with
-naming the Shadow Proclamation
@StillGotLegsPod But I think what irritates the Doctor most about saving Wilf is that the whole reason he gets himself stuck is to selflessly save someone in danger with no thoughts of himself. Wilf reminds the Doctor what it means to be a good man.
