No, really?

Some unsorted reactions:

Ben and Polly are the most inept time travelers ever. It's like somebody's D&D or Deadlands campaign. They're all *investigate investigate investigate* hey, we could just leave! Okay, let's do that!

I suppose this is technically more "the Stolen Earth" than "Journey's End" but, so, the Doctor totally get's hit with a glancing blow from a Dalek weapon (we know it's only a glancing blow, because he only half lights up :P). And this triggers all kinds of Seriously Bad Times, right ( Read more... )

There was a throw-away line on tvtropes about UNIT having "fought the Sontarans before." Unless they have multiple New Series episodes I don't know about, I don't think this can possibly be true ( Read more... )

Seeing William Russel in a toga in "The Adventures of Sir Lancelot" got me hankering to rewatch "The Romans." So I'm listening to it in the background - the Doctor is so delightfully obnoxious ( Read more... )
