Reaction Post: "The Beast Below"
Random thoughts!
So the whole thing with the solar flares and the human race packing up and leaving for a bit -- that's all an Ark in Space reference, yeah? Love it.
Forget the smilers -- elevator floors that open up and drop you? THANKS FOR EXACERBATING MY FEAR OF ELEVATORS, MOFFAT.
Scotland gets its own ship -- lols voting SNP this election, Moffat? :)
Sophie Okonedo -- Amazingly awesome. Sad person that I am, I watched the Confidential just to see if there would be a mention of the last time she was on Doctor Who. Alas, no. *sigh*
Amy continues to be awesome -- this week she got to do some channeling of Jo and pick locks and save the day by pressing a giant button when the Doctor couldn't. FUCK YEAH. (Remember kids! If there's any tenuous way to make a Time Monster reference in a post, I will find it!)
Loved the bit at the end where Amy asks the Doctor if he's ever run away from something, and he's like, "Once." <3
Also, I love that all of Ten's Time War angst is reduced to, "There was a bad day, bad stuff happened." Oh Eleven, I really do love you a lot.
And I could still watch my icon, like, all fucking day.
