"Please do not throw hands at me."

[usuallyhats]

1.) Happy birthday, eponymous_rose!

2.) I have just finished (re)watching The Robots of Death, which I liked rather a lot: some as-I-went-along observations under the cut:

• I like the way the robots move past one another without seeming to notice each other.



• Y HALO THAR, NEW!TRAVIS. I automatically suspect him because he is Travis.



• Aw at Leela bouncing on the seats! And the pleased look on her face when she says: "Because they have no feelings?"



• ♥ Leela spinning round in her chair! I love her.



• "Just... try and hold her steady." / "Oh, thanks, I'd never have thought of that." Hee! The story does a great job overall on selling me on the crew: they really feel like a group who've known each other and been working together for a while.



• Great cliffhanger to part two! There's a real sense of imminent disaster.



• Sparkly future bandages! WANT. Pos. not v. practical however.



• Aw, Leela is so proud of her bandaging skills! I love how open she is with her emotions.



• The robot with its head smashed in is a rather disturbing sight.



• The "pyoingggg" sound effect when Leela's knife hits V6 is a little more comedy than it really should be.



• "Do not kill me." So polite and yet so creepy.



• "Please do not throw hands at me." :DDDDDDD D84 sounds so ...disappointed by this turn of events.



• BRB, shipping Leela/Toos.



• Oh, D84. His singsong "I will" when the Doctor tells him to be careful is very childlike.



• "You look ridiculous in that outfit. Not half the robot your father was." I have a feeling the Doctor is misquoting something else here but have no idea what, and google is unhelpful. Any ideas? Of course I have seen this episode before so I might just be thinking of last time I saw it.
