There was a lot in "Lux" to like...

I like the energy of the show. Seems to be back on track now! :)

The middle bit with the "Doctor Who" fans watching the episode
will probably upset some of the more serious types in fandom who
generally don't like how they are portrayed. For me the scene
would have been really cool if it had been three of our RADW
regulars viewing the episode instead though. Imagine if it had
been Daniel70, Dave and Aggy sitting around talking about their
favourite show instead? Okay, an in-joke that only ten people
would have got might be too much to expect, but I think it would
have been fun! Aggy could have coughed "sexual grooming" into
his cup of tea,  Dave - in his Tom Baker scarf - could have said
"Retcon the Timeless Child", whilst Daniel70 could have looked
puzzled and asked "is Blink the episode with the trains in the
sky?" - You missed a trick there RTD!  :-)

Rotfl.

I was thinking, why Blink? I don't like Blink. Why do they all three 
have to say Blink? My favorite bit in Doctor Who is where he drags the 
Earth back home with the TARDIS.

And why does the Doctor only point at things this Doctor has done?

And how does he know what "Blink" refers to?

The Mrs Flood cameo was basically there to tell us that she can
also travel in time, as here she was stalking the Doctor in the
1950's. So maybe that's a clue that Mrs Flood is a Time Lord?

Or she doesn't age.

My imagined money now is on she's another one of those you call Chaos 
gods. Any facts I forgot that go against it? (Apart from dropping her 
bags at seeing the TARDIS travel, while not minding the stationary 
Police Box. (I forgot whether it was arriving or leaving.))

Overall the episode, despite being a bit on the weird side, was
actually quite fun.

Weird is not a bad thing. :P

However, for me "Lux" was an enjoyable episode to watch
and it is a good step-up from last week's episode. Good but not
great. I'll give it a 7/10.

I like last week's episode too. So maybe 8.2/10 if I have to give this 
one a little more. But I think both are fun. :)
