The Last of His Kind - (A Clever SF Reference If Ever I Made One)
Excellent episode of Doctor Who last night!
Return of the Daleks, only not plural, one poor lost little Dalek named Dalek, the last of his kind after the Time Wars, just like the Doctor, held prisoner by a crazy-rich collector of alien artifacts, the owner of the Internet in 2012. Really.
Lots of cute little visual references, both internal and external, lines the kind of funny that context rescues from SciFi banal, great throwaway lines, nice Doctory complications, suffering, revenge, redemption, grace, transcendence, all that hooey stuff.
New companion for the Doctor and Rose, a computer genius, Tod from Coronation Street.
So much better than Enterprise, RIP. Not.
And stairs, there were stairs! ROFLMAOing my ass off!
