Would like to start by saying Murray Gold is and always has been on top form especially for this series, and I cannot wait to buy the soundtrack. Only draw back is the new theme, I hate it but its growing on me ever so slightly!
Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Now lets begin!
This episode was definitely a step up from the Eleventh hour but still had the same flaws: CGI The massive Eye Ship was very silly and didn't really need to be shown or if it did maybe a different design would have helped it out a lot. The "sky whale" was the cgi flaw in this episode, again it didn't really need to be shown at the end, the diagram of it was fine, but to actually show it was a bit of a sore move.
The episode itself wasn't that bad, people go into the details about the technicality of the episode "how can Amy breathe outside the Tardis" or "how can they be in he whales mouth and still be breathing" in all fairness yes that wouldn't happen, but its sci fi. You don't get Police boxes flying through time! With Sci Fi you can practically do anything you god damn want! The Smilers although scary weren't actually needed at all really, kind of a pointless "villian" if you would. But the thing I love about Doctor Who the most is the sequence accompanied with the music and make me sit up the little bit more and get me ever more engrossed in sci fi television. The scene I talk about is in the mouth when a river of vomit is coming towards them and the "lacking in dignity" line was awesome shame it was like down by "jeronimo!" which is clearly trying to be the same as "Allonsy!" and it never will!
I've digressed a lot really, but the points are this: - brilliant music - some good scenes and excellent one off characters - the depicted "villians" where not really good or needed - reminder about the crack in time which is the obvious focal point of the series and doesn't rely on ood songs to help it along
Love Doctor Who, Loved this episode......BRING ON THE DALEKS!!
