New Who 5.9: Cold Blood

I couldn't post this last night, because I just could not get onto LJ at any point after Doctor Who ended. So what follows was actually written in Yahoo! Notepad yesterday evening, and lightly edited this morning in order to get the tenses right.

Gosh, well. I think I can only possibly start writing about this ( with the end first )

So ( where the hell does this go now? )

Anyway, as for the rest of the story, yes, it did ( play out much like Three's encounters with our reptilian cousins )

( The Doctor and Ambrose )

( Nasreen Chaudhry )

So, Chris Chibnall may not be the most highly-regarded of Doctor Who writers, and it may well be that without the shock ending (which must surely have been largely Steven Moffat's work), this would have ended up as another largely predictable and forgettable story. But, as it was, it worked for me. Looking forward to yet more historical action next week.
