This is what we call a bottle show. It is very limited in terms of sets and places that you go. In this case we find ourselves on a submarine about to do a 20,000 leagues dive and we all know how well that goes.<\/p>\n
Overall I enjoyed it. I like how they played the alien of the piece (more on that behind the cut). The pacing was pretty good. There were a few silly moments and David Warner can be used for 6 degrees of separation in science fiction and fantasy TV and movies like his successor Mark Sheppard (although you could say the same thing about Mark\u2019s Dad). <\/p>\n
Using the 1980s cold war motif was fun. I can remember that time and what happened shortly after that. I think there are a lot of 20 somethings that this is all old history or stuff they read about in passing.

So we have another version of \u201chow I am speaking fill-in-the-blank language\u201d. Nicely written but I liked the one with Donna better. <\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t stop laughing that the only thing about the future that Bøffìņ wanted to know is if his favorite band was still together. The answer is yes and they had a new album out last year and a tour this year. Duran Duran was also referenced and I can\u2019t get \u201cHungry like the Wolf\u201d out of my head. I find it funny that he had a yellow Sony walkman at his waist. I had one of those back then. Even had the same belt clip.<\/p>\n
The Ice Warriors reappear and they did something different with them. The Doctor admitting that he had never seen one outside of its armor was interesting. I do like that they didn\u2019t show us the creature as a whole but gave us a hint of what they look like.<\/p>\n
This is another could have been any Doctor episodes and I don\u2019t mind that. I could see Troughton, Victoria, and Jamie handling this just fine probably with close to the same solution.<\/p>\n
Anyone else think the Doctor is relying on his sonic screwdriver a little too much?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
