I felt like I was talking to myself last week, and I don't actually have to be online to do that, so rather than type out my full thoughts on this one, I'll aim for controversy.

The Goblin Song: yea or nay?

Absolute yea!

Although I wasn't a fan of how the goblins kept acting like they were going to eat the baby, ready with knives and forks, but no, really it was the king the only one who was going to try it.

My brain can usually get around the sci-fi-magic in doctor who but that sort of argumental u-turn gets me scratching my head for too long, even if it's a small detail.

Best not to think about how many babies that big fella needs to fill his belly per day — plus according to the song lyrics, the little goblins do also eat but I guess royalty gets the first bite?

I love/hate it when I get bumped by stupid stuff like that.

I'm also a "yea" - the one thing that bumped me was Ruby joining in so readily. My first assumption was that it was the magic at work, but then I remembered that they sort of introduced her musical talent during the pub scene. I don't think we saw quite enough to ascertain how talented she was, though.
