It was SO BORING???? It was so poorly written, the effects were garbage especially considering how large the budget is for the show, the storyline dragged and made no sense…the whole thing was kind of offensive to me. Like sure, we have some really shitty Doctor Who episodes in the past, and we all just let them happen (I’m looking at you Love and Monsters). But that’s back when a) the show didn’t have very much money and b) IT DIDN’T TAKE ITSELF SO SERIOUSLY. If Moffat and the other show runners are going to insist that this is a serious show, with serious plot lines where main characters die and then I’m supposed to forget about it (Clara) or where huge themes of the show are unravelled in one moment (50th anniversary) - then they need to actually treat it that way. You know, put a BIT of effort into their scripts. But this last episode was not only ineffectual, it was lazy. Let’s talk about why:

There was no legitimate reason for the action of the story - aka, why did they have to go into a dalek? At one point, Clara even asks this question and receives no answer. The soldiers in the base obviously aren’t forcing the Doctor to do anything, since he was able to leave and go pick up Clara. They don’t NEED to do anything with this dalek - there was no indication that they thought helping this one dalek could somehow save the war for them. It was all just like - “I’m curious.” Let’s go into THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE just because the doctor is INTERESTED IN THIS TURN OF EVENTS. There is no acute tension there AT ALL

Which made all of the deaths in the episode shallow and useless. It made me actually pretty sick to watch all these characters die in a way that is supposed to be poignant - “name something after me” - but in what way was that earned??? They didn’t have to die. None of this episode had to happen. There was no urgency in this at all

The green screen doctor speech where he has the “”“realization”“” that he’s not a good dude - lol ok. Lollllllll ok. Not only was that some of the worst effects I’ve seen on TV since 2002, it was…condescending? Do you really think that I don’t know what the doctor is up to? Unlike the showrunners, I actually remember what happens in the show and I know about the doctor’s internal struggle with good and evil - I don’t need it to be spelled out for me in the most explicit terms possible, while watching green screened daleks in the background

"I wish you hadn’t been a soldier" - did Moffat forget entirely about Martha? Jenny? This show is garbage

Though, he really didn’t mind Ling choosing the place. It was certainly less pressure. And of course, whatever he’d picked, it wasn’t like Greed would care. He was sure tonight would be fun for him regardless; Ling seemed interesting after all, in addition to smelling like something out of Greed’s fantasies.

"Yeah, sure. Lead the way." He said with a grudging smile. "Anyways... if you moved here recently, where are you from? And you mentioned school, right?"

He had to admit, he was curious about Ling. For one thing, he'd never met anyone with anywhere near the scent he had. How did he get it? Was it genetic or acquired or what? And it wasn't just that. Greed wasn't even using his influence anymore, and Ling was just completely casual. Most humans would have started to get nervous again by now, and this kid was teasing him.

"Well then, Ling, if you’re packing up to leave anyways, shall we find somewhere to eat? What’re you in the mood for?”

"Uh.. yeah, of course. Sure." He said, trying for a casual tone as he grabbed his own things. He wracked his brain, trying to remember what other people had said about nearby places as they walked to the door. There was one place a couple blocks over that had all those great reviews, wasn't there? But that was super fancy, expensive. Sure, Greed had the money to pay for both of them but... maybe that was a bit much for casual lunch? Was it? Shit, he had no clue.

He was probably starting to look a little strange by this point, standing there and making no move whatsoever to actually do what people came to gyms to do, but he didn’t really care. He had other priorities anyways.

He had to at least pretend he was working out, though, so he made his way to the locker room to change. He was heading to his usual locker when he stopped dead in his tracks, the scent of the room hitting him. It always smelled like human in an enclosed space, of course, the scent of sweat and blood mingling together. But today there was something else mixed in there as well. Something… sweet. It had to be the scent of one of the humans in here.  Who the hell was that coming from?

Whoever it was, they smelled ridiculously tempting.

Greed glanced around, trying to follow it to the source. It took him a minute of walking down isles of lockers, getting more impatient and frustrated by that scent by the second, until finally he jogged around a corner to the last row of lockers and nearly ran into a human. The human he was looking for, judging by his scent. Damn, it had to be some kind of illegal for someone’s blood to smell that good.

It wasn’t unusual to find the young man in the gym during his free time, hell some might say it would be more unusual not to find him there during his free time. He was dedicated to stay fit, in fact he was dedicated to a myriad of things that many would find strange. Of course that’s just one of the many things that came along with being a foreigner in America.

So today was no different, he’d just finished his workout and was at his locker changing back into his normal clothes. He still had plenty of studying to do, finals were coming up and were proving to be a real pain in the ass this semester. He was almost done and he didn’t have time to be goofing off. Not that he did much of that to begin with.

This really was fun. It was so much fun but… well, Ling was still shaky and Greed couldn’t afford to lose control and take any more blood. So reluctantly, he pulled away slightly, breathing heavily. He sat up, dragging ling with him so that he was resting up against him.

Games sounds like a good a distraction as any.

He pulled himself up, making quick work of setting up the system and digging through the game options, trying to clear his head.

He scowled and snatched the book out of Ling’s hands. “Look, so apparently you’ve got the worlds greatest work ethic or something, Mr. A+ Grades, but according to you, you studied until it made you fall unconscious last night, so how about you give it a rest.”
