HAVE A NECTARINE, GONK
Hello nutmeg, hello inumeenu.
It's going to be a divisive episode for sure.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it a dreadful episode, but it took a long time to settle down into something I could follow.
I'm not so keen on Stephen Moffat's alien races. He seems to introduce a lot of creepy whispering or croaking humanoids, I miss the old style man in a rubber suit type with easy to follow plots and motivations, and a bit of personality.
The last half was excellent however.
I enjoyed Bill saying she didn't vote for the President, "he's orange"
Erica was a nice supporting character and I'm glad she wasn't reduced to green goop.
Bill's consent being the only pure one because love is pure melted my stone cold heart.
I also enjoyed seeing the TARDIS materialise around one of the world leaders.
I do hope Nardole is ok!

...haha!... will Bill ever get laid?... lol!... she really is falling for her new girlfriend isn't she?... I like it when The Doctor is playing his guitar... he plays it so well... oh that's a first... a female midget on the show... hmmmmm?... I wonder what role she will be playing?... a small part maybe?... yeah I know... a piss poor attempt at humour I guess?... moving on... oh gawd!... here we go... and so early in the episode too...
...'Sticky nit-picky' time #1... I wish that The Doctor would hurry up and get his bloody eyesight back already!... it is just plain boring for me now... and for ffs get rid of the Sonic Sunnies while you're at it!... (they never worked Moffatt when you introduced them a couple of years ago mate... just like the big fat gay Daleks)... all of us Whovians rebelled remember?... why are they back again?... have you shoved them back into our faces as a 'last hurrah!' just to validate them to us from 2 years ago or something?... really?... REALLY?...
... nice try Moffatt but you're not fooling anyone mate!... end of nit picking... moving on...
...so The Doctor's song is basically telling us that his end is close eh?... perhaps closer then we think maybe?... I'm so going to hate seeing Capaldi go but am still getting a niggling feeling that he's not for some reason... I think that he'll regenerate back as he is methinks!... (or at least I hope so anyway)...
...so are these soldiers from 'UNIT' or something?... oh no... they're from 'NATO' instead methinks?... the 'United Nations'... are they the same thing?... lol!... so the little lady is some sort of Scientist then I see... it's good to see that they use all types of people in this show and that everyone are not 'perfect' looking characters like what are on shows from the USA always seem to have... so this pyramid has plonked itself basically on the borders of Russia/China and the USA somewhere then?... okay... I'll swallow that and we'll just move on then eh?...
...it must be a Biological or Chemical Lab of something because of the suit that she is wearing methinks!... so the Pyramid 'landed' there then?... as in a 'Spaceship' sort of landing then?... and now The Doctor is walking up to the Pyramid and Nardole keeps talking to The Doctor as if giving him directions?... oh dear... here I go again...
...'Sticky nit-picky' time #2... so we have Nardole blatantly 'guiding' The Doctor through a communications device right beside Bill and she hasn't cottoned on to what Nardole's doing?... bloody hell Moffatt!... do you think that we're morons and will still believe that she wouldn't pick up on it?... sheesh!... that she STILL doesn't realise that he's blind?... yeah riiiiight!... end of nit picking... moving on...
...this episode is so slow paced tonight isn't it?... or is it just me?... it seems to be taking ages for it to gather some pace this time... oh goodie!... the Pyramid is opening up and The Doctor is walking inside!... perhaps some action at last...oh hello!... everyone's phone is stuck on 11:57... 3 minutes to midnight... the 'Doomsday Clock!"... now at last things are getting interesting... haha!... when The Tardis materialises around that Russian soldier he shit razor blades lol!... what a way to kidnap someone lol!...
...at last!... Bill has 'sensed' that there is something wrong with The Doctor... (about bloody time that she did too!)... he shows her his eyes and she STILL has caught on?... WTF?... this is just plain ridiculous now!... so those monk corpse things can fly airplanes can they?...
...haha!... sorry about that image above... I just couldn't help myself I'm afraid lol!... ha!... so it WAS a Submarine sticking out of the ground as I speculated last week!... coooool!... lol!... it's about time that I got something right in the show lol!... ."misdirection... don't look to where the arrow is pointing but to where it's pointing away from!" states The Doctor... good instructions indeed!...
...I was kind of happy that the head of the United Nations got turned to dust... he was giving me the irrits with consenting on behalf of all of us on Earth so quickly... he had it coming the weak willed fool... oh wow!... all the plants in the Lab died at the same time... jeez!... I could use some of that weed killer in my gardens!... lol!... why has the small midget lady got her helmet on but he hasn't?... something's bound to happen to him eh?... lol!... so he just ran that contaminated stuff through 3 sterile rooms lol!... he's not very clever this one eh?... lol!... "give peace a chance?"... hahaha!... what a classic statement!... lol!... "sit down and Google!" says The Doctor lol!...
...so that guy in the Lab without his helmet on just snuffed it eh?... ha!... that wasn't hard to predict was it?...lol!... he had it coming too as far as I'm concerned lol!... oh gawd!... these 3 soldiers are all deciding to surrender on behalf of all of us on Earth as that United Nations leader did?... what a bunch of cowards!... I hope that they get zapped too!... hang on a second... here we go again...
...'Sticky nit-picky' time #3...just how the hell can these 3 soldiers just throw away the freedom of all of us on Earth just like that! without consulting their Presidents and other type leaders at all?... they don't have the power to do that!... that's a bit hard to accept for me at least... that's just not the way that it would work in real life... how silly!... (yes I know... I'm being too pendantic aren't I?)... lol!... end of nit picking... moving on...
...oh hello!... The Doctor is FINALLY going to tell Bill that he's blind?... nope!... change of plan!... (shut up Sticky!)... "Nardole!... with me!...to The Tardis!"... bwahahahaha!... that so reminds me of Adam West and Burt Ward as 'Batman and Robin' from the 60's lol!... "Robin!... to the Batmobile!"... lol!... what a clever way for The Doctor to find out what Lab it was so quickly by turning off all of the cameras!...
...jeez!... The Tardis sounded awful after leaving the Lab didn't it?... (maybe that gets 'regenerated' alongside The Doctor too?)... perhaps even an entirely new interior design coming up for The Tardis in the near future too?... haha!... was The Doctor flirting with that female Lab lady?... lol!... those 3 soldiers got zapped!... brilliant!... (say no more Sticky!)... moving on lol!... oh dear!... The Doctor is about to die because he can't do the door code?... maybe THIS is going to be his 'regeneration' time coming up sooner than expected perhaps?... and he FINALLY tells Bill THAT HE'S BLIND?... why now?... WHY NOW????... man!... Moffatt sure has dragged out The Doctor's 'blindness' for way too long now as far as I'm concerned... jeez... I hope that Nardole is okay... I'd hate it if he leaves too...
..oh no!... Bill is going against The Doctor's orders not to make a deal with the Monkees... she does but doesn't get zapped and The Doctor finally gets his sight back... AT LAST!... thank god for that!... and?... continued next week!... bummer!... lol!... Missy returns next week!... woohoooo!... now to watch Whovians after Masterchef has finished... cheers.
