Before you all think I'm not watching Who...

[tencrush]

Obviously, I AM watching Who, and I enjoyed Partners in Crime far more than I was afraid of.

There were a few failed comedy moments, Russell's good at those, but overall it was a nice tight introductory Russell script, as the season openers usually are. I don't really have much to say about it, so I quizzed Beckett instead, who has watched the episode about 6 times now, so I figure he's more of an expert. Beckett Archer Reeds, the sofa critic's random comments follow the picture of the author, relaxing at home.



Beckett on what he liked about the episode: "I liked the all the FATS and the QUIET TALKING" (in reference to the Doctor and Donna's through the window conversation) "... and I like the tunnel and the music," in reference to the opening credits, which have always been Beckett's favourite bit of any episode.

His main worry was "Why did the lady fall into BITS?" and "Did the Doctor put her back together?", and his more general concern was "Where is the Doctor's Martha?", Martha being Beckett's firm favourite. Questions of "What is a foster mother?" were also on his mind, and the most pressing matter seemed to be "Why did Donna throw her keys in the BIN?? That's silly. Keys go in pockets and cars."

Overall Beckett rating of Partners in Crime: "I want one with Martha! Get me one!"


So there you go.

The child has good taste re: Martha. I liked that Ten was emo about Martha but not to the point of making Donna feel worthless.

Using your kid, that is so totally cheating.

And completely adorable. And I agree with all his points 100%.

"Where is the Doctor's Martha?"

Aw. That makes me sad for him.

It frightens me that when I fob him off and say "She was in Torchwood, remember?" he says "No, UNIT!" Know-it-all three-year-old.

Heh. You're saying he's already wise to your Jedi mind tricks??? He's very cute.

He watches Torchwood? Did he see Adrift?

[tencrush]

Yes. But then he's fascinated by anyone doing what he calls sexykissing, and always wants to know if people are going to take their clothes off. He's going through a big genital phase at the moment and he keeps making jokes about his ninkie and inserting rude words into Beatles songs. The culmination of which, a few weeks ago was a song he was singing in the bath with the words "I've got a ninkie for your bumhole," which was a completely random pairing of rude words on his part, but led his father to remark that he not only watches Torchwood, but seems to write for Torchwood now as well. Oh, how we laughed.

Oh how I laughed. That's just adorable. He really could write for the show :D

Between this and his love for Rocky Horror Picture Show, you may not be far off. That's hysterical.

Oh boy, you just gave me the best laugh I've had all day. All week even. :P

I love that your kid watches Torchwood. If I was to ever have kids, I'd totally follow your methods of parenting. :D

Oh, that's riot -- he's quite funny!
