Yay! Let's "Kill The Moon"! [Doctor Who SPOILERS]


Three words.

Waters of Mars. Only less scary.

And what was it with Courtney? Giant spider viruses. A man dying in front of her- SHE almost died, and they're trapped on a "dying" moon! And her response? "I'm bored". I mean what? And what was with her apparent trauma after her -brief- first trip with the Doctor? He took the kid up to see a nice space view. A magical, life-changing experience for sure, but either the kid is more sensitive than she looks or (more likely) Clara's being a bit of a tit about it all.

I'm going with the second option. After all, at one point she proudly tells the Doctor she has a "duty of care" towards her students. 

REALLY?! And yet this duty obviously allows you to take her out of school during the day onto an alien spaceship, time travel and put her in great peril, and then force her to be a part of a decision which could literally mean the end of the world? 

I can't help but find Clara more annoying as the series goes on. She's rarely clever, just bull-headed, which wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't seen it before ( and in my opinion handled much better!).

Oh and the newborn space-critter laying a new egg as it hatches. Convenient. But was I the only one who was reminded of the TV miniseries of Terry Pratchett's "The Colour of Magic"?

There are things that I enjoy about this series. But I'm having a harder time talking about them as time passes. Could it be I'm suffering Who fatigue?

Scary thought.
