One day, when the world is set to rights...

Well, that was mildly better than I expected; the end, and the final revelation, might even have impressed me if it hadn't been so thoroughly spoilered in ever newsagent in the land. They even addressed the way it conflicted with Dalek morality pretty well. But that aside...pig-slaves? What was wrong with Robomen? Who engineers pig traits in to enhance loyalty as opposed to, say, dog traits? Was it just that we'd already seen the Slitheen make a pig creature so the effects team found that easier? And while I didn't mind the Brits doing American accents (even though Who has already done thirties Manhattan better, with the cast of Spaced no less), the Dalek voices seemed all wrong, and not in a 'weakened' or 'more individual' way, just a 'not really working' way.
I'm not looking forward to the sequel, except vaguely to hope that it will finally kill off the ruddy Daleks, because like the Doctor I am beginning to get annoyed by the cheapening of his sacrifices.

Memo to the Lowlander; while there's at least a certain honesty in the way your logo makes clear that your staff are rubbish, it's not very good advertising. And if you don't do cider, don't tell me that you could do shandy, as though that had any resemblance to what I requested. As it turns out, though, I do like strawberry beer, although I doubt I'd ever want more than one. Thank heavens for Sam Smith's.

If nothing else, it was better than her Russian accent.

Ahahaha! I must have fallen asleep! Why did I think it was American?
I am not qualified to make any further comments on Doctor Who EVER.

Oh - no wait - I see what I did there. I did in no way hear the entire thing, did I?

Apparently not. This development could have excused her American accent, if only the Russian one hadn't been worse.
