Further Thoughts on The Eleventh Hour

I was just looking at screencaps of the episode, and I noticed a few things.

1. Amy is very good at going bug-eyed. Almost as good as the 4th Doctor.
2. The brand of Jeff's laptop appears to be "MYTH" (only the 'Y' is a trident). Is that a well-known UK brand, or did the props department do that on purpose?
3. Matt Smith has a rather weird-looking face. Mind you, I noticed that before, but it's more noticeable in stills, when he's not in profile.
4. It was a lot clearer in hindsight that Amy was a kiss-o-gram; since when do policewomen wear miniskirts?

Not to mention seamed stockings.

I've never heard of it, though that's not conclusive. The best-known PC brands in the UK are those of the big multi-nationals, such as Dell, HP and the like.

That was pretty much what I said when she first appeared! I thought it was gratuitous sexy costume fail, and was delighted that there was a reason for it--and that she handcuffed him to keep him there so he couldn't run off again. L-) I think the only thing that didn't work for me was the Tigger bit going on too long. Greg and I keep telling each other how good it was and how great Eleven and Amy will be. :-D

The Myth would be a made-up brand; the BBC has (unlike the US networks with all their Apples) a policy that brand names aren't shown. The Blackberry had its brand removed IIRC.

And I still haven't made my Eleven icon!
