When they first land on the planet which looks like the Cantina scene from Star Wars, the Doctor mentions how he first came here a very long time ago, with his grand-daughter.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Awww! I missed that.

DW: What P-C said. I liked the concepts but thought the execution was lousy. Could they have included any more singing? And could they have repeated any more of the flashbacks at the end? It's like the script ran short and they needed filler.

What Jon said.
Since I've seen almost no Classic Who, I heard the granddaughter mention, but didn't really get it (but could tell I was missing a reference).
Anybody else catch the Douglas Adams reference? When the Doctor was pointing out the different species to Clara, he said one of them was a "hooloovoo".

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Adams was a writer on Who, at least during the Tom Baker years.
I didn't think it was as strong a second episode with new companion as Beast Below, but it's still better than the pirate episode.

Thrive to spite them
Susan was the First Companionn, really. She and the Doctor are in London and Susan is going to school there. Two of her teachers, Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton are puzzled by her because she knows a lot about certain subjects but gets confused about the currency and current events. So they follow her and end up in the TARDIS and Susan, Barbara, Ian and the Doctor go on adventures.
The first years it was supposed to be partially educational so there are "history" trips through Earth's past along with more sci fi stuff. Like they go to Roman times and to the Aztecs and to Marco Polo and the Crusades (although the last two adventures didn't survive on tape).

The end of Vikings would have been more compelling if those snakes in the pit hadn't really obviously been non-poisonous boa constrictors and pythons.
Still, I was a bit surprised they disposed of Earl Haraldson so fast. (And what was his name, anyway, other than Son of Harald?)
As for Ragnar, the very first thing he should have done was marry off Siddy and her daughter to two of his supporters, so they would owe him. Leaving them alone for Rollo to snap up was just bad politics.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I saw that, Tom! I'm so excited! It's one of my favorite books of the last decade.
