2.08 Full Metal Monk
(Alternate Title: D'Avin and the Green Goo)

Spoiler

Good grief! How much plasma can one Level 6 hold? Apparently it's under high pressure, given D'Avin's unexpected green goo face-washing and gargle.

Seems like he's getting a handle on controlling his power over the the stuff. I liked his request for a little transcendental guidance from Alvis: "Monk me up a bit."

That was some good stuff that made them "helpless, happy drones." So, it is in the air, but so low a concentration that Johnny couldn't find it? Or, is Johnny just a very poor chemist?

I'm not sure how good evidence that the photo will be. Surely, there is cctv everywhere? So, lack of film of the guy actually being shot is really evidence that it wasn't them that did it.

I also thought, at the beginning, when Pawter was walking around Old Town incognito a hooded cloak, surely someone would recognise one of the Nine, hood or not. She is no longer the exiled daughter Doctor, now she is a very important person who could be held hostage, or who you could beg for money, or a pardon or even just for some food and water.

It has also gone all superhero again with D'avin's new power to explode heads. Very retro Scanners.

And just so we can have every trope in the book, we are obviously close to meeting Dutch's evil twin too.

Johnny is a geek, not a chemist.

It was a miracle D'avin escaped from Red 17 programme without being transformed into another killing machine. And in thi sepisode we found out thre were seveal failed experiments of this kind.

D'avin can do strange things with the green plasma, just the way Dutch's evil twin can do later in the series. I cannot say more without spoiling the thread, so I will give you the time to watch the other episodes and talk about later.
