and she pwns every bit as much as her awesomely pwning dad did.

SO. MUCH. THIS.

:D

Mind you, how could she NOT with the Brig for her dad?

I still want Liz in there somehow. Say she was Kate's mentor, her inspiration, her babysitter, anything!

Well my headcanon (and that of several others from what I've seen on Tumblr) is that the 'old friend' who taught the Brig that 'science leads' is actually Liz, not the Doctor as he assumed.

Like someone else, I actually gasped aloud in joy when I realized who Kate Stewart actually was. What with Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and now this lovely little piece (yes, I had to turn off my brain a bit near the end, but still), I believe I may have forgiven Chibnall for "42" and "Cybervixen". Maybe.

I wish Chibnall would stick to writing non-SF/F telly - he's written some of my favourite eps of Law & Order: UK so I know he *can* write!

My hubby pointed out some show we watched, of which Chibnall was the main writer, and noted how much we liked it. This was shortly after "42", which I loathed greatly, and I was surprised upon being reminded of Chibnall's ability to write in non-skiffical surroundings. (Can't even remember what the story was, although I think it had Peter Davison in it.)

Yeah, he's definitely better off out of the SF&F genre.

I'm catching up on Classic Who, so that bit of nod to history was fantastic. :D

The plot = meh. The VOs = meh. I'm quite over Amelia Pond, and by proxy Rory. *shrugs*

persiflage_1 September 24 2012, 16:09:49 UTC

Yes!!

I love Rory - I'd happily watch him travelling with Eleven for another year. I've never liked adult!Amy as much as I loved wee!Amelia...

Kate is definitely cool, and I wondered that the Doctor didn't figure out who she was right away!

persiflage_1 September 26 2012, 15:55:28 UTC

Well, I guess he'd no reason to suppose she was the Brig's daughter, since she only introduced herself as Kate.

Jemma Redgrave was fab. I'm hoping to get hold of 'Bramwell' now - a lady doctor in the Victorian era? RIGHT up my street!

I must admit it was one of the most delightful elements of the episode! I thought you would be chuffed :)

persiflage_1 September 29 2012, 14:06:40 UTC

Chuffed doesn't even begin to cover it!
