- I liked the ep, but *sighs* I'm still looking mostly to Classic for my Dalek fix. It did feel like a 40s radio serial, which I liked. I kept waiting for the Phantom to run in.
- The beginning felt rushed and I didn't really feel for any of the guests, not even for Ms. Brokenhearts who lost her pilot boyfriend and I think I was supposed to feel for her. Oh well.
- Too bad we couldn't get a Nancy cameo. She was one of my favorites from S1.
- Unfortunately, if I didn't know anything about Winston Churchill beforehand, I'd think he didn't do much in WW2 besides smoke cigars and sign things? Also steal TARDIS keys. Tricksy prime minister! Though that is a bit scary since Churchill had a scientist that might have actually understood the inner workings of the TARDIS had Amy not caught his tricksiness.
- I did like Dr. Bracewell (heh, nice names, Moff), though disarming a bomb by reaching out to it's humanity? Eh. A bit too much like Cylons only successfully crossbreeding when they're in love. Robotics foiled by the power of love again (and why was there even a first time? *sighs*).
- That is the biggest wrench I've ever seen. And Eleven is unleashing his own Dalek-breakdown with it (but big wrench is BIG).
- BIG GIRL CLOTHES ON AMY! AND I LOVE HER STYLE OMG!! *girlcrushing*
- Fetching all that tea and the Daleks had never seen a cookie before? I guess I've got to blame it on war rationing?
- Oh! Pretty colors! And I shall dub them the Dell Inspiron Daleks. Daleks Inspiron?
- Spitfires. in. SPACE. Though my brainmeat was ruining it for me and all I could think was "Independence Day".
- "You ever fancy someone you know you shouldn't?" Oh no. Well, at least she seems to have a sense he's unattainable, which is more than Rose or Martha got? Rose was pleasant to Reinette, vice versa. I'm going to hope the same can be said for meetings/interactions in the upcoming ep.
Next week: O HAI RIVER! And Weeping Angels. Looks like I'll be vacuuming behind the sofa before the next ep. Also meandering around in a cave? Amy needs to watch out for Cybermen. Also possibly giant clams.
