Yeah, we watched it last week because my husband was impatient and didn't want to wait until this week, but now I'm gonna watch it again for the watchalong. 0 -
I loved the random, awkward ingeniousness of this episode. Particularly the T.A.R.D.I.S. self destruct button.

Favorite quotes were: "Danny Boy to Doctor" and the "Come along Pond" so down played you'd nearly miss it.
Once again a stand out episode for Amy's character building, and also important in pointing out that there are details of the world that should be there but aren't, as she could not remember the daleks from present day.0 -
I love that it takes Bracewell so freaking long to figure out that the Doctors just letting him go & that Amy totally calls out Winston Churchill on stealing the TARDIS key :laugh:0

The Daleks have always made by brain hurt, but one asking if you would like some tea? I just didn't know what to do with that. I have never felt so threatened by tea time in my life! :laugh: Still this episode makes me want to run around work hollering "I am your Lab Tech, give me your ORDERS!": Sadly, no Whovians at work to appreciate it.0

This reminded me of the Dalek Relaxation Tape. If you haven't heard it, definitely check it out.
