Admittedly, I did not like The Crimson Horror the first time I saw it, but the second viewing unearths some cute gems. I can further appreciate the on and off screen mother and daughter relationship between Diana Rigg and Rachel Stirling along with a few other notes.
1. Matt's shuffle towards the steam room reminds me of Frankenstein.
2. The scenes between Ada and the Doctor where she refers to him as her monster. It is also sad to see her discover he is gone from his cell and we hear her whimpering "where are you monster? Where are you?"
3. The lightheartedness of the Doctor's antics including leaping out of the steam room towards Jenny, "Ah. Miss me?" There is also the moment when he confronts Mrs. Gillyflower, "I'm the doctor. You're nuts and I'm going to stop you."
4. Matt kissing people. The Doctor dips and kisses Jenny. She slaps him and he says, "you have no idea how good that feels." The Doctor kisses Clara on the forehead. He also kisses Ada on the cheek.
5. The old footage.
6. The Doctor and Clara apply to Sweetsville as Doctor and Mrs. Smith, a cute nod to Matt's name.
7. The Doctor and Clara's relationship and how he often refers to it as complicated. I also like their little chat at the end.
Doctor: You're the boss.
Clara: Am I?
Doctor: No, no. Get in.
Clara: Am I?
Doctor: No, no. Get in.
8. Strax's comments including "Horse, you have failed in your mission. We are lost without any sign of sweetsville. Do you have any last words before your summary execution? "
9. Jenna looks like Helena Bonham Carter when she comes out of the steam room. Matt sometimes reminds me of Johnny Depp as well.
10. The empowerment of women while still kicking ass.
The making and intro is always great too.
