Except for the dislike for Vastra and Strax, whom I rather like, I completely concur. Especially with the “mystery companion” stuff. First Amy, now Clara - enough already!
I wonder if this is why so many of us rate Donna as our favorite companion? She wasn’t in love with the Doctor, she wasn’t intimidated by him, and she wasn’t a puzzle to be solved; she was just a smart, snarky woman who traveled with him and gave him shit when it was called for. And had a badass grandfather. God, I miss her…
Once they saw Herrick, they really should have just packed up and gotten out of there. Bad things happen when Herrick is around.
Glad it wasn’t just me that thought that. I’m not sure I would have been quite so creeped out by him if I hadn’t seen him in Being Human first.
THANK YOU! I couldn’t place him, and it was really, really bugging me.
Who is Herrick?
Herrick is the name of a character from the show Being Human played by Jason Watkins who played Webley in the episode.
And Herrick (the character) was a really nasty piece of work. As in “smile and then tear your throat out” nasty.
For anyone who’s only seen the US Being Human, he’s the equivalent of the Bishop character.
