Doctor Who Reactions: "The Haunting of Villa Diodati": (SPOILERS)

[The Baron]

1. “She licked it.”
2. “Me and you need to take a squiz at your skeleton.
3. “Mrs. Doctor” - That was amusing.
4. “That is a lone Cyberman.”
5. “You have met my kind before?” “You could say that.”
6. You’d think the Cyberium would have “Cybernized” Shelley.

Overall:  An OK story that felt a bit rushed.  Both this and “Can You Hear Me?” might have been better served as two-parters.  The half-finished Cyberman was an interesting look.

The Eighth Doctor arrived in Geneva on the same night this episode takes place (The Company of Friends: "Mary's Story"), and Mary Shelly later became the Doctor's companion for three adventures. He later recalled those adventures while travelling with Charlotte Pollard, yet the 14th Doctor (by my count) doesn't remember. I know BBC TV is not beholden to follow Big finish audio continuity (hell, it barely follows it's own), but I'm trying to concoct a situation in which both of these timelines "happened." I'm not quite there yet.
