Doctor Who episode 8 reaction

[janetlin]

Hm, missed a few of these, too. Still not fully back into the swing of watching it every week. Twelve hasn't driven me away again but he also hasn't really drawn me back yet, so I'm not, like, chomping at the bit for new episodes.

* TRAINS. IN. SPAAAAAAACE.

* aww, Clara dressing up again. I'm finally starting to like her.

* ... dude, is that Don't Stop Me Now in the background? It sounds _weird_ slow.

* oh, this is like a really awkward breakup. :( do not want.

* yeah she just called it "dumping him." blech.

* jelly babies in his cigarette case. Bless.

* I like Clara's bob. Is it real, though, or is it just a tuck-up-and-under deal?

* Aww, no, I liked the mythology expert. :( Bless his heart for keeping his head and describing the thing in his last moments. Well, at least for a while.

* So did anyone think to measure the interval before it came for the conductor??

* "You know, Doctor, I can't tell if you're a genius or just incredibly arrogant." That's it, that's the show.

* "Lie to her, tell her I can save her. Whatever it takes to get her here." Oooooh the engineer's shade-face at him for that one.

* huh what's up with that weird field in the way of the TARDIS?

* "You KNEW this was dangerous."
"I didn't know. I certainly hoped..." Oh, Doctor.

* "I'm the Doctor, and I'll be your victim this evening. Are you my mummy?" bwahahahaha

* "So you were pretending to be heartless."
"Would you like to think that about me?" ouch

* aww, the engineer poking around the TARDIS. Adorbs.

* an addiction, huh? Maybe turn that mirror on yourself, Clara.

* "As long as you get me home safe and on time, everything is great." ummm... do you even know who you're talking to right now?


Well, I liked that better than Midnight, which it kind of felt like. Twelve is... pretty harsh, though. I keep wanting him to be a teddy bear underneath the growlyface and it takes more chipping away to get there than it did even with Nine. I appreciate the difference, though, because my biggest gripe about Eleven was that he wasn't different _enough_ from Ten.

I haven't been able to watch any of this season yet since it's not on Hulu...or any other streaming site I can get. But it's sounds like I'll like it more. I am super not a fan of Clara cause Eleven was such a manic crazy man and Clara is a manic little pixie, so they weren't different enough and that annoyed me so much. I hope growlyface Twelve has calmed Clara down or at least evens her out.

I didn't see much of Clara with Eleven 'cause I stopped watching when the Ponds left, but yeah, what little I did see didn't endear me to her (part of why I gave it up). She's having a hard time accepting this regeneration, which perhaps is his own fault because he never _warns_ anybody, but still. At first it was all, "Ew, you're old now" - which, grr, uncool - and now it's more "I don't like the way you do things now." On the one hand, it's nice that she doesn't just get her way, but on the other it results in a lot of pouting and her big brown eyes looking oh so hurt. I still kind of want to smack her 'cause she either needs to leave already or just shut up about being unsatisfied because it's getting old.
