Dr Who and vampires (The vampires of Venice)

Warning: don't read this entry until you have seen the 6th episode of the Matt Smith Dr Who episodes

This episode has a nice real start, a romantic start. "Have I burst out of the wrong cake again?" Lol @ the goofy Doctor!

Venice may have been romantic in its time but it probably stank with those goats and stuff hanging around!

Owing Casanova a chicken is just the kind of thing I expect the Doctor to do heh.

The veiled women were suspicious from the start, even before 1 of them showed her vampire fangs. My Gods their voice unity is creepy. Vampires didn't strike me as conformist like.

This is excellent, Amy and the Doctor are actually getting excited at the prospect of the vampiric challenge.

Vampires surround the Doctor! So they weren't vampires after all. This is Dr Who there had to be something else about them! Their Queen had some sort of imagine inducer like Nightcrawler from the X-men, as seen here:

Impending doom and the Doctor climbs the tower, he saves the day! Woo!

"Tell me Doctor, can your conscience carry the weight of another dead race?" Powerful stuff, especially considering I had read the Dark Phoenix saga a few hours ago. Read Frank Miller's Wolverine also, just as brilliant!

With that I hand you to our regular guest. Hit it Normie!

Thank you Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of: Non-sparkly vampires

Dr Who episode 2

Right, good evening readers! Today I'm going to have a special focus on the second episode of the new Dr Who episode 2.

A couple of minutes in and is slightly creepy with those horrible clown like grinning manaquin things. Some red hellish portal appears and a kid falls in it.

Finally we arrive back to the tardis with serene music and of course the wonderfully manic, eccentric doctor, this one the 11th incarnation played by Matt Smith.

I like the sky country idea, it reminds me of Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines series of books.

I sense a dystopian world theme, but I'm new to Dr. Who so I am prone to sounding like a noob about it. Such as asking my housemate why the Doctor doesn't lock the Tardis when he was away from it. He sensibly replied: because he does lock it. Ah makes sense.

I haven't absorbed some of the basic details yet. Being new to the series I'm still looking at it with a sense of fresh amazement, I hope that stays.

Wow a badass Red Riding Hood appeared, calling herself the Queen. Mint. Wait she is the Queen. Cool. I felt sorry for the star whale though.

And now over to my regular guest: Norman Osborn.

Thank you Geordie Green Lantern. Today I approve of: cosmic whales.
