And now, a Banksy, Just because. |
Moffat-Era
Tropes: Hostile alien creatures hiding in plain sight as everyday
objects; Doctor-lite episode; aliens targeting specific people;
cryptic utterances which turn out to be threats; something strange
and possibly fatal happening to the Tardis; stalking zombie-type
creatures; the Doctor as scourge of monsters; the Doctor coming up
with insulting nickname for his companion's male friend; the Tardis'
siege mode looks a lot like a miniature Pandorica.
A
Thing in a Thing: An alien species, and their victims, in the
walls.
The
Doctor is A: man who stops the monsters.
The
Master Is A: fan of Apple products.
Clara
Lies About: She doesn't technically
lie to Danny about what she's up to when he calls, but the
ideological distinction is pretty thin. The Doctor finally confronts
her for having lied to him about Danny last episode.
Reasons
Clara Should Drop Danny Like A Hot Potato: Because she describes
him as “territorial”, and because a lie this big never does any
relationship any good.
Child
Count: None (if Rigsy's working a community service order during
normal business hours, he must be too old for school).
The
Thick of It: The Doctor really gets into his alien-destroying bit
at the climax.
It's
Actually About: Intentions. It's not what you do, it's what you
mean by it.
