Doctor Who - Thin Ice

[elenopa]

This season is going so well. Yay!!

Observations from a single veiwing,

• The wadrobe is in the same place, as The Doctor gives almost the same instructions to Bill as he gave to Rose "First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins, fifth door on your left."
• The Doctor likes Bill as he doesn't give her any grief over stuff. They have a good banter with the toungue sticking out and everything.
• Why did the Doctor give his hat away to the girl? Did he have a tracker in it so he could find them again quickly?
• Did the Doctor know about people disappearing before he got on the ice? He had been to the fair before (hello River! Shame she didn't get a cameo), so might have seen the lights already.
• Bill doesn't blanch before jumping through the ice into the thames. Go girl!!!
• Lots of dialogue reminded me of The Shakespeare Code, with Bill pointing out her colour and saying about the dangers of stepping on butterflies.
• Was the creature alien or just ancient and related to Nessy?
• What is this oath that Nardol keeps mentioning, and who was it to?
• Whatever is in the vault is alive. We are now being led to think "Master", but that may be a red herring. I'm reminded of the Midnight creature with the three knocks.
