In this first TARDISode, Holmes and Watson finally get a proper tour of the TARDIS, with an appropriate amount of hijinks ensuing.
This TARDISode Provides Examples of:
- Call-Back: I sang a song, and the Daleks ran away.
- Call-Forward:the Doctor: Oo, Starry Night! Love Starry Night — van Gogh is just brilliant!Watson: You've met the man?the Doctor: No, actually, but I should change that...
- Cool Ship: The story is unabashedly an excuse to explore the TARDIS for the writers' and readers' enjoyment.
- Fanboy: True to form, the Doctor fanboys just over watching Holmes and Watson banter.
- Flashback Nightmare: The very first paragraph reveals that Holmes had nightmares about the K'vir for months after returning to London.
- The Insomniac: Poor Doctor...
- Lighter and Fluffier: Oh, absolutely. Even the couple of serious moments the story manages to produce don't stay serious for long.
- Noodle Incident: Dinner with the Medici family — which depresses Holmes because he can't do a thing about bringing them to justice.
- Team Mom: The TARDIS takes good care of her boys.
