Ha! That was pretty great. I think Felicia Day posted that link, but I wasn't what it was about.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They devamped Tesla? WTF was the point of that? Now he attracts silver? And why would he make a two-pronged neutraliser?
I missed Henry.

And why would he make a two-pronged neutraliser?As soon as I saw that tube, I knew what was going to happen. Tesla is a genius but he doesn't know to make sure his gun only shoots in one direction? Feh.
Other than that, and agreeing in the missing of Henry and the Big Guy (they're at Comic Con! I guffawed...and then wished they would show video of that), I enjoyed the ep.
It makes perfect sense that Tesla's mad plan would have that teeny tiny flaw...so eloquently pointed out by Magnus. Death, the one thing an immortal wouldn't think about.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Tesla's point to the kids about them not being ready to take over the world was really a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I mean, yes, he's a brilliant Mad Scientist and your go-to guy if you need a death ray built out of an ipod and some Christmas lights, but I'm amazed he was able to get it together and organize underlings well enough to run that clinic for several months, never mind take over the reins of global civilization for the next few centuries.

True that. I just assumed he hired a really good manager.

This pre-Waters of Mars Doctor Who special is making me nostalgic for CE's Doctor. And Rose, for that matter.
CE really did knock it out of the park, didn't he?

I really wish CE had done more than one season.

Ooh! SyFy is showing Mansquito tonight! Now I can finally see how ridiculous it is.
