Doctor Who Hide and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

[calapine]

I thought Hide was smashing, and possibly that Neil Cross had delivered his script and said "look guys, I'm REALLY SORRY, but I kind of forgot we're making Doctor Who in the twenty-first century and wrote a top-notch seventies adventure featuring UNIT instead. THAT'S OKAY, RIGHT?" and Moffat said, "Yes, of course, I shall make one or two

I'm QUITE NERVOUS about "The Crimson Horror"! I mean, it has a majority-female guest cast! BUT GATISS! On the other hand, he's usually quite good with Victoriana. BUT GATISS! It looks like a rip-off of my favourite Sally Lockhart novel! BUT GATISS!

Etc.

Well said.

I enjoyed both, which makes it 2 for 2. I am happy with this series so far! I wish Clara would scream less, though.

Really loved the Doctor going antiheroic in the latest one.

Vastra&Jenny and Diana Rigg? (What's with Diana Rigg being on all the shows lately? Can we continue this trend?) I make squee noises.

So very very judgey about METEBELIS 3's pronunciation! (Or as I quoted Steve Rogers -- "I got that reference!")

I sighed a little over "Hide" though. The fantastic/paranormal on Doctor Who is *always* aliens (or time travelers or...) or some explainable thing. I did like Emma & Palmer as a ghost-psychic investigating duo, more than I expected. 11 seems to do a lot of creepy things happens in houses stories.

Any idea why being burned by the Eye of Harmony would turn people into manic, flesh-hungry, future time zombies instead of just...killing them? Or is this something I shouldn't question?

So much love for the last couple episodes! I love it when Doctor Who gets proper creepy.

P. sure that was just echoes of the moments they were burning/falling apart, not a new life state.... thing.

[stick_poker]

But echoes of moments don't chase and attack people, and these things did. (This was bothering me too.)

[spiffynamehere]

I dunno. :|a I saw them as less attacking as being in agony and reaching out to whoever was closest. Maybe whatever happened to them was catching?

...It didn't make much sense all around, let's be honest. Especially since they were apparently supposed to be dying within a minute in the Eye and then hung out there for like, five minutes.

OMG THE CLOISTER BELL. Every time I hear it it's like bloody Pavlov's bell or something. And even with the mispronunciation, I still enjoyed the Metebelis 3 mention.
