I quite liked it. But then bits of the dialogue were obscured by baby babbling, so maybe I missed the clunkier bits.

We've already had the 'genius can see other things' thing with Shakespeare, so it didn't feel too strange having it again here.

True. The celeb historicals are starting to get a bit stale, maybe, because there are essential similarities between them all - but I do generally like them anyway!

Yay, the reviews are back!

I won't comment yet as I've yet to see the episode though.

Well, the review is back, anyway! No, I will try and review the last three, anyway.

I was well confused by the announcement over the titles at the end about "if you've been affected by any of the issues in this episode etc". I was wondering why I would be so affected by a giant invisible fierce parrot that I would want to call someone about it. The depression issue didn't come over all that strongly to me.

Heh, I didn't see it - I'd turned it off by then - but somebody else mentioned that too.

I can't give things ratings any more. TV is like politics or sexuality - the deeper you look into it, the more you see you need some kind of three-dimensional hyper-linked Venn-diagram-cum-flow-chart rather than a simple sliding scale. I will rate using a system of florid analogies, instead: this episode was like watching a satellite view of the world on a cloudy day. Everything is perpetually shifting and sometimes all you can see is a carpet of grey, but other times you can see amazing shapes in the clouds, and now and again the skies will clear and the stunning potential of your view is realised. And it's worth all the time you spent staring at grey.

This is awesome. Best 'marks out of ten' ever.

Thank you! Cloud metaphors for the win ;)

Wow, thank you! ~blush~ And of course it's OK to friend, though I've been posting less and less lately...I am going to keep reviewing though.
