Back, plus last weekend's Doctor Who

[shapinglight]

Over two weeks since the wedding and I'm still finding I don't seem to have anything to say. Has anyone else who has had an extended LJ break for any reason had this happen to them?

Anyway, was away over the weekend and just caught up with last Saturday's Doctor Who...

Spoilers behind cut



...the bank robbery episode.

Loved it, have to say - far and away the best episode of the series so far, and not just because of the brief glimpse of dear old Captain John Hart.

I liked the premise of the episode, I liked the guest characters, I loved the Doctor being all vicious and hating himself. I even loved the Tellers walking off into Jurassic Park.

And Clara wasn't in the slightest bit annoying.

More like this one please.

I do find the more I post, the more I post. And even a couple of days off breaks that, unless I have fic to share or something that actually needs to go up.

Enjoyed Who too. Very much. It had some zing, at last.

I'm glad it's not just me. I can't think of anything much to say either on my LJ or to anyone else. :(

I post infrequently, but I do blame that on the fact that I don't post very often - if I build up momentum with a few posts I find I do continue (until something occurs to break the pattern and it's easier to slip back into 'reading not posting').

I enjoyed this week's Who too!

Seems it's a common phenomenon, then.

Glad you liked DW. That makes three of us so far.

I have to admit I found myself being a tiny wee bit bored by this one half the way though. And I was back to finding 'smiler' (Clara) bloody annoying again for some weird reason.

I think this was the first episode I was never bored while watching. The other four have all had parts I thought dragged terribly.

Maybe you could try one of those 30 days memes to get you into the habit of posting?

And I really enjoyed the new Doctor Who episode as well. Very entertaining, even though I guessed the twist pretty quickly. The only issue I had with is the same that I've had with most of Moffat's run, which is that I think it lacked heart. I just didn't feel fr the charactars, like I should have (and like I probably would have, in a similar episde during RTD's run).

Hmm, maybe. Never done one of those.

I get what you mean about lack of heart, though I found the guest characters in this episode engaging enough that I was sad when I thought they were dead.

To be honest, I was a wee bit bored, but I liked the ending.

[shapinglight]

Heh! I think this was the first episode of the series where I wasn't bored at some point.

Yes, this one was much better!

[shapinglight]

Seems to be a bit of a two-way split about it. Either it was better or it was boring.

It was fun but a bit predictable in terms of plot twists - though that didn't make it boring cos it was still well paced etc.

the brief glimpse of dear old Captain John Hart

Eh? I completely missed that. When was it?

[shapinglight]

It was when the Doctor was flicking through the roll of villains.
