11 - Blew Chunks All Over Town (S1, Ep11)
We watch the 11th episode titled "Boom Town" (Series 1, Episode 11) where the Doctor tries to impress Rose by taking her to Cardiff (?!) and save her from certain death in the form of a farting alien. Wait. What? Is this a repeat? No? And Mickey is there giving Rose crap about their relationship. Come on...this has to be a repeat.
Takeaways from this episode:
- Cardiff is a very dangerous place for the French.
- If the Who Crew is like the Scooby Gang, Mickey is a Scooby/Shaggy combo, Captain Jack is Velma, Rose is Danger Prone Daphne and the Doctor is an ascot-less Fred.
- John is convinced that Frank Oz in his prime would happily stick his hand up John's butt.
- The Tardis' hoo-ha has magical powers and regressed Margaret Slitherin back to an egg with dreadlocks.
The final tally: a shot of tequilla, we forget to mention how many beers, several Star Wars references and the umpteenth time Steve asked if <insert name here> is a companion.
Production notes: Steve is concerned about the discrepancy between episode running lengths listed on IMDB and Amazon Prime. He wants the entire made-for-broadcast episode dammit!
