Vampires! Venice!

[altariel]

Nobody on my flist has posted about "The Vampires of Venice". Are you all out agitating for Nick Clegg to deliver PR? Well I loved it. I thought Matt Smith sparkled and I think Arthur Darvill is smashing.

ETA, while watching Confidential: Matt Smith and Francesco da Mosto are together in a gondola! This is why I pay my licence fee.

Colour me unimpressed. Nothing to do with the actors, who did a great job, and I like Rory a lot, but the writing/plot - ugh.

Terry Pratchett is right - it's deus ex machina every week. What the heck was with the gizmo on the roof thing? It made no sense. The connection between storms and earthquakes? No sense. And if they're not vampires, just alien fish with projectors, how is draining the blood and replacing it with their own supposed to turn people into alien fish?

I don't mind scientific 'magic' as an explanation in DW - that's the norm - but when it's scientific BS with no attempt even made to cover it, I get annoyed. Hey, BBC, your viewers are smarter than that.

Aw, it's a shame that it spoiled your enjoyment of the episode. I thought it was fun, all the performances were a joy to watch, and it all looked very pretty.
