calm down, take a Deep Breath...
OH MY GOSH GOOD RASSILON THAT WAS SO FREAKING AHMAHZING!!!!!!!
what even just happened? mind=blown. all the feels.
Capaldi is here. Clara is here. Vastra and Jenny and Strax are here. (and the amount of Vastra/Jenny fanfic fuel in this ep? ehrmahgersh.)
this was gonna be a full blown uber awesome review of the entire ep, but high school seniors need their sleepytimes and posts must be made before the moment passes, so I'ma just throw this out there now, and go back over it in my free time later on like in my non existent free time.
::I was so tired when I posted this, I meant to say something about the actual ep lolz::
Honestly though, Capaldi made a grand entrance. His first scene was absolutely hilarious, I think Clara's official new nickname should be "thingy". And he was very clear about his not flirting with the dinosaur.
Before we get to him though, I'd like to backtrack to the opening scene. For one, Jenny's sonic device, the gauntlet on her arm, which was designed by a little boy who entered the CBBC contest to create sonic devices for each of the Paternoster Gang and won, made its appearance here. Vastra's conversation with the fellow from Scotland Yard was chock full of passive aggressive sass. I mean really, "it coughed up a blue box labeled police" and he thought "it just laid an egg!" Yes, dear, his "grasp of anatomy troubles me" too. And the confining lanterns- she's just like 'off you pop, there's a good boy'. She's got her official liaison trained like a dog.
And back to Capaldi. I mean really, this scene doesn't even need describing. If you know how to access the internet, which you presumably do if you're reading this, then you've seen enough gifsets to cover the whole thing.
I did really love the "accents" bit, and Vastra knocking him out with her sly Silurian telepathy skills.
Jenny's line to Clara deserves it's own paragraph of shining praise. "I don't like her, ma'am, I love her. And as for being strange, she's a lizard." This is officially one of my favorite Who ships now. I'm calling it "Jenastra".

this episode makes me so happy.
