Doctor Who — Series 10: Episode 2 — Smile

23rd April, 2017.

It has to be said … I am felling tired … !

But there you go. 

That’s what getting up at six in the morning does for … you … 

*Yaaaawn*

I work, on weekends: as I’m sure you’ve realised.

I usually finish at ten, on Saturday night, and start at eleven, on a Sunday.

And, given I work in Chelmsford?

Means I spend more time awake than, on Saturday night, than I do asleep.

And get to value the few nights I get to go to bed, early.

Equally, usually?

That’s Thursday and Sundays.

Except, of course?

Sundays, at the moment … ?

Well, as I’m working, on a Saturday, when the show I’ve been following for a lifetime is on?

Means watching Doctor Who … 

Tonight’s episode?

Smile … !

~≈Ê≈~
Smile sees the Doctor asking Bill where to go: to either past or future.

WITHOUT telling Nardole, who’s concerned the Doctor should stay on Earth.

That little challenge?

Sees the pair landing on an off-world colony: at some point in the distant future … with swarms of nanobots floating around.

And with larger units … that come with cute smiley faces.

It’s once the Bill and the Doctor get to one of the colony’s garden they start to wonder exactly where any humans have gone … 

And wondering exactly what that mineral compost is … … 

~≈Ê≈~

Now … 

Enjoyable … ?

Lord, yes!

Although, given how tired I feel?

I’m not going to give you an in-depth critical analyse of the episode!

I will say this … 

Smile is another good episode.   And, although it doesn’t put Bill front and centre — as The Pilot — does … ?

It does develop the relationship between the two.

AND emphasise the importance of the Vault that Nardole and the Doctor are investigating.

Personally?

I think it’s safe To say that vault’s this year’s story arc.

And I’d like to know what’s behind those doors.

Green or otherwise.


Now … 

About that elephant …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
