I didn't know before I read your review that it was Smith's first full story. He seems more thoroughly committed here than in any of the previous adventures. I really think this is both he and Alex Kingston at the top of their games, which is kind of sad in a way because you don't want to peak during your first filmed story, but he nearly does. There are a couple of times where I think he's even better, but I also think that by series Seven he's just a caricature of what he is here, all affectation and no sincerity.David Pirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636601389899125100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-45327119217388571082016-01-05T08:16:41.388-08:002016-01-05T08:16:41.388-08:00For Ed Azad: Do not assume that the true purpose o...For Ed Azad: Do not assume that the true purpose of the companions are the surrogates audience?

And yes, I prefer JNT's "no hanky panky" politic.. Whats wrong with having an alien explore time and space with friends only? That makes Doctor Who unique, you have sex and romance everywhere else Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-90684585138824523702016-01-03T14:26:21.991-08:002016-01-03T14:26:21.991-08:00I remember this episode, and while most agreed Amy...I remember this episode, and while most agreed Amy's behavior was beyond the pale, the most frequent comment I ran into online was, "well, it's wish fulfillment for the fans". That clicked right away. I've never forgotten how Amy (and later Clara) were audience surrogates for the drooling fan girls and what a brilliant marketing strategy that was. Unlike, say, Dana Scully, you have a half-sketched character who can be anything you want to be. Of course, this being Moffat, even that wicked plan got away from him... somehow I doubt every girls watching Wholock dreams of becoming a dominatrix (surely there must be some subs?), but that's the extent of Moff's understanding of female sexuality.<br /><br />alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287658017103606748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-39417722378084519092016-01-03T10:24:20.362-08:002016-01-03T10:24:20.362-08:00I don't mind the occasional companion falling ...I don't mind the occasional companion falling for the Doctor but this was getting ridiculous (that final scene, bleurgh)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
