levendisBREEF THOTS ON DR WHO
1. Cheese
2. CHEEESE oh man my Corny Meter was off the charts, for real. Mixing metaphors, how I do.
3. Wow, that was a lot of emotional drama with zero set-up.
EDIT: In retrospect, there's a ton of set-up in previous seasons. The emotions didn't seem false, it was just jarring. I suppose it's more of a POV/authorial shift than any change in the characters themselves. Would've liked it to play out a little slower, but this ain't no Boardwalk.
4. EVERYBODY LOOKIN FINE
5. This is the first Dalek episode in for-ev-er that did something other than sell toys. Really nice blend of creepy and pathos. I dig.
6. So, okay. If they don't remember the Doctor, they're gonna have a hell of a lot of gaps in their collective memory. Do they now just, what, remember doing some stuff for no reason?
7. JENNA LOUISE MOTHERFUCKING COLMAN. Wait. What?
8. The bit where Amy thought the Daleks were a cocktail party was so Twin Peaks I pooped myself in glee.
9. The show is so much prettier and visually thoughtful than it used to be. Like, there's a wedge of post-noir in the Hartnell era, then "Caves of Androzani", the last part of Trial, and then everything Moffat ever. LOVE IT. Gosh.
OTHER THINGS:
1. I saw a tourist taking a picture of City Hall with his iPad, and just barely resisted the impulse to smack it out of his hand. WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA.
2. Being drinking wine like ain't no thang. I was never a huge fan, then suddenly discovered I fucking love it. I wish I could track down every pearl-clutching 16 year old who complains online about how they don't like the taste of alcohol/how they hate being drunk, and give them a hug, and tell them about the future joys of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc and its accompanying gentle buzz.
3. THIS GAME. IS SO GORGEOUS THAT I CRY.
I have yet to find a server that isn't junk, to my eternal sorrow. ALWAYS WITH THE RPG NONSENSE. NEVER WITH THE LETTING ME PLAY WITH TNT. Dammit.
