Curious lack of Dr. Who Reaction Posts...

...so I may as well start the ball rolling.



I enjoyed it. A lot of unanswered questions, such as why aren't the planes being left behind in the Earth's orbit as time goes on around them, but it sort of worked as an idea. It's pretty obvious that the Doctor is not going to let Davros die in the past, that won't actually help much (unless he wants to see the whole universe eaten by paradox monsters), so I'm guessing that he's going to save the boy, try to improve his life etc., but fail miserably.

As for Missy, she's obviously used the vortex manipulator to rescue herself, Clara, and the TARDIS, but the details should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out, and what (if anything happens to the tank, the sudden introduction of the word "Dude!" etc.


There will probably be more spoilers in comments if any.

I enjoyed it too. My one real complaint is that, as often happens nowadays, the background music made it difficult to hear some of the dialogue.

Glad it wasn't just me.

I didn't think it was as bad as is sometimes the case, but I agree it could be better.

Funny, I listen to music all the time, and I almost never notice the background music in the episodes. The only thing I remember from last night was the guitar feedback. And was the a variant of the Dr Who theme he was playing?

This was my main problem. I couldn't hear a lot of what was going on and a lot of the dialogue. Really fed up with the BBC who never seem to learn from previous mistakes.

As a BBC employee I can tell you that SOMETIMES we learn. I remember a training thang where we were told that complaints about background music were the #1 complaint the BBC received. And how some drama got so many that they actually pulled the transmission tapes and re-dubbed the sound before episode 2 went out.

On the other hand, you normally do your final mix in a dubbing suite with state of the art kit, not on a clapped out household telly. Plus everyone there can recite the narration/dialogue in their sleep but that point. They need to get more age-related hearing loss oldies like me to attend and shout "What?" now and then!
