Watching Doctor Who s3e2...

... and just about fell out of my chair when the Doctor said "57 academics just punched the air."

Now back to the episode...

ETA: And the only reason I didn't fall out of my chair at "EXPELLIARMUS!!" was that I was holding an open ink bottle. XD

What did he say "57 etc." in response to? I didn't quite catch it.

Shakespeare was flirting with Martha, and the Doctor ran back and said something to the effect of "we can flirt later" and Shakespeare leered at him and said something to the effect of "Is that a promise?" :)

The real Shakespeare produced a number of love sonnets that were written, many academics say, to a young man. Sonnet 57 was one of them - I don't know if that number was meaningful or not, or if it's meaningful, whether it was that sonnet or something else that will be revealed later in the season.

I watched this episode on a big projector screen, in a hall with about 400 SF fans, at Eastercon.

I do not think the episode could have possibly been any more perfectly tailored to the geekiness of the audience. *grin*

(we also had one of the writers who works on Dr Who present at the con. Very cool)
