Doctor Who/Recap/S14/E06 The Talons of Weng Chiang: Difference between revisions

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Greel gets an amazing one in the episode 4 cliffhanger.

* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: Leela's response to an imminent and agonizing death at the hands of Magnus Greel shows a marked difference in attitude to that of previous female companions.

* [[Filipinos With Firearms]]: Apparently the Philippines is a world power in the 51st century as the Doctor mentions marching with the Filipino Army as they advanced on a Supreme Alliance stronghold of Reykjavik. This is endlessly amusing to the few Filipinos who've heard about this episode (or this show, for that matter).

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] -- Leela has a [[Wet Sari Scene]] moment just after the giant rat sequence that apparently has not been edited out in over 30 years...

* [[God Guise]]: Magnus Greel posing as Weng-Chiang, though he doesn't try to hide his identify from Chang to whom it makes no difference anyway, as Greel has raised him up from his humble life as a peasant to a man who performs before royalty.

'''Chang:''' "He came to me like a god, in his cabinet of fire!" }}

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Greel ends up killed by his own life-extraction chamber.}}
