I can't help but wonder how much influence Moffat has over this. The pace of the story is all over the place and things that should feel important aren't getting enough time to breath. Like I should give more of a **** that April's mum can apparently now walk again and the whole thing with the cabinet and Quill and Charlie seems to be focussed on vague details. I only understand all that a bit more because I paused it over the headteacher's file and read it :laugh:
Plus the Shadow Kin could be amazing but it all feels so rushed that they're not getting enough of a chance to really be developed as the terrifying villains I think they're intended to be.
Having said that, I really like the idea of the flesh eating petals; That bit in next weeks where they're eating people on the streets looks horrifying :worry:

Also, April's mum is a godawful actress but the writing for her was clunky as **** tbf

The villains are giving me Return to Oz teas.

Also, is the voice of the villains the voiceover of Aragog from Chamber of Secrets? :think:

I actually really like the shadow Kin but I want to know more about them

You could be right :amazed:

Watched episode 1 earlier

Loved it

Charlie is too precious

The theme tune is growing on me.

The opening is awful but the closing credits one is nice

I think it's trying too hard to have a Buffy-esque opening with the pop music and fast cut graphics.

Damn it! I wanted her parents dead!

They still might :laugh:

The people in the street being eaten next week :omgno:

The killer leaves giving me killer butterflies from Fringe teas

Oh at them not being original

Good episode, didn't realise it was a two parter until the end lol

Charlie's file for those who didnt pause

Loving this so far. Shame they didn't advertise it very well, it is 'YA', but I wasn't expecting so much gore and blood, it's more than what we got from Torchwood :omgno: It's far from the 'inbetween Torchwood and Sarah Jane' they said it would be. It's more Torchwood style

I like the theme tune a little more (despite trying to be a Buffy-style tune too much), Miss Quill I love and I love the gays (although I can see Matteusz dying by the end :worry: )

I get where they're coming from as they've basically got kids (like Sarah Jane) with the gore, more adult and realistic story lines (Torchwood)

I'm not entirely sure any of that even made any sense

Lmao that's what I felt

I want April's family dead.

It's one of those shows with awesome ideas but never gives itself time to cover them properly.
Plus, I really don't understand why they tried to make April's Dad, a man who apparently put her mother in a wheelchair, this funny bumbling character. Very strange

Rachel Branning vs Becky McDonald was something I have needed for years

Katherine Kelly is amazing though. I love Quill.

I'm not entirely sure I trust Charlie either. There seems to be something quite dark about him. I also don't think Mattiez is going to make it till the end of the series

Yeah I think he'll be killed off

The Quill/Charlie stuff if the most interesting part of the show tbh.

But I have a horrid feeling that it's still so vague because they don't actually know what it's all about at this point. :worry:
