beccaelizabethDid they just MarySue Shakespeare?
*watches confidential*
... yes, yes they did.
Because obviously he's just that perfect.
... the whole thing is like one long geeky Lit in joke.
I mostly watched it with mute and subtitles because of the whole *facepalm* factor.
But if you play along it's, well, rather fun.
weird fun. Lilith has two mommies? ooo-kay...
Martha getting all the explanations was interesting. Her reactions being all different. And I still like her, even though I am still unsure about this episode.
The Doctor, however, is a big daftie who needs ice on his head. Instead of the never-mention approach he's doing the always-compare, to demonstrate why this is dumb. Okay. He can stop now.
Second episode with family in it, and loss of family. Shakespeare lost his son. Logically if the Doctor was a dad once and he's the last of the Timelords and before the war he was a father and a grandfather and then he wasn't, well, not much of a reach to call it comparison. Don't know if it's a Clue.
Randomly am reminded that that bit at the start where the Doctor was climbing all over the console had some nice moments of, er, how well that suit fits in the back.
Shakespeare flirting with the Doctor and the Doctor saying how all the people studying him is now yaays - that's just funny.
I'm still real dubious about this ep. I was more *facepalm* than playing along, unfortunately.
Oooh, cauldron with big eyes on it, pretty...
er, sorry, still watching the Confidential.
I liked it when the Doctor having no name made him immune to the spell, and naming Rose made him angry. Because that's old power of words stuff, can't define him can't control him.
*watching* I like the acting when Shakespeare is being puppety. Because it is Very Very Silly.
And the two hearts and only one stops bit was cool.
"Children know what witches are ... and you know she's a baddie"
I'm wondering if they have any clue at all about the feminist or religious issues in there.
Because they've imported all the bad along with the images.
I like the bit where the Doctor is all "that's one form of magic that definitely won't work on me" when she's being pretty at him. Because there might be kissing now, but it really shouldn't change his priorities.
On the other hand, it remains irritating that there are women using pretty to manipulate men. Just in general.
... although, she is indeed pretty.
"young, deadly, and very sexy girl in a lot of Hammer films"
yeah, they've no clue about the Issues there
... sometimes the Confidential just makes it all rather disapointing.
Elizabethan London was very pretty, when they invented it in long shots. Less pretty when they're chucking stuff out windows, obviously.
The Confidential keeps going to songvid. and it drags rather. They've played the same bits several times. not helpful.
... that bit at the start where the Doctor says he failed his TARDIS-driving test... that explains a lot.
Using pop culture references to explain the rules again... do the audience need to see that? But assuming they do need it that weren't a terrible way to do it.
The whole 'let's explain the anti-shippy bits in detail and tell you what to think' thing irritates me. I don't see how it's meant to do anything except annoy.
"How many times have we all been in that situation"
makes you wonder about Rusty's life
Heh, turning 50 extras into 3000 people. Yup, that's television.
this is classy.
actually the CGI were classy right up until the daft witchy portal bit. I mean, I knew they'd made it up, Elizabethan London, and I suspected about the crowds, but I didn't much *see* it. Being realistic was, you know, realistic.
oooh, tiny little running away people! Nifty!
I liked it when the Doctor was running the wrong way. For my sense of humour is sort of straightforward.
... yup, you can see her fillings when she cackles. I know she's alien but that just makes it double odd.
This ep could be fun or it could be annoying. Either would require work. Right now it's mostly *facepalm*
As fanfic it would be crack fueled genius, as new canon it's just a tad heavy on the quotes.
I don't know. I'll watch it again tomorrow with the sound on and see if I like it better.
