Before I get started I want to tell you all that the first time I watched Doctor Who was last Christmas with The Snowmen so I don't know all the past references to the classic series.
The Crimson Horror, despite the title, was funny. I laughed when Vastra's client kept fainting at all the weirdness.
It seemed weird to see a companion dress up in period clothing since its not done often. Anyway it made a great setup for the ending with the Victorian Clara picture. Makes you wonder if the Doctor wanted to take Clara to London 1893 was to cover his tracks with that or not.
Jenny is one awesome woman using martial art type moves to take out Gillyflower's henchmen while trying to cure Clara of the paralysis. The whole dynamic with Vastra and Jenny really shows why they should have a spin-off show.
Was anyone else surprised to see that Ana's prisoner was the Doctor himself? I know I didn't expect to see him at all at that moment.
When Mr. Sweet was revealed I had a look of disgust on my face seeing it on Gillyflower. Hated that woman for being the reason that her daughter was blind in the first place. What kind of parent does that?
Loved the sepia flashback showing how the Doctor and Clara got involved in the whole business.
The photos the kids found, when the heck were those taken? The Cold War picture I guess could've been taken while going to the South Pole if it wasn't for the fact that they look like they were all wet and were dry by the end of the episode. The Hide picture looks like it was taken during the investigation itself so it makes you wonder.
Also can't wait to see what happens with the kids next week.
Clever having Strax getting directions from a boy named Thomas Thomas. Tomtom anyone?
Unlike Mr. Gatiss's last episode, this felt right for the allotted time and not so rushed. Can't wait to see Nightmare in Silver by Neil Gaiman since I loved his previous episode and it'll be my first real Cybermen episode of the new series since the only one I've seen was the Cybermen in a clothes store.
