I found last week's episode of Dr. Who boring. Clara and the Doctor trapped on a Russian sub in the middle of the cold war; trying to stop a martian ice warrior from detonating a nuclear missile. This is after one of the Russian sailors shot him of course, so the warrior had a good reason to be ticked off.
The storyline sounds exciting, but I just wasn't feeling it. I don't know if it was the lack of characters- there are always a few more colourful characters on this show than just the Doctor and his companion. Or the fact they were confined to the "one space" and "one time," but it was a real yawn for me. I'll give them this one, after all they can't all be as exciting. And it probably added something to the season's overall story- there was a tie in with the Christmas special in the ice warrior. That Christmas special is going to play a lot more into this season than they usually do.
Meanwhile Orphan Black took a few more turns but at the same time the pace slowed down a lot as they developed the characters. Sarah continued settling into "Beth's" life, and continued developing a relationship with her partner. Alison taught Sarah/Beth how to shoot a gun, and laid down some ground rules with regards to her family.
The funny part was Felix and the kids. Felix had to babysit Alison's kids while she went with Sarah to the gun range. By the time they got home he had them playing around cross-dressing. Alison was not impressed. The episode ended with Beth/ Sarah chasing a suspect who eventually is revealed to be yet another clone with potentially some kind of powers maybe? You'd have to quickly heal from those scratches.
