^^Best thing I brought back from my recent UK trip were the Walker's Chicken Curry crisps. Amazing.Doctor Spaceman posted:The "carer" line in Into the Dalek felt like the best summary of Twelve so far. Stones of Blood has the scene where 4 is attacked by  WALKING STEALTH ROCKS that bash in through a window, right? I love that.

Will definitely be ordering more of those as treats. You do realize they sell those literally everywhere in America, right? They're called Linzer Tarts.

Also jelly babies are awesome and it boggles my mind that there is someone who's never had one.

I can't decided if I liked The Holy Terror or not. Is this normal? (It wasn't Frobisher. I liked him. Shapeshifting space penguins in every story please.)

docbeard posted:I can't decided if I liked The Holy Terror or not. I'm in the same boat. Good story, interesting premise, pretty great characterization in parts etc.... but the voice on the kid is really distracting and bad and it exposes how weak the dialogue is. People have told me in the past that maybe this was intentional or the point or something, but even if that is the case it's still bad! I never expected to enjoy Frobisher as much as I did though.

Literally a second after he said it was a faithtful reproduction of the 20s, a guy in a cybernetic eyepatch walked by and the Doctor said,"....well mostly."

The sequence was started with the song in the background though, before the whole 20s speil. I think the moonegg just has me on edge for silly, definitely-not-good things. Liking the rest of this episode though thus far so I'll forgive it.

I kind of wish they didn't show the clock. The watch sound might've been a better tension builder on its own. EDIT: \/ She and Perkins are pretty great so far. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Oct 11, 2014 |

I like Grieving Daughter. As temporary companions go, she's definitely in the good half. Perkins is great too. Mokinokaro posted:I kind of wish they didn't show the clock. The watch sound might've been a better tension builder on its own. The speed of it might be the problem. Clocks tend to be great tension builders when each tick is an Event all of its own.

That episode was absolutely fantastic and my favorite of the season so far. Just exceptionally good, I can't think of a single sour note. Edit: Next week Moffat warns kids to be scared of Banksy.

See? That was loving brilliant, and like I said previously, I could really take to Capaldi if the stories were not so loving retarded. This was a great episode, one of the best. e:also most of the music sounded like it was lifted from a 70's Colombo episode.
