Doctor Who - "Into the Dalek" - Initial Reactions

Intro

First "proper" Peter Capaldi adventure. Annoying as all get-out Daleks to help welcome our new Doctor.  Not entirely looking forward to it.

SPOILER WARNING: Don't read if you haven't seen the episodes. Also don't expect to follow along... my thoughts are random.

Doctor Who - "Into the Dalek" - Initial Reactions

  • Oh joy, crashing space ship...
  • Hello Dalek mothership.
  • Bye bye little ship.
  • Oh look, you got rescued by the best ship in the universe.
  • Gotta love being held at gun-point.
  • Lol. Doctor gets to remind soldier of her manners.
  • How nice of you, soldiers.
  • And of course we gotta deal with a Dalek... So far, though, not bad.
  • Hello PE teacher.
  • You're creepy and annoying, Ms. Secretary person...
  • Kids are dumb. That's clearly a "yes."
  • Wow, Clara. Nice.
  • Awkward...
  • Also, Danny's not a PE teacher.
  • And now Danny's reminding me of Mickey...
  • Lol, Clara.
  • Lol, I thought they were going out for coffee...
  • Doctor, that's so weird... and there's the explanation.
  • Of course that's unhelpful.
  • A Dalek who wants to destroy the other Daleks. Sounds like Dalek Khan...
  • "Do I pay you? I should give you a raise." - Doctor
  • "I am a school teacher." - Clara
  • "I don't need armed babysitters." - Doctor
  • "Don't be lasagna." - Doctor
  • Honey I Shrunk The Doctor
  • So trippy.
  • So nice of the Daleks to build their armor with corridors.
  • So now we're naming it? Okay then... Rusty.
  • Yeah, don't shoot the living thing. Bad plan.
  • That was pragmatic of you, Doctor. I like that, actually.
  • Down the LED slide.
  • EWWWW
  • Daleks eat people? Well then. That's kind of cool.
  • So we get some quoting from the Dalek that's been re-purposed from Trek. Well then.
  • Rusty is watching you and you have no idea...
  • I think you've been played there, Doctor.
  • You fixed the Dalek too much.
  • Slow mo was not necessary there...
  • I love it when things don't go right and people freak out when they were perfectly aware they might have gone wrong.
  • So now what are we doing?
  • Memory banks. W00T.
  • You've gone and made me tear up, Gretchen Allison Carlyle.
  • Oh look, TARDIS save once again... or else Missy the insane woman. Damn.
  • I am generally unaffected by the Daleks massacring people... seen it fifteen jillion times too many.
  • Science!
  • Yup. Of course the Dalek would focus on that.
  • Goodbye, Daleks...
  • You turned the Dalek into a kind of Hitler...
  • And that's at least the second time a Dalek has said that to him...
  • She's going to try to go with them?
  • And that's where he's saying "no."
  • I'm slightly disappointed for her.
  • "I think you try to be and I think that's kind of the point." - Clara
  • Oh geez. That dress on Clara in the preview is awesome.

Doctor Number 12 Announced

Introduction

I would of course be remiss in my duties as self-appointed nerd blogger if I did not post about the fact that the new Doctor has been announced. Of course, it also happened approximately 8 hours ago at the time I'm writing it so... I'm a bit late. But I never said I was doing a news site, so there we go.

PETER CAPALDI IS THE 12th DOCTOR!

Yup, that's right, Peter Capaldi. I think this makes the second time The Doctor has regenerated into someone who looks an awful lot like someone he's already met. The first time, if I'm not mistaken, was Colin Baker. Colin had previously played Comander Maxil in "Arc of Infinity." Capaldi was, of course, in "The Fires of Pompeii" during David Tennant's run as Lucius Caecilius. (Of course he's been in lots of other stuff, but I don't have time to list them all here.)


I, for one, think Capaldi will be an excellent Doctor. I'm also really glad we got an older Doctor this time, even if it wasn't a non-white guy or a female.
