Just watched 2:
I don't know where to begin. Its all been said. The big arc of the schoolteacher is just going to get annoying. I wonder what's hiding in the attic, cellar, bike shed and what dark secret we are going to have to suffer to explain the tears - Is he going to be the brother from this episode or is he just a war criminal hiding in plain sight.
OK Miniaturise a few people and let them swim through an eye - yeah that's a brilliant idea if it wasn't for the problem that the eye is mechanical and in the old days actually had a camera iris. Why the shape shifting/stretching?
Then we get to the innards and we have Luke Skywalker targets acting as antibodies. Where do they go when the daleks die by the way, Anyway one out of ten for originality - surprised there isn't a law suit on the way even as we speak?
Never heard of daleks being fed. Where do the dropping go - How come their not sliding about in piles of sh*t whenever we see them, say on their ship. What does dalek sh*t smell of? So into the belly of the beast. No one gets their skin burnt off by the stomach acid no fumes no point, oh apart from the absolutely nonsensical 'big nut'. I suppose it did give the producer a chance to get Clara sliding about in green mud though.
Then we wander about in Chernobyl, radiation effusing the place like it was going out of fashion - Odd that wasn't detected before they went in though. After all they had enough tubes attached to the thing you would think as they opened the lid to attach them they might have noticed an off the scale radiation reading. It was a bit odd all those tubes weren't evident when they got inside too.
And so to the man of steel section where our hero grabs the ends of the power lines and fuses them together with his heat vision: oh sorry not even the old screwdriver: and magically Who is in the brain of old Rustie. Yeah that was where it started to make sense.
So old Who shows him literally a Kaleidoscope (that prop department 'eh, it looked so real) and Rusty sees the light and instead of going berserk killing the humans it goes berserk killing the daleks, who, so shocked by this unwarranted attack fail completely to shoot back and they all die.
Amazing, incredible, I take my hat of the scriptwriters, they are obviously masters of their skill and without doubt underpaid. That they could come up with such a unique twist for our intrepid villains beggars belief.
But wait, there's more, Clara has to be put back 'in her box' for the over arching story.
The only good thing was the superb efforts by the prop department,t blowing its weekly budget on the flexible hoses - That was like a throw back to the sixties. (Or was it Brazil)
I'm resisting (and failing) the blatant reference to the dead soldier going to heaven in the form of the Mad Hatters Tea Party. Is this a clue to the over arch - The series ends with Tardis dumping them all in Wonderland and the soldier schoolteacher is in fact a Queen of hearts guardsman.
Where's the Cheshire cat, Who is the walrus, order more yellow belly custard and watch out for that yellow submarine.
