Not a huge fan of this episode. It wasn't terrible or anything, just somewhat meh. Also, I really need a Clara icon, because of her face.
- I suppose there is at least a reason for the lack of women in this story, which is better than there being no women for no reason. Still not a fan though. Also, having got to the end, did it really need to be set in 1983? Aside from a few fairly surface cold war (oh ho I see what you did there)/mutually assured destruction references, Gatiss didn't really do anything with the setting that couldn't have been done with a future setting, which would have allowed for it to have some women in and also some people who aren't white, that would've been good too.
- TURN THE MUSIC DOWN. *sticks the subtitles on* (It was ok after that, to be fair.)
- "I'm always serious. With days off." ♥
- WHY ISN'T THE ICE WARRIOR HISSING WHEN HE TALKS THIS IS NOT OK.
- Jenna-Louise Coleman looks adorable in those headphones.
- ...oh good Lord, the Ice Warrior has manpain. (Couldn't the Ice Warrior have been female?)
- How is the Professor's walkman still working after getting dunked in water?
- This submarine doesn't feel particularly claustrophobic. Surely that is the point of setting things on submarines?
- On the plus side, it's not dragging or anything. Half an hour through already!
- Excellent sliding there by Mr Smith.
- Inevitably the Ice Warrior is pretty disappointing looking outside the suit.
- "My world is dead, but now there will be a second red planet. RED WITH THE BLOOD OF HUMANITY." AHAHAHA oh dear.
- The HADS! I thought it was probably the HADS. Maybe a slight copout, but also a TROUGHTON REFERENCE and therefore ok.
- Well, that... happened.
I now expect that I will have Janelle Monae's "Cold War" stuck in my head for the foreseeable future.
