Line 34:
** Asshole though he is, it's pretty apparent that his only friend is his dog. And even the dog didn't care that he disappeared.
* [[Badass Boast]]: The Doctor has a couple of these.
* [[Bigger Onon the Inside]]: The dollhouse. Even accounting for the shrinking, it's much larger and more intricate than it should be in scale.
{{quote| '''The Doctor''': "It's more common than you think."}}
* [[Blatant Lies]]: When Amy, Rory and the Doctor are knocking on doors they claim rather ridiculous things.
Line 48:
*** Not to mention that Alex's speech to George at the end was a lot like {{spoiler|Nancy's to her son}} at the end of [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S1 E10 The Doctor Dances|The Doctor Dances]].
** {{spoiler|The kid victim being the source of all the power and not being fully human? [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S2 E11 Fear Her|Fear Her]]?}}
** The Doctor makes [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 E06 The Vampires of Venice|vampire teeth in a mirror]].
** The Doctor still thinks [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 E11 The Lodger|kissing people on the cheeks is an acceptable greeting in 21st-century England.]]
** What do we do with things [[Adolf Hitler|we don't like?]] We [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32 E8 Let's Kill Hitler|put them in the cupboard.]]
Line 72:
* [[Enfant Terrible]]
* {{spoiler|[[Everybody Lives]]}}
* [[Everything's Deader Withwith Zombies]]: The dolls. Be very glad they're stuck in one location, since that would be the most terrifying [[Zombie Apocalypse]] ever.
* [[Evil Elevator]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]: The [[Creepy Doll|CreepyDolls]] ''[[Hell Is That Noise|never stop laughing]]''.
Line 91:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Who knew [[Ashes to Ashes|Jim Keats]] could have such a soft and cuddly side?
** [[How Not to Live Your Life|Mrs. Treacher's lightened up a bit]].
** When did [[Three Hundred300|Ephialtes]] become a landlord?
* [[Happily Adopted]]: {{spoiler|In a way. George's parents love him, and he loves them, but no one was aware he was adopted}}.
* [[Hollywood Darkness]]: Averted.
Line 119:
Tick tock goes the clock<br />
Even for {{spoiler|the Doctor…}} }}
* [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]]: {{spoiler|The landlord who threatens Alex with a dog is the first one to get turned into a [[Creepy Doll]]. He gets better. Unfortunately}}.
* [[Law of Inverse Fertility]]: George's parents were desperate for a baby and tried for everything, but just couldn't succeed. Fortunately, a space-faring psychic cuckoo saw that they wanted a baby.
* [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]]: Alex initially blamed George's terrors on too much scary television, so he stopped letting him watch it. The Doctor emphatically [[Aside Glance|replies]] that you don't want to do ''that...''
* [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: Admit it, you were relieved when Amy {{spoiler|turned into a doll.}} Nothing to do with how you feel about Amy. It's just that once Amy {{spoiler|turned into a doll, you knew she and all the other dolls would turn back to normal by episode's end and this would be an episode where [[Everybody Lives]].}}
* [[Madness Mantra]]: "Please save me from the monsters. Please save me from the monsters. Please save me from the monsters..."
Line 150:
* [[Spot of Tea]]
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Rory is surprisingly unsympathetic to George's fear, first teasing Amy about letting the monsters gobble him up and secondly thinking it's just junk mail. Amy even gives him a small [[Death Glare]] for the first one.
* [[Things That Go Bump in Thethe Night]]: George's world is littered with nightmares. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Good thing his parents taught him to focus all his fears on his closet...]]
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: {{spoiler|When the Doctor tries to confront George about his alien nature, George freaks out and traps him and his father in the dollhouse}}.
* [[Wham! Line]]: Boy howdy:
{{quote| '''Alex:''' {{spoiler|''Claire can't have kids''!}}}}
