DW 5.08. The Hungry Earth.
Funnily enough, what with posting 4 chapters of fic this week, I didn't have much time for writing this. Not that I had a lot of thoughts, but I wrote down some quotes and stuff. Spoilers will eat you, starting with your bottom...
- Firstly - the Gruffalo. Who will be the mouse, is my question. Guess we'll see soon enough.
- Team Poncho keeps being adorable, and I want the cut scenes now so I can see the Doctor/Amy conversation about Rory. Also the way he (Rory) says "It cost... a lot of money..." just cracks me up. Plus I saw a snippet of Arthur Darvill on breakfast TV, and loved him saying that Rory is enjoying 'running away with the Doctor' too. I ♥ them all!
- Amy: "Have you always been this disgusting?"
Doctor: "No. That's recent."
Love them!
- Something I noticed when Amy was being dragged under - she wants to know what it is. This is such an Amy thing (see Time of Angels) - she wants to counter fear with knowledge, and I think it's wonderful. Also poor, poor Doctor. Plus kudos to Rory for not throwing a tantrum, but being useful and helping (and looking after people, because he's a nurse, but unobtrusively so) and trusting the Doctor. I really like the dynamic.
- "I'm asking nicely - put them away." Mmmmmm, Quietly Scary Doctor, I like you very, very much.
- Doctor: "I was the same where I grew up."
Elliot: "Did you get a way?"
Doctor: "Yeah."
Elliot: "Do you miss it?"
Doctor: "So much."
Just perfect. And also I was reminded of “When I was a little boy, we used to live in a house that was perched halfway up the top of a mountain...” Oh Doctor.
- Doctor: "It doesn't do wood!"
Rory: "That's rubbish!"
Doctor: "Oi! Don't diss the sonic!"
And all I can hear in my head is Donna...
- "Did you just shush me?"
Oh Amy, you're brilliant!
- The Silurian. Now I've read up on them a little, but don't have much to say except I'm looking forward to seeing how things will play out tonight. Also, I love the outfit, it looks very... Old!Skool. (Dunno what else to call it.) And of course there was this:
The Doctor: "I'm the last of my species, and I know how it sits in a heart. So don't insult me."
Oh Eleven. (I'm with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
calapine - it's *magic* acting!)
- And finally: Nasreen. I adore Meera Syal anyway, but (having seen this ep 3 times by now) I loved watching Nasreen, the way she reacts to the Doctor and then just leaps in. Not just because we're once again shown how the Doctor has unfailing chemistry with older women, but because Nasreen is smart, capable and sees the Doctor as an *opportunity*, rather than a rival. Also she snapped his braces and I squeed! :)
