what do we do with the things that scare us?

[falling_voices]

Night Terrors, folks.

No separate bulletpoint lists this time, mostly because they'd be drastically overbalanced; there was just so much I adored about this episode, and so much that scared me shitless, and so much that I found resonated perfectly with DW's general theme of fairytales and childhood, that I have barely a couple derogatory things to

I have nothing to say but ALL OF THE ABOVE.

[kim47]

Ahahaha ♥ It really was a gorgeous episode, wasn't it?

/still trying to fix the HTML fail, oman

[kim47]

It really was. I do enjoy big story arcs, but my favourites almost always end up being standalones (Blink, Midnight, Vincent and the Doctor, The Doctor's Wife.) You sum it all up so nicely :D

Oh, reading this again gave me another minor freakout about Stephen Thompson writing The Reichenbach Fall rather than Mark. Dammit. I have so many problems with the two things he's written that I've seen (Curse and TBB)... ugh, I had decided I wasn't going to think about this.

ETA: congratulations on getting all the html fixed :D The new RTE has been fucking up everything I've tried to post.

[falling_voices]

HTML HAS BEEN VANQUISHED. o/ what the fuck was that mess upthread, LJ.

Vincent and the Doctor and The Doctor's Wife are so far my absolute favourites &hearts and the Shakespeare Code, I have to admit. 's hard to choose. And thank you, dear! :D

God, don't remind me. I'm glad Gatiss is tackling Hound(s), I really am, but between Moffat's views on woman for Scandal and Thompson frankly shit writing for Fall... well, I hope they shared notes, or something. See it that way: Curse was mostly, in my eyes, Thompson trying to imitate a sort of Doctor Who-ish feeling - and failing to, but that shouldn't interfere with Sherlock, since the two shows have a very different mood. TBB failed on racial issues and plot; the former won't be in Fall, hopefully, and the latter will be heavily influenced by Moffat&Gatiss, it has to be, it's a finale. So while I don't have hopes for a great episodes, I do hope it won't be a complete mess.

Personnellement, je n'ai pas été si emballée. L'épisode est bien mieux que celui de la semaine dernière, mais il était extrêmement lent dans sa narration, et ça m'a gênée. Et je n'ai pas été effrayée du tout par contre.

[falling_voices]

Je suis effrayée par absolument tout et n'importe quoi du moment que c'est sur écran/à l'écrit - moins dans la réalité, mais bon - donc je ne suis vraiment pas un repère à ce niveau-là... et franchement, j'ai bien aimé la lenteur de cet épisode, surtout après LKH, qui était très rapide et frénétique, donc on perdait beaucoup de choses au premier abord. Là on avait le temps de suivre l'action tranquillement, c'était sympa.

Les goûts et les couleurs, etc. :D

[maikichelorrain]

Exactement ^^

WAAAAAH.

Just. When Amy and Rory are first exploring the dollhouse, and are just realizing that something is Very Wrong.

Also, Amy was the one to "die". Hmmm.

[falling_voices]

Yeah, I loved that. Th design of that was lovely.

Well, Rory's 'We're dead, aren't we? the lift fell down and we're dead. We're dead. Again.' was fantastic, but yeah, that was interesting - and considering the previews for next week's episode, I wonder how they're going to tie that in.

[katty008]

It would be interesting if it turned out that Part 1 was the part where Rory dies, and Part 2 is the part where Amy dies. Some sort of bizarre back-and-forth thing.

[falling_voices]

I was thinking that too! 'The Couple Who Dies. Repeatedly.' Ahahahah it would be amazingggg ♥

[mirthalia]

Ahhh I have the feeling that I'm going to love this.

And also that you should read Castle Tourmandyne.

[falling_voices]

Yes! Yes you will! Watch it by all means.

I've never heard of it; I'll be sure to be checking it out now, though. :D Thank you!
