Bumping because Series 8 has officially begun!
Hilarious interactions, lesbian lizards, creepy ass villains! A damn good episode if I do say so.
I loved every single interaction between Clara and the victorian group, the dialogue in this episode was amazing, and it was awesome to just have some downtime to explore these characters more, especially Clara who needs a new angle in her character now that the "Impossible Girl" thing is over. Her being a control freak and throwing tantrums is actually pretty hilarious, and GOD, she is so competent yet so.. human. her crying during her standoff was really interesting.
Vastra too was the highlight of the episode, it was so funny seeing her lusting after Clara "Oh Clara, do come in, you can leave your clothes over there" and Jenny scolding her for it.
Also that posing scene haha.
I was going to post a GIF of it, but I think Jenny would be breaking the obscenity rules
The villains were pretty creepy and I loved the callback to their first appearance (David Tennants era, the one with the clockwork people stalking that girl all her life)
I was so caught up in the interactions between Clara and the others that all the scenes featuring the Doctor felt lame in comparison, until the end that is, where the Doctor really caught my attention, I'm loving the new one already.
