'Tis a good weekend to be a Whovian.
Mar. 31st, 2013 07:43 pmIn case anyone has missed it: The Mind of Evil is now available for pre-order on Amazon. I am both sad, strangely proud and extremely embarrassed that this means I will own every Pertwee serial on DVD come june...
While waiting for a stream of The Bells of St. John to come online last night, I accidentally ended up watching the first two episodes (serials?) of The Sarah Jane Adventures on YouTube, only to discover that the only streams I could find afterwards were from season 4... which was a bit upsetting, as I really liked what I'd seen (everyone is so cute and this pleases me).
I was also very amused to realise that the preview for Eye of the Gorgon struck me as very familiar... Wiki soon revealed to me that SJA actually aired on the Swedish children's channel a couple of years back when I was still in eighth or ninth grade. I must've caught it some day when I was home sick (I was sick a lot in those days) because I clearly remember there being... nuns. Evil nuns. And monasteries and green lawns.
As for when I actually got around to watching the new episode it was way, way too late. Curse you, daylights savings. But I watched it anyway, and actually found it... surprisingly enjoyable?
( The Bells of St. John (spoilers) )
TL;DR it's far, far from perfect... and yet I still rather enjoyed it. Perhaps because there were no major characterisation issues that bothered me? I can't judge Clara yet, and I do like Eleven (I'm just not fond of a lot of the writing of his era). So I'm looking forward to the next episode. And the episode after that, because ICCCE WARRIORSSSS. Even Ice Warriors written by Mark Gatiss...
