So, people are complaining about a lesbian kiss in Dr Who.
Now, having watched New Who, can I point out there is NO lesbian kiss in it.
There's beastiality (or inter-species) kisses.
Yes, they're both female, but one's a lizard (hands up those who spotted the crass Lizard Tongue 'joke'). Surely that's worse than lesbianism?
Mind you, if Bella Swan can shag a corpse and snog a dog and still be popular, I don't see why it's such a big deal!
That said, my problem with the episode is that in every scene with them, they HAVE to mention they're Wife & Wife. Not a scene goes by without them having to stress that one is the other's wife.
Once is fine, to establish they're married. But does it REALLY need to be hammered home EVERY time they come on screen?
And as for the comedy potato butler... oh dear. A Sontaran as a Butler that has only the one joke nicked from Blackadder's Christmas Carol. Except instead of giving away secrets (Damn, Damn, Damn, I'm so stupid!), the Potato keeping making comedy remarks about going into battle.
Still, at least Capaldi is a decent Doctor at last. Hopefully he's going to be the darkest yet.
