Keeping in stride with two parters this season, Doctor Who starts us off with a relatively boring plot: captured by Vikings after a close shave with nasty space spiders that were thankfully never shown on screen. I can't stand spiders. When Clara starts asking the Doctor about the rules, he explains, "We make ripples but never tidal waves." Her response, "You are a tidal wave," would probably have resulted in an argument if the Vikings hadn't shown up.
Now I don't watch Game of Thrones and could care less about it, but I was secretly really hoping the girl, Ashildr, would replace Clara and become the new companion. I'm so tired of Clara; she's getting reckless and stupid. Instead of hanging back and listening to the Doctor, she gets herself and Ashildr captured by a vicious alien and pretty much dooms the entire village till the Doctor has to step up and save everyone - as usual. The last ten minutes of the episode were pretty exciting as they tied in a Tennent episode - loved that and I really thought the Doctor translating when the baby was saying was adorable.
I'm still unimpressed with the whole two parters episodes though. I told my husband that after this episode the fandom exploded. He didn't think that was funny. :)
