I really don't like this episode. I wanted to, I really did, and Alan Cumming is a lot of fun in it. But it just doesn't make a lot of sense and it's an oddly light tone for a story about witch hunts, which feels weird. I mean, a lot of people died right before the team showed up. That feels like it should mean something? I know a lot of folks love it and more power to them, but this one was a miss for me.

2020-04-16 02:03:59 +0000 UTCEzekiel 25:17 actually reads: “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”... in the King James Version. This episode is implying a Bootstrap Paradox; Graeme quotes Pulp Fiction, which King James mishears as Ezekielm, implying that's how he then writes it.

2020-03-27 03:19:57 +0000 UTCI adore this episode purely because of how much fun Alan Cumming is clearly having. (Only rivalled by Michael Sheen in Slaughterhouse Rulez)

2020-03-26 10:59:11 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t say you’re alone in that opinion. It’s definitely grown on me through rewatches and is in my top 3. Alan Cumming’s performance makes the episode so fun! I would love to see him make an encore in the future. Maybe he could cross paths with Captain Jack?
