"We hooked up ONCE! Stop calling me!"

The whole sequence made no sense, but the explosion is probably the easiest to justify. If this is some important information node for the empire, rigging it to blow at the slightest provocation might just be empire protocol.

Well, given that they needed monitors, the glasses could be some sort of supplemental output device and not corrective lenses.

I think the face bit is more effective when you've been with Jaime for a while. You can relate to the Doctor and Zoe's confused and uncomfortable reactions.

Victoria's also taken pretty quickly to the reduced skirt length. That implies… something… though I'm not sure what.

It bugged me. Or rather, I was confused for about a second when I was trying to rationalize how all the plants being gone meant no one was suffocating from lack of oxygen and there was less carbon dioxide in the air. It was like 3 in the morning.

I feel Doctor Who would crossover well with Japanese superhero shows on that front alone.

They upgraded too much. D: Though, realistically, they'd eventually upgrade to synthetic organs and start looking creepy again.

Vampire Doctor
Hurt Doctor (Isn't that a wrestler?)

He said he forgot, remember?

I'm not sure you should be taking points off for the "base-under-siege" formula given how it's basically the first serial to use it.

Clearly, Rip Hunter used them to bind some horrible vortex monster in a time loop while the Doctor was too busy to handle it.

I thought the fights were pretty good by virtue of an unusual level of accuracy. There was one point where one of the Saxons took an axe strike, but instead of just keeling over like you'd expect in a choreographed fight scene from the 60s, proceeded to impale the guy with his sword.

Don't forget in the first episode when he first tried running and we were listening to his audiobook ramble on about metaphors.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it was the plot of a Horsin' Around episode.

That's troll logic. Death doesn't invalidate the quality of life.

This episode was the most terrifying thing I've watched since A Clockwork Orange.

I wonder if it's just a one off implication or if they'll revisit it. I'm hoping it's just an implication for this episode. It just feels too "Dark and Edgy Rape as Drama" when combined with her previously highlighted issues.

"My mom's boyfriend homeschools me. He's a photographer."

Don't blame the kid for the Absorbaloff. His idea was much better than what we got on screen. It was this sort of giant ogre/oni/troll alien and not the green, speedo-wearing fatass we got.
