#same goes for Milka Trnina

Just watched that DW episode with Nikola Tesla and honestly I wasn't disappointed. My mind is having so many thoughts right now and I'm not sure I can write them all down but I'll do my best

First of all: loved the story. The idea of aliens wanting to kidnap Tesla is so funny to me and I found it quite charming the way they depicted it. I'm no professional writer as of now so I won't go into that. I did, however, find it very sweet how the Doctor and Tesla had that short moment of bonding over being inventors/scientists... It was just sweet.

Second: performance. Absolutely loved the way Tesla was portrayed. There are some really small things in his speech that do nudge the idea he's not a native English speaker and I think it was shown amazingly. I'm a native Croatian speaker so I was able to catch a few extra things, but I do think they could've given him a bit more of an accent. Then again, that's just my personal preference. Plus, that beef with Edison seemed pretty realistic to me. Another thing I'd like to mention is someone's brief remark on the fact that Tesla loved opera! Fun fact: a worldwide famous opera diva Milka Trnina (who was also Croatian!) was said to be the only one to have access to Tesla's personal laboratory! There were also rumours of the two being something more than friends... Who knows. Also I could rant for hours about Milka and Tesla, but I'll leave that for another post.

TL ; DR

Had high expectations for the episode, wasn't disappointed.
