I'm finally catching up on the past few seasons of Doctor Who. I miss Amy and Rory. I don't like Clara. I despite the whole Clara leads a double life and actively lies to Danny.
Hated Clara was in love with the Doctor and freaked when he got old but there was Madame Vastra which was bonus points.
Not sure if I like the current Doctor. I mean I think I like Peter what his name's acting but the weird manic energy mixed with anger and attempts at detachment don't work for me. Or maybe because I'm sick.
I want...a companion that is not from current times and in her 20s and from Earth. Alien would be good. And more stuff going on in space. These episodes based around the school are way less interesting than the UNIT episodes.
Was that meant to go in Boxed Set, askye?
Yes it did. This happens when I'm sick and on my phone.
Happens to all of us at one time or another.
It has certainly happened to me!
Man, that last scene between Fiona and Sherlock, in her apartment -- that right there is how awkward I feel with almost everyone, ever, all the time. I'm impressed.
Yeah, it was really well done, although I don't see how it can end well.
Do the Elementary writers not do their research, or do they just want to dumb things down for the viewers? They treated a diagnosis of MS as an imminently ruinous disease, when that's simply not so. Yes, it's not curable and does eventually progress, but it's very treatable, and I was legitimately shocked that Joan (who may no longer be a practicing physician but should at the very least know that MS is certainly treatable and manageable) didn't mention that.
It was WAY too simplified, to the point of being untrue, and there was no need for that.
Yes, I was disappointed. I was hoping that Joan would take the opportunity to school the Captain on the different reactions that people can have, and that's it's not a death sentence or a guarantee of infirmity or incapacity.
Obligatory Elementary post: so, the main plot of "Hounded" was just odd and totally unengaging other than the cute glowing bulldog. But DAMN, did Jonny Lee Miller kill it in his subplot with Hawes. I don't think we've seen that level of directly expressed concern and empathy from Sherlock before*, and it's such a contrast to Sherlock of S1 and S2. I'm so impressed with how he's developed this character.
*(Sherlock has a huge amount of concern/empathy/etc. for Joan, because she's his Watson. But I also think she's never been as traumatized as Hawes was, even after she was kidnapped, and even after Andrew died. And Sherlock's empathy is always going to be proportionate to the need, so I think that's why we've never seen it as directly expressed with Joan as it was with Hawes.)
