We may both rag on the silliness and threadbare stories in this show, particularly in this episode — but I don’t need any more detail on Jack Harkness turning into a giant head in a fish tank. You die and revive enough times, that’s the end result 🤣
I think that’s the sort of gaps that could never be filled satisfactorily on screen. They’re much better as a space where viewers’ imaginations roam wild instead.
It’s funny, I kept mentally comparing this one to “The Beast Below”, which is a similarly madcap re-introduction episode…but I fucking love “The Beast Below”. I guess it comes down to execution.
In terms of wall to wall far out aliens, Earth’s future, Rose all giddy traveling with a new Doctor, and of course Cassandra, my mind went to The end of the world, but that was probably too in the nose.
I quite agree about The beast below, also a companion’s first space jaunt, right? And boom, Amy get to walk away from Omelas, but it’s future UK in space. Can we just stick to Moffat episodes?
