Good morning everyone! Doctor who spoilers time!
On this weeks episode of doctor who.... Donna and the Doctor get scared and frightened by aliens but they manage to escape in the end. It's a good episode. the plot isn't convoluted. The main villain is scary and cool. There is funny jokes. There is goofy silly moments. there is mystery. there are emotional character moments. the setting is neat. There's nothing really going on in this episode for me to make fun of. Sometimes simple is better and they honestly nailed it this time.
Still i fell like i SHOULD like, actually say some stuff about this episode so here's some fun facts!
-We run into Isaac Newton when he is coming up with the Theory of Mavity (you know, when he is getting hit in the head with an apple!). Donna and the Doctor make a funny pun joke about 'mavity' and Isaac Newton (who probably correctly hears them) thinks that 'mavity' is a wonderful word. and so that's where the word mavity came from. Bootstrap paradoxes are fun! It was cool to see a cameo from Isaac Newton! But you gotta be careful when interacting with historical figures, so I'm glad they didn't accidentally alter history! Something could have easily gone wrong!
-You know those quotes from doctor who that really help reinvoke the fear you feel when watching episodes, due to their strong association with the scariness? I'm talking about quotes like "Are You My Mummy?" and "Don't Blink." and "Hey! Who Turned Out All The Lights?!" Now introducing... "My arms Are Too Long"
-the invincible all powerful tardis is exploded REALLY badly by accidental spill of coffee on the controls. Fortunately, the Doctor is able to turn it off and on again. Unfortunately, the long disabled 'run away if danger is detected' setting is reactivated, and the Tardis runs away. Fortunately, upon detecting that the monsters are about to be defeated, the Tardis returns! Unfortunately, the monsters are ABOUT to be defeated, so they aren't defeated yet but ... it worked out it's fine
-stuff from the 13th doctor era was mentioned, Timeless Child, Flux. Big things that had large lore-implications, but the episodes that portrayed them just weren't good enough to make me remember more than the most basic details about them. Fortunately, the Doctor remembers it so that I don't have to.
Overall Review:
Main Villain: long arm people
Births: long arm people
deaths: long arm people, alien pilot, alien robot
Total Birthrate: -1 alien pilot and -1 alien robot
Moral of the Story: try not to spill coffee. easier said than done though. Oh also, did you know that something continues to exist even when you aren't looking at it? this is known as object permanence.
Overall Rating: 9.9/10. I liked this episode so much
