Evil billowy scarves that talk back to you and wiped out a whole planet; it's as if the Stenza had Isadora Duncan and Tony Stark collaborate on weapons development.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, I did watch last night's Arrow, and...I just don't know. The flashforwards aren't interesting to me because William isn't interesting to me (though I like Roy).
I do enjoy seeing Vinnie Jones, though, so there's that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Not sure how I feel about the Stenza being made into a season-sized threat. The main thing I liked about Tim Shaw in the opener is just how rubbish he was. He's cheating at a leadership exam that asks whether a fully armed and armoured soldier can overpower a single unprotected civilian. The Daleks they are not!
Agree. I get that Chibnall is really into the "everything is NEW!" thing, but there's a reason those classic enemies keep coming back.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The TARDIS' new look is pretty epic.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Some other thoughts about Doctor Who this week. These are not complaints so much as maybe lost opportunities:
- It didn't really feel that much like a race, as everyone was travelling together. They could've kept the cast split into two groups for longer and have them actually compete. (Plus, more opportunity for Yaz to get some lines.)
- Some ideas in there that could have been developed further. (e.g. the TARDIS as a monument; the microbes in the water, especially on a desert planet; if this is a regular race, is there an audience?)
- And of course the big one: they really should have titled this ep "Doctor Who and the Bedsheets of Death".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Doctor Who and the Angry Rags"
Ooh, I like that one. Maybe for the season finale we'll get "Doctor Who and the Stroppy Baggage".
