Did anyone else think the kids at the end were going to be Rose and Mickey and, I don't know, Sally Sparrow? Or that he was going to bring them all on a crazy adventure? You never know with this show.

I didn't imagine that about the kids, P-C, but now that you mention it, nothing every seems to be about nothing on this show.
Speaking of such, I'm still trying to figure out where I have heard the word "Petrichor' before. I'm terrible at anagrams, but the name of the Amy's perfume has to be significant in some way.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It was in "The Doctor's Wife."

It was the word that elicited the feeling or smell or something to open... something. Wow, I have an awesome memory (which is to say, no, I don't, because I can't remember what they were trying to open!). It's the smell of freshly fallen rain on dirt, right?

I won't see the ep until I get home, but...
It's the smell of freshly fallen rain on dirt, right?
That has a name?!!

Riiight.
Check out your big brains!
I could only grasp that I'd heard the word somewhere before...not even that it was a Who word!

I'm always amazed at things like, in German, there is a specific word for when you arrive at your table in a restaurant and there is no ashtray.
English seems so unimaginative in comparison.

It does! Which, of course, I did not know until I watched the episode where they used it as a hint or whatever. But it is a cool word, and it does evoke a particular smell! I can only imagine that the perfume they called Petrichor is, er, supposed to smell earthy but not that exact smell. It's a great smell, but I don't want to smell like it.

I completely missed what Amy's perfume was called, so thanks for pointing it out!
Overall a disappointing episode, I thought, Stormageddon and Petrichor aside. Which is a shame as I really liked "The Lodger".
