shapinglightSooo, last night's DW (which was the first episode of the new series I watched on its first broadcast)...
Slight spoilers behind cut
...was again, IMO, an improvement from the (so far) series low of Listen. Again, I enjoyed all the guest characters and the overall plot, though daft, was fun. Plus, the Doctor got some great lines of dialogue.
'Course, it wasn't really about the MOtW, but about Clara's relationship with Danny, and what the Doctor thinks of it - and that does puzzle me slightly.
I get that the Doctor is jealous and doesn't like the idea of Clara drifting away (which she clearly is), but much is being made of him not liking Danny because he's an ex-soldier, and I just don't remember the Doctor having such an antipathy to the military.
Well, okay, he's anti-killing things, which is what soldiers do, but he seemed to get on pretty well with the Brigadier, as I recall.
Not that it matters. I think the whole, "I don't like him because he's a soldier" is just an excuse anyway.
