Ok, the simple things:
- Strax is stinkin' brilliant.
- Vastra and Jenny are a wonderful couple.
- Cutting One through Nine in to Clara's story? Nice! (I didn't see Ten - must rewatch).
- River's line about 'he left me in the universe's biggest library, didn't even say goodbye'? That was so harsh, and so very right, actually, the whole River storyline in here.
- "Run, you clever boy, and remember!" - Love that phrase.
Tougher things:
- I've been a bit on the fence about Clara, but this a good show for her. And with her final line before entering the Doctor's timestream, that would have been a helluva memorable way for a Companion to leave.
- SO, to get this straight then, the TARDIS has known Clara since forever, with her saving the Doctor many times - why does the TARDIS dislike her so strongly?
- The less seen of the kids, the better - children and SF are good for each other, look at me!, but children in SF need horrible transporter accidents.
Biggest and most intriguing spoiler:
- "and John Hurt as The Doctor" (Returning Nov. 23rd? Gah!)
I'll rewatch, tomorrow likely, I'm satisfied and looking forward to fall, less on the fence about Clara.
Re: John Hurt
Mr. Zombie Rotten McDonald tried to tempt me with the last spoiler knowing I had not yet seen, and I admit he polluted my mind a bit today, but the best I could come up with was Capt. John Hart from Torchwood, played by James Marsters, and that was re-e-a-a-l-l unlikely; or John Simm returning as The Master, somewhat more possible.
John Barkin' Hurt? Wow.
Thoughts?
