Doctor Who Hide and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

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 ( Read more... )

I'm excited for the Vastra and Jenny episode too. Even Jago and Litefoot got their own spin-off audio series, why can't Vastra and Jenny get somethign similar, dammit? Is it because they is lesbians?

If he could, Moffat would love to give them their own show. He'd call it 'Tipping the Scales'. :)

The Moff can never pass up a good pun. (His favourite is the The Big Bang...)

And the icons are by redscharlach, who is a genius.

MISPRONOUNCIATION OF METEBELIS 3. So judgey.

I KNOW, RIGHT? So, so judgey. (Why did no-one correct him before filming? Grr.)

...but on the other hand, hee, Metebelis 3! *draws hearts and flowers*

I can see why they didn't - as a kid I'd have been freaked out enough and wanted a big metaphorical hug at the end
My 7 year old left the room with about 10 minutes left... Had to convince her that the ending was good and not scary. <3

Can't we have a companion going "omg, that's amazing, that means we're all alive, all the time to you! That's brilliant!" A bit more glass half full and less emo would be winning.
Well she IS a ghost to him. And then the episode went on to make exactly the point you do: She is ALIVE!

And I did roll my eyes at UGLY ALIENS HAVE FEELINGS TOO. But whatevs, really, minor complaints about what was a proper good episode
*points to icon* Moffat Who in a nutshell. (And the ugly aliens were totes Doctor/River mirrors!)

I'm a bit nervous about next week. On the one hand, Vastra&Jenny totally not a backdoor pilot, omg, yay! AND DIANA RIGG. On the other, Gatiss is writing. FINGERS CROSSED.
Like I told Promethia: Eat your greens, they're good for you. (Supposedly...)
