Doctor Who: Tooth and Claw (spoilers)

[elbales]

Got to it eventually. Let's see. To sum up:

"Boomtown" < "Aliens of London" < "New Earth" < film of someone having a root canal < "Tooth and Claw"


Day-Glo Scottish Fighting Monks WTF.

Creepy dude in a cage. Cool. And Rose is actually being more proactive here. But WTF leftover Bad Wolf whateveritis. That should be interesting.

The Doctor and Rose, Space Tourists, squeeing over teh kewl way-ur-wolf thingy that HELLO just killed a bunch of people? Where's the compassion? The compassion?? Even Six had more Tender Feelings for Lower Life Forms. Hubris = Doctor?

So why is it again that Tennant isn't just speaking in his native accent? Bleh.

Mistletoe? *facepalm* But Scottish Lady Victorian Leaders of the Future w00t.
Nifty telescope--though the diamond thing? Lame.

OH PLEASE MR. DAVIES HIT ME OVER THE HEAD ABOUT THE TORCHWOOD THING AGAIN I DIDN'T GET IT THE FIRST THREE TIMES.


We are not amused.

Mistletoe?

Yeah... what the heck ever happened to good old fashioned wolfsbane?

Best part with the diamond was when the Doctor tossed it to Queen V like it was a hacky-sac. The look on her face! Priceless.

[elbales]

No kidding.

One wonders just how much a diamond that size would weigh, anyway.

Worse than herpes!

Six had more Tender Feelings for Lower Life Forms. Hubris = Doctor?

Hey, remember that bit from Trial of a Time Lord when Six is yelling at the megalomaniacal robot and accusing it of hubris? Anyone?

So why is it again that Tennant isn't just speaking in his native accent? Bleh.

I can do better Mockney than that. Lots of planets have a Paisley!

At least we have treatments for herpes.

Actually, I've never seen "Trial." The bits of Six I've seen come from clips and such. I was recalling his oh so clever snark after those two guards fell in a pool of acid in whatever episode that was.

MmmmPaisley.

Hee!

Do you mean for those inequality signs to go the other direction? What you have implies that "Tooth and Claw" is better than a film of someone having a root canal. /analytical

This makes me so freaking annoyed. Just when I want to get into a TV show it turns bad. BAH.

[elbales]

Yes, I did want less-than signs. "Tooth and Claw" was indeed better than a root canal film. But you'll notice I was comparing it to "Boomtown" and "Aliens of London," so it's still down there in the "really rather crap TV" trenches. And hey! They're all RTD scripts. Coincidence? HA HA HA I are funny.

I'm hoping that the season will pick up from here, simply because Davies isn't writing the next few scripts. God his stories suck.
