Doctor Who

Well fandom, pat yourself on the back, we certainly called that.

Can't say I particularly cared for the casual ableism, the fact that they seemed to think that they needed to take Amy's awesome to give it to Rory, and I'm giving the dead gay husband the side-eye. (Well the dead part, I was quite happy to have the gay husband part). Also very wary of the next episode just based on the title.

However I liked Lorna, I loved the Victorian Silurian Crime Fighter and her Lesbian Sidekick and fully expect lots of stories about them. I will be very disappointed otherwise.

In fact I am looking forward to all post episode fic fullstop.

And now I must go and get ready to go and see Shappi Khorsandi at the Hay Festival, so all further thoughts will have to wait til later.

I. Don't. Like. It.

Fandom certainly called it, and the whole time I was hoping it wouldn't be true. I don't know. It's just so... Luke, I am your father. Ohmigodthispersonwhowasherethewholetimeisourparentchildbrothersister!!!11

I was really, really hoping she'd be someone else.

But maybe that's just me.

I have to say I was really disappointed. After all the build up, it seemed pretty anti-climatic, and too obvious.

I'll wait and see where they go from here, but I worry it's something fandom is going to deal it [write] better.

I also thought this episode went WAY too fast. They were all "Demon's Run is the Doctor's darkest hour" but it just whooshed by all in one episode! Could've taken two episodes at least. This didn't really feel that epic or dark.
