meh!!!!!!!
I just watch the second episode of doctor who the beast below and it’s a bit ‘meh’ for me. There are good bit, bad bit, and the new theme tune. I really didn’t like the theme tune and as a person who has the power to move forward and backwards in time, I skip the whole she-bang.
Let’s face it, this episode is the eleventh hour part 2. But this time it’s about Amy. Not exactly about Amy but more of what Amy know about the doctor. There are some points in the episode that explains to Amy what the doctor is, on a side more, that ‘we are only observers’ bit that was B.S. and Amy knows it. (your first episode was one of your companion making fire. he didn’t invert fire but more timiy wimiy wobbly-wobbly. I lost the argument)
The smilers are creepy. And Moffat just made a PSA about having low grades (if you flunk a test the smiles will get you hwahwahwhahwhawaaaa . it’s stupid )surely it’s not going to work. Kids are too smart for that – don’t underestimate the kiddies. But plot wise, contribution to the story, maybe because since the eleventh no one has died. Even the sletheen killed a guy or two. The winders are the Ipad of this story. I know they are the one who keep the smilers running but u hate what they wear, that jedi outfit. I will not like the cosplay it will produce. Fans can buy a jedi costume and a cuckoo clock key and presto. The easiest doctor who costume since the gasmask zombies from empty child/doctor dances. Men wearing black military fatigue will be more relevant that that lot.
I love Liz ten. She maybe a cross between lauren copper and the girl who can hear thoughts form misfits but she has the sense of royalty and I will love to be her subject, Makes me also think that the royal family is part timelord, Because the doctor banged the virgin queen…..allegedly. but it’s cannot now. Two authors confirmed my logic and I’ll post a tread in the forums. The voting booth was a bit matrix-est but the production team been frank on using the reference. They even use a man that looks like col. Sanders to deliver the meassage. I love the new plot element of the memory wipe. Now I can have that function on my sonic screwdriver. (it’s more imaginary than real)………. Moving on.
The space whale is back. I adored the episode ‘meat’ it was sad and a really great use for reease. I love it’s mouth and again it’s reference to star wars. (It Moffat calling out to spilburg? Moffat to spilburg: steven!! Get me out of this 46 year old show)
The doctor’s dilemma was short. I wanted it more expanded and explained. . he can also be mean and angry ( my theory is because the previous version (tennant) did not want to go. This version is bitter.) The ending was marvelous. And even I was heartbroken by it. The space whale volunteering him/herself, because it the last one of its kind and his lonely. I like the mirroring the doctors life since 2005. And Amy saved the day. Please don’t let this be a regular this. She might save the world once or twice and it will be ok.
Ohhh!!! The crack on the ship was too obvious. Steven, we want it to be like hidden Mickey. The more obscure the better.
It was not the great ep in the series but it was ok. Now I’m waiting for the next episode the victory of the daleks.
