FYI, this episode review was accidentally listed under Season 1.

What are you talking about? I fart rose petals.

Pretty much every song by The Verve on their album “Urban Hymns.” “Bittersweet Symphony” was the hit and was great, but that album soars to greater heights. A masterpiece.

Honestly, I CAN’T tolerate any media that depicts violence to a cat, so I appreciate the warning. I suspect I seriously have a problem, because my reaction to a TV show or movie that depicts harm to a cat is explosive anger and even tears. I know it’s not real, and my reaction is irrational. But it brings me back to…

Yeah, not a bad ending at all.

If they had made the bee king at the end, putting a tiny crown on its head, the season would have been saved!

While his death was pretty shocking, I was really sorry to see him go so soon.

This episode was so rushed that it felt like a two-hour episode had been cut down into an hour. The most glaring example was that Ivar decided to go ask Rollo for help, and it seems like a few minutes later they were back with an army of Frankish troops! Don’t these voyages take time?

The frustrating part about that is it wasn’t Hartnell, and (just like the latest episode) didn’t exactly reflect the original character.

The real First Doctor was nowhere near as sexist as portrayed in this episode. They made it seem like a defining characteristic and that was just not the case. Doctor Who in the 1960s reflected sexist attitudes of the time, usually in more subtle ways (the men rushing into action, the girls screaming helplessly at…
