Some Thoughts on Doctor Who 8.2: Into the Dalek

 2.00 - 2.23: In transitioning from the Universe's boyfriend, he has somehow become her father. Wait, ew. 

2.09 - "GET it right." Fuckin' Capaldi, man.

 2.26 - "big fella" I love it when the Doctor refers to space vessels as people. It shows his personal connection to the TARDIS.

2:39 - SPACE TURD

2:52 - The War Doctor. My eyes are raining on my face.

3:01 - The Doctor giving notes to his companions like a director gives notes to an actor.

4:40 - That. face.

***Opening Credits***  I actually really like what they did with these credits. It gives it a kind of steampunk feel. And this Doctor is definitely the perfect amalgum of science, magic, and steam.

6.40 - That's kind of a dick question, even by kid standards, right?

6.59 - I guarantee you a kid like that is not going to be puzzled by a sad face because he can't recognize emotions. ZING!

7.05 - 7.23: Okay, I had to go back to the beginning of this scene to confirm that beardy was Clara's colleague, and not her boss. I mean, it's kind of a skeezy comment anyway, but it would be totally weird if he was trying to set Clara up with someone like he's her dad.

7.25 - Goddamn, everyone wants a piece of Danny Pink.

7.42 - The first time I watched this, I kept thinking how Clara was being a little bitch about Danny's soldiering. Like, there's no way she would be so sensitive about it if she's seen everything the Doctor went through and shared in it. But this time, it makes more sense. She's seen the trauma it has caused him and doesn't want other kids to suffer the same fate. This season is all about Clara's arc. She's expanding her compassion beyond the Doctor to the others around her. Or, maybe she's just being flirty.

8.11 - Whenever Clara steps in it:

alt text: Tenth Doctor telling Donna, "no. no no no. don't do that."

8.23: Was that supposed to be a meet cute or a meet antagonistic. Because it looked more like a meet awkward.

8.51: Girl is thirsty AF.
9.16:...really, really thirsty.
9.36: She is treating Danny Pink like the TARDIS does the Doctor. Relentlessly trying to lead the pretty boy to his perfect arrangement.
