Episode Summaries under the cut

127: The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood - Season 5, Episodes 8 & 9: The Doctor, Amy, and Rory arrive in the year 2020, 10 years in Amy and Rory's future. They see their future selves standing on a hill waving at them. They learn that recently bodies have been going missing from graves, and that a nearby mining project has been experiencing some anomalies. A hole appears in the floor and Amy is sucked into the ground. From the mining readings, the Doctor sees that there is something deep underground that has had it's defense mechanisms set off, and that something is coming up. They capture one of the creatures, which the Doctor reveals to be a Silurian, an intelligent reptilian race that inhabited the Earth long before humans. The Silurian reveals that her race has been hibernating under the Earth for millenia, but that the drilling brought the warriors out of suspended animation. The Doctor takes one of the scientists down the Silurian city to find Amy and the other taken humans.

The Doctor negotiates for the return of the human hostages in exchange for their Silurian one. Unknown to them, on the surface one of the humans kills the Silurian for poisoning her father. Amy and the human scientist begin negotiations with the Silurians for potential places they could occupy on Earth, like deserts, while the Silurians provide them with advanced technology. Negotiations break down after they discover that the Silurian hostage has been killed. The Silurian warriors attack, but a Silurian scientist, seeing that peace with humans is possible, but maybe not at this moment, releases a gas to force Silurians back into hibernation for another 1,000 years.

Getting ready to flee in the TARDIS, a crack in time appears in the wall opposite it, and one of the Silurian warriors shoots Rory. As he lays dying, time energy from the crack begins pulling him in, and the Doctor drags Amy back into the TARDIS. He tries to help her focus on remembering Rory, as the crack will erase him from existence, changing her memories, but the TARDIS being disturbed by the drill causes her to lose focus and forget Rory. They return to the surface and Amy waves goodbye to her future self, who now stands alone.

130: Sleep No More - Season 9, Episode 9: The episode is shot in a found footage style, as a rescue crew investigates the disappearance of the crew of a space station. They discover the Doctor and Clara aboard the station s well, wondering why it is empty. They are attacked by two creatures who seem to be made up of dust. They discover a machine that gives you a full night of sleep in just a few moments, an invention to allow workers to continue working without long breaks to rest. They discover another human trapped in one of the other pods, the one who's been narrating the found footage. He reveals himself as the inventor of the pods. The Doctor realizes that the creatures they fought are made up of eye mucus that normally builds up when people sleep, but the machines allowed them to evolve into sentience. The Doctor also discovers footage from the crews perspective, but is informed that they don't have any cameras on their helmets. Seeing footage from even Clara's perspective, he determines that using the sleep pods allows the dust monsters to see from their eyes, which they've been using the track them. They discover that the inventor has been creating the creatures on purpose and led the rescue team here to spread the infection back to the rest of humanity. The Doctor sets the station to self destruct, and he and Clara escape in the TARDIS, while the dust monsters, impersonating the inventor, send a message to humanity.

They call me hopeless, heartless, there's no way out of this When it's so far outta your hand I confess there's a hole in my chest From the things that I did And the gun in my hand I won't rest till it's all done and said And I get what I give I'm a pain dealer, I'm a faith healer

11amy post-Cold-Blood AU fic!

What would happen if, thanks to the cracks in time, Amy remembered Rory post-Cold-Blood and the Doctor forgot?

Spoiler: she doesn't tell him shit.

(Listen, at this rate, I'm kind of temporarily obsessed with the 11amy dynamic and having fun poking at the cracks in canon and dropping short AUs on random episodes all with Amy getting to make the most dubious-verging-on-unethical decisions. We stan a Doctorification.)

i don't know if i'm at all comfortable with the lizardperson-ification of indigenous people as a concept (but afaik this is a reintroduced creature from the 70s, so...) however in any case the politics here are on quite shaky ground (pun very much intended). fun little two parter if you don't try to deep it (because you realise there's not much footing other than typical 'let's all get along'liberalism to go by) anyway the silurians are. attractive! i would return the earth to them any day. land back

oh and it's written by... ah i've heard that name before i'll hear it again. of what i've seen so far all of his episodes have been consistently mid in my books. not a good look for a future showrunner

Has anyone seen Cold Blood?

Not In Cold Blood, the adaptation of the iconic Truman Capote true crime classic. Cold Blood (2005-08), the decidedly uneven and odd television show co-starring Jemma Redgrave and John Hannah, with Pauline Quirke and Ace Bhatti in further key roles.

I ask because I have watched the whole thing while doing assorted tasks this week, and I have Thoughts. The pacing feels frequently rushed, and I found it frustrating because the show’s most interesting material -- in the characters and relationships -- is often rushed through in favor of formulaic casework. There’s a lot of misogyny in the show, up to and including violence against and endangerment of women. And -- crucially -- I didn’t feel it was well-developed enough to make the interesting points it was sometimes trying to do. There are numerous things that are gestured towards but not followed up on. Had the same premise been tackled a decade later, I can’t help feeling, it might have become something better. It feels like the kind of show that would be ripe for fanfic, you might say. Well, I have discovered that there are 6 fics on AO3, 5 of which are femslash and the 6th of which is a Doctor Who crossover. Tiny fandom, I respect you so much and I share your opinions about Jemma Redgrave’s cheekbones.

Anyway. I am now full of thoughts and feelings about John Hannah, who (key part of premise revealed in first episode) becomes an independent consulting detective precisely because he once committed a violent murder. Now he carves carousel horses and yearns haggardly in the direction of Jemma Redgrave, competent divorcée DI. Ace Bhatti is a kind and observant DCI who is trying to start a family via IVF with his beloved wife, and everyone’s boss is Pauline Quirke, who tolerates precisely zero nonsense. They are, in my opinion, a very good team of detective friends trapped in a less than good show. And now I’m stuck with no one to talk to about them. Come through, internet!
