Dinosaurs on a Spaceship Squee Post

[blue_aeon]

Here's your squee post for Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Like Snakes on a Plane, but with considerably less f-bombing (not counting the ones from the audience).

It's on at , on at 7.35 tonight UK time. Squee, complain or dive behind the sofa. Okay, maybe not the last one; unless we get a Tomb Raider-esque moment involving a T-Rex or there's a field of long grass hiding a load of raptors, the odds of this one being frightening are a bit slim.

Incidentally, this isn't the first time the BBC have put dinosaurs in space: Red Dwarf taught us what happens when a T-Rex eats a vindaloo (among other things) way back in 1999. Um, yeah.

That episode was mad, and surprisingly serious at moments (Tricy, no! Man, Soloman's an asshole), but it was great fun! Also, the Doctor snogging Rory. Didn't see that coming (and neither did Rory).. Loved Brian too, although I kept expecting him to say "this week, I shall be mostly be..." half the time.

Regarding Nefertiti, my brother - knowledgeable in all things Egyptian - remarked that she disappears from hieroglyphs at around the date given at the start of the episode, so props for that little nod. He did not, however, remark on the state of her marriage to Amenhotep IV (although he was known as Akhenaten by this point). Interestingly, the date given at the start, 1334 BC, is the year Akhenaten died. Suddenly that sleeping potion remark has a whole different tone.

PS: the "just my balls" line caused us all to nearly choke. Subtlety? What's that?
