Doctor Who - Cold War - Secondary Reactions

Okay so... I was babysitting my nephew again this evening. He was being very fussy and upset through the last half hour of Doctor Who. Luckily for me, BBC America shows the episode twice. As I'm typing this, I'm waiting for the second airing so I can give you my reactions as I watch.

SPOILER WARNING

If you have not seen tonight's episode of Doctor Who, please leave the blog and come back later. The following Secondary Reactions contain spoilers.

Doctor Who - "Cold War" - Secondary Reactions

  • Awesome CG ice shot
  • The captain has a very large hat
  • This was a little freaky the first time around, until that guy started singing and then it was weird.
  • I don't like that guy. He's the usual military idiot who's too messed up about his own crap to do the smart thing.
  • And this kid's an idiot who really ought to listen to the people in charge of him.
  • Still in love with the opening.
  • Oh dude, the music has a bit of funky old flair in it. I like it.
  • Flashbacks to "The Waters of Mars."
  • Fail, Doctor. Stop promising people warm places and then putting them somewhere cold.
  • You're an idiot, First Mate Guy.
  • Why does he have a Barbie?! That is not explained.
  • Bye bye, TARDIS.
  • I do quite love how the Ice Warrior sounds like the Basalisk from Harry Potter.
  • The funky light made the Ice Warrior look sparkly there for a moment.
  • Here's where I thought The Doctor might have met Skaldak in his third or fourth incarnation. Don't know if that happened or not, I haven't actually seen those episodes.
  • His chin does not match the CG chin he has later.
  • Clara looks good in that jacket.
  • Except there had to be time to explain them to people.
  • How are they enemy agents?
  • Lol, and she's quick to realize there's weirdness with the language.
  • I like how they didn't give the actors Russian accents.
  • Dude, the captain didn't prod him with the cattle prod! Some guy who probably wasn't there to hear the "don't attack him" bit prodded him.
  • So it's Clara. This bit's funny.
  • "Oh yes, you can totally do that -- but no, no you can't. Not happening." - The Doctor's face.
  • She needed to find somewhere else to put the light.
  • Out goes the power...
  • That line's slightly funny, and yet brilliant.
  • Smart Clara is smart.
  • Ice Warrior armor opens like a Dalek.
  • I grinned at that, first time around.
  •  Futile door banging.
  • Really fast Ice Warrior.
  • That was kind of a sweet moment.
  • Dun dun dun.
  • Don't ever say that. Ever.
  • Lots of drippyness in this episode. It's amazing the sub hasn't filled up with water by now.
  • This is where the idiot gets it. Good riddance.
  • Creepy hands! They're like raptor hands.
  • That one dude kind of looks a little like David Tennant.
  • You're not a warrior, you're an idiot.
  • Yeah, because the alien's totally interested in winning a human war...
  • The conversation about time being in flux. Came much quicker with Clara than anyone else, I think.
  • Yay, Sonic! Why the Barbie!
  • Red Shirts.
  • I like the old guy.
  • Clara, Clara, Clara.
  • Sing with the old guy.
  • Back to the red shirts.
  • Of course she's not going to argue, she's not one of your other companions.
  • Hooray for slide-y floors.
  • No crap, really?
  • This part is amusing. All he wants to know is about Ultravox.
  • This is where Skaldak looks like a toad.
  • Grab some patience, Skaldak.
  • Of course the armor is robotic, at least in part.
  • Okay, those tendril things are weird.
  • Mars Martial Law. Why do people always attempt to impose their laws on others?
  • Red Light time.
  • Skaldak looks like a horny toad.
  • Tractor Beam!
  • See, a little patience, Skaldak.
  • He totally doesn't want to.
  • Yay!
  • Awkward Doctor is awkward.
  • I'm so glad they didn't kiss just then. The older Who fans would have bitched about it FOREVER.
  • He's allowed.
  • The H.A.N.S. lol.
  • Of course it's at the South Pole. That's just like her.
  • Love The Doctor's reaction to people laughing at him.

Housekeeping

I am planning to do reviews for last week's episode and this week's episode of Doctor Who tomorrow. At least, that's what I'm planning to do. There's shopping to be done so... I don't know.

Love ya, Jessie. love0052 Free Emoticons   Love
