...
'Arachnids in the UK'... haha!... what a great title for the episode... it's title reminds me of the early series in the 60' and 70's... so
'Mr Big' is in the episode this week as a main player eh?... I've never watched that
'Sex and the City' show so I have no idea as to how good or bad an actor that he actually is so here goes I guess?... he says to 'Frankie' his bullied assistant
"we're family right?... you're my... what are you again?............"... and she replies
"I'm your Niece's wife!" and he says
"exactly!"... (this guy needs a good kicking already methinks!)... lol!...
...ha!... 10 seconds into the episode and he's already an arsehole with sacking someone called 'Najia'? straight away lol!... aw man!... I've been a tad bit disappointed that we haven't seen much of a Time Vortex within the rather short opening credits before now but what about that sequence of multiple Time Vortex's just then?... woohoo!... what a brilliant rendering of them... I love it!... well done Chib's!...
...I remember that when I created this GIF below that I thought along similar lines of how The Tardis would be going through Multiverse Time Vortex's but never had the program to create such special effects so I settled for this instead... lol!... this is why I'm loving Chib's version of it so much... I actually created that GIF to use as my Avatar on here but the file was too large to work on this website so tough luck for me I guess?... lol!...
...bwahahaha!... that was hilarious when The Doctor jumped at Yasmin's offer at having Tea at her place lol!... their reactions to have only been away for half an hour since they first left in the first episode was realistic to me... that's probably how I would have reacted I imagine?... when Graham decided to go home before accepting Yas' invitation and then when Ryan walked up to him to see if he was alright was good to see..
...I love Yas' family!... especially her dad!... what a character... him and Graham should get on alright because they both say it as it is lol!... her dad sort of reminds me of Wilfred a little for some reason or another... bwahaha!... what a great scene with Yas' sister hitting on Ryan... funny as lol!... so Najia is Yas' mum eh?... great interlocking of characters in the plotline methinks!...
...I really felt for Graham when he went home and imagined seeing Grace talking to him... that would be part of a natural grieving period for some people I imagine?... (I think that there will be an eventual story arc with Grace coming back to Graham permanently somehow within the future whether it's sooner or a lot later but it will happen I bet)... those Spiders are such great special effects for the show aren't they?... kudo's to the animators for that... great quality work indeed... so Spiders hate the smell of Garlic eh?... I'll have to remember that methinks!... wow!... that was one mean Spiderweb cocoon wasn't it?...
...I'm so gravitating towards Graham being my favourite companion so far with Jodie's Doctor... I like him more now that he's stopped saying that creepy 'call me Grandad' stuff from before... Yas' mum is quite hot isn't she?... there are an estimated
21 QUADRILLION Spiders on this Planet she said?...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!... haha!... The Doctor name drops Emelia Earhart's name lol!...
EDIT:... when I watched 'Whovians' straight after writing this they pointed out Ryan's shadow puppet escapade that was going on in the background... as they said... was it intentional or was he just messing around without realising that it was an actual take?... lol!... yes... I missed it the first time around I have to admit lol!...
...'Mr Big' has a
scheduled 'bathroom break'?... talk about being anal or what?...
**ta-boom tish!**... I like the way that he every so subtly allowed his bodyguard Kevin to become Spider food in his place in the bathroom... I sure hope that he dies in this now... what a lowlife!... um... Doctor... that's a tad bit silly putting your head down into the Spider pit like that don't you think?... lol!... I find it to be a tad bit funny that when they run away from a ginormous Spider that just broke through the floor and smashed up a bath that they think that just closing a door behind them will stop it chasing them lol!... the 'Ed Sheerhan' references were quite funny too... that girl from the Lab reminds of 'Oswin' from earlier shows for some reason too... all that is missing is the long scarf and an inhaler in her hand lol!...
...'Najia' asking Yas whether she and The Doctor are 'seeing each other'?... bwahaha!... Yas' look on her face was pure Gold lol!... why was it important that 'Mr Big' was possibly running for the Presidency in the storyline?... it sounds to me that at this point that it may be a future story arc for him to return in later episodes perhaps?... we'll see I guess?... with them all stumbling onto the batch of cocoons it sort of reminded me of the movie
'Alien' in many ways...
..."Najia's line of
"do you know just how annoying for me it is when my husband is right"?... made me laugh out loud... funny as!... (and true for many women I guess?)... lol!... fuggin' hell 'Mr Big' is really giving me the irrits now... he better die in this or................... grrrrr!... Ryan talking about his dad because of that letter has made him even closer to Graham now so the story arc between them is working out fine now which is good to see...
...do all Americans have 'Panic Rooms' in their homes?... lol!... oh dear... what's the bet that 'Mr Big' shoots the Spiders despite of The Doctor's objections for him doing so eh?... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!... the Spiders are going to the Panic Room and 'Mr Big' is starting to overact his character to me now... ham it up mate... ham it up old son... so for what reason did he have to shoot the Spider regardless of the fact that it was dying anyway?... a tad bit silly methinks!... yet another appearance of Grace... (she will come back into the show for sure methinks!)... bugger!... 'Mr Big' lives to see another day... what a bummer!...he'll be back for future shows that's for sure eh?...
...with the way that Yas looked at her family before she popped down to the shops for bread I just
KNEW that she was going back to The Doctor and to travel around in The Tardis lol!... Ryan and Graham too... erm...
'Team Tardis'?... really?... I sure hope that that name doesn't stick... it sounds too 'American' to me lol!... Rove really needs to not be so annoying during the closing credits... otherwise he may lose fans methinks!...
...well... my overall impression of this episode is that it's a good old Whovian romp episode which is a lot more fun that last weeks heavy Historical drama (which I did really enjoy by the way) so yes... I really enjoyed it this week... I love Jodie (which I obviously didn't think last year when it was announced that The Doctor would be a female... I'm still eating humble pie with that one lol!)... I'm loving the companions but as I said... Graham is my favourite up until now... great show this week... cheers.
