Yeah I never saw it as trying to be scary so much as just bizarre. It's why the first fear we see is a gorilla, and why The Doctor seeing the monster for the first time is followed immediately by a chase scene complete with wacky music and a Scooby-Doo hallway. I'd say it was certainly meant to be disconcerting, but not horror.

Doctor Spaceman posted:His age is always going to be a bit bullshitty (because continuity in those days was whatever the writers remembered and cared about) but it goes from something like 450 in the middle of Two to ~750 at the end of Three; someone in there had a decent run. Romana says he's 750-something in The Ribos Operation, and she's presumably basing that on Time Lord records. But that'd mean that 5-10, including the Time War, lived a combined 150 years, so who the gently caress knows?

I remember liking the Eleven phone call just because the idea of Twelve standing there watching Clara's response to things he'd already said was a cool (and very Moffaty) moment.

This episode is great and if you don't like the Doctor, Clara and Robin Hood saving the day by firing a golden arrow into a spaceship then you clearly hate fun  .

I'm guessing you've never seen the early Hartnell serials?

Burkion posted:All of the Godzilla movies This, or alternatively every Ultra series to celebrate Ultraman's 50th anniversary next year. Let's get some Kaiju up in this thread. I mean a selfless alien who defends earth from destruction on a regular basis? Practically the same show.

The Caretaker made me not like Danny. Firstly because he makes the assumption that Clara does whatever the Doctor says despite almost no evidence to suggest so, which we're meant to take seriously even though one of Clara's defining traits up until this point being "calls the Doctor on his poo poo". Secondly you don't just walk into a person's house/spaceship/time machine and start acting like a dick and insulting them .

2house2fly posted:Well, he does see the Doctor telling her to make a deadly robot pursue and try to kill her and her doing it without a second thought. He doesn't need to have seen the many times the Doctor says some variant of "do as you are told" to draw some solid conclusions from that. There's still a jump from "Clara did a thing the Doctor told her to do" to "Clara has lost all ability to reason and will always do everything the Doctor says without hesitation". It felt like a conversation that would have made more sense if he had actually seen more than one example to lead him to that conclusion. Instead it comes off more like he just doesn't like the Doctor (which is fair) and is making up a reason why Clara should travel with him. it's also really disingenuous to Clara to make that assumption.
