History Recap / DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice

-->'''Rory:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It says here I'm your eunuch.]]

** The Doctor says he can't meet Casanova because the he owes Casanova a chicken, but it could just be that Series/{{Casanova}} might look eerily familiar...

** The Doctor says he can't meet Casanova because the Doctor owes him a chicken, but it might just be that Series/{{Casanova}} might look rather like the Doctor's previous incarnation.

* BilingualBonus: "Calvierri" is very similar to the Latin word for "skull".

* WhatTheHellHero: Two for the Doctor this time.

* FishPeople: In their true form, Saturnynians are fish-like [[MonstrousHumanoid monstrous humanoids]] with a shrimp-like tail and various crustaceans legs.

Those of Saturnyne fled to Earth through such a crack, which closed behind them and supposedly destroyed their world. Rosanna intends to rebuild her race by any means necessary, and asks the Doctor to join her in her efforts. Unsurprisingly the Doctor says no, and is disgusted not just by the fact that Rosanna had Isabella executed, but that she didn't even ''know'' her ''name.'' [[HeHadAName That clinches the deal.]]

* ActuallyNotAVampire: Despite the fear of sunlight, the fangs, the blood drinking, and the lack of reflection, these are ''not'' vampires. They're fish aliens using perception filters.

* AristocratsAreEvil: The House of Calvierri is filled with deceptive fish aliens who plan to flood Venice.

** Isabella, when she thinks she's going to be executed by drowning, taunts the Calvierri by reminding them that she's a ''Venetian''. ''"We can all swim!"'' It's subverted in that once she's ''in'' the water she gets eaten alive by space piranhas.

* BigDamnKiss: After they kill a vampire together, Rory and Amy get their first on-screen kiss.

** This [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresofPompeii isn't the first time]] that an alien race fled from the vanishing of their home planet by the season's story arc and attempted to rebuild their society in an Italian city. Coincidentally, the Pyroviles are fire-based lifeforms whereas the "vampires" are aquatic beings, and a character played by Creator/KarenGillan was threatened, directly or indirectly, to be turned into one of their kind in both stories.

* DarkIsEvil: The evil fish aliens, Francesco and Rosanna, are both dressed in dark purple.

* GameFace: The fangs are explained as the survival instinct overriding a perception filter.

* GlamourFailure: The fish aliens go on the fritz after they have been kicked by a feisty redhead.

* HeroicSacrifice: Guido draws the fish aliens away, letting them corner him so he can blow up all that gunpowder we saw earlier, shouting: ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis WE! ARE! VENETIANS!]]''
* HissBeforeFleeing: Only rarely do the vampires flee. Usually, it's the people they encounter, but they do love hissing.

* MarsNeedsWomen: The EvilPlan of the fish aliens is to convert human girls into their own kind so they can become brides for the 10,000 fish men in the canals.

** Amy has this expression a lot when confronted with a room full of vampires, or one advancing on her menacingly.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: These are not the vampires from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay State of Decay]]" or the Haemovores from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E3TheCurseOfFenric The Curse of Fenric]]" or the Plasmavore from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones Smith and Jones]]". They're actually fish-like. The lack of reflections is a simple bug of their perception filters. The fangs peek through the filter thanks to a subconscious override of the filter due to the observer's survival instinct.

* VillainousBSOD: Rosanna's son is dead, her vampire converts are dead, and the Doctor has prevented the destruction of Venice. She feeds herself to her sons.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Rosanna Calvierri's intention is to save her race and her family. It's rather understandable and sympathetic. The way she goes about it, on the other hand, means she's a villain.

** Rory trying to defeat one vampire/fish alien with a self-made cross. It doesn't work. Amy calls him out on this because they already knew that the vampires were alien fish and would not have this weakness.

** The look of the vampire girls is a deliberate homage to the Film/HammerHorror era. They also look a bit like the girls of [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Castle Anthrax]].

* OutOfCharacterMoment: The Eleventh Doctor outright scream at Amy when she doesn't want to wait somewhere safe. It is a little odd since he is normally a lot nicer in this kind of situation and other episodes use TranquilFury to show this doctor's anger unless pushed to the extremes. It may be a result of it being one of his earlier episodes, before the character was truly pounded out.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: For some reason, the sight of Amy in a miniskirt doesn't raise any eyebrows. In ''1580''.

* GlamourFailure: The fish aliens don't show up in mirrors due to a technical result in their shimmers. Also, they go on the fritz after they have been kicked by a feisty redhead.

* CharacterDevelopment: After the Doctor's experiences with Rose Tyler, Martha Jones and Sarah Jane Smith, it's sunk in that having female companions in unrequited love with you is actually quite cruel, so he goes to some trouble to sort out Amy and her fiancé. They nearly get killed in the process, so the Doctor hasn't changed ''that'' much.

The one where Rory and the Doctor nearly engaged in a dick-measuring contest.

** The Doctor references ''Film/TheWickerMan''.

The ColdOpen starts in 1580, with a man called Guido presenting his daughter to be trained at a certain school run by the House of Calvierri, since there's no future for the daughter of a boat builder and the Calvierri house is considered a safehold from plague. She is accepted by Rosanna Calvierri and her son, Francesco, who wear dark clothes and smile a lot and are therefore already suspicious in the eyes of the audience. Guido leaves, assured of his daughter's future, but we're not quite so assured, since as soon as the door closes on her father Francesco displays an impressive pair of teeth in front of Isabella. She begins to scream . . .

The Doctor offers Rory and Amy a wedding gift of a trip in the TARDIS to a romantic getaway, and they end up in Venice . . . in 1580. This should be fun.

However, just as they're about to set out and explore, they get stopped. Apparently you need papers to travel around Venice at the moment, because of the fears of plague and such. The Doctor presents their credentials with the psychic paper ("I am so sorry, Your Holiness. I didn't realise.") and they enter the city, just in time to see Guido get blocked from talking to Isabella by members of the House of Calvierri. The Doctor is on the case! Meanwhile, Amy and Rory have a bit of a bicker, but then decide to bask in the fact that they're in Venice! In 1580! While they're basking, Francesco gets approached by a flower seller. He isn't interested in her wares, but he does want something else . . .

Cue the teeth, and cue the screams. Amy and Rory rush to find Francesco making a meal out of the poor girl, though thankfully he doesn't get the chance to finish as he flees . . . apparently into the canal. What was that about vampires not being able to cross running water again?

In the end, Rory ends up posing as Amy's brother in Guido's borrowed clothes. This means Guido is poling a gondola around Venice wearing a T-shirt with the immortal phrase "Rory's Stag" on the back (and a picture of the two lovebirds in a heart on the front). A nervous Rory stammers through the cover story, which leaves something to be desired, but the Calvierris seem to buy it. Francesco is showing decidedly more interest in Amy than she, Rory or the audience would like. In the girls' dormitory Amy comes across Isabella, and learns that the Calvierri are bringing about some sort of change in her that makes the sunlight burn her. There are some nasty bite marks on her neck . . .

The answer turns out to be a surprising ''no'', for Amy kicks some technological item at Rosanna's waist, [[GlamourFailure the image she's sustaining fails]] and she turns into . . . a giant fish-shrimp alien.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Black girl dies first, and her black father dies next . . . Well, technically, [[HeroicSacrifice he]] [[TakingYouWithMe ties]] for second death with five white women.

--->'''The Doctor:''' She was frightened, I was frightened . . . But we survived, and the relief of it and . . . so, she kissed me.\\

* IncestIsRelative: There's something a bit . . . {{Squick}}y about how Francesco and Rosanna interact with each other.

* MeaningfulName: There was another Guido who famously fiddled around with gunpowder . . .

* MoodWhiplash: At the very end it's all joking about with Amy and "her boys", and then . . . silence. Utter silence. Not even the water is making any noise and everyone in the area has vanished. The Doctor wisely gets inside the TARDIS as the episode ends.

* MundaneSolution: The Doctor shuts down the weather machine by . . . flicking a switch, amd a small one at that.

* NonActionGuy: Rory is Mickey Smith v 2.0, or [[Series/{{Torchwood}} Rhys]] v 2.0. Quite a lot like Larry from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E10Blink "Blink"]], too. In any case, he's much less action-y than the Doctor.
* NonMammalMammaries: Joked about. "Blimey, fish from space have never been so . . . buxom."

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: These are not the vampires from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay "State of Decay"]] or the Haemovores from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E3TheCurseOfFenric "The Curse of Fenric"]] or the Plasmavore from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones "Smith and Jones"]]. They're actually fish-like. The lack of reflections is a simple bug of their perception filters. The fangs peek through the filter thanks to a subconscious override of the filter due to the observer's survival instinct.

* WeCanRuleTogether: After learning he's a Time Lord, Rosanna suggests the Doctor help her build a new society on Earth. The Doctor refuses due to awkward interspecies issues ("Think of the children") . . . and because she kills people.

** After Amy gets grabbed and they find a skeleton, Rory tells the Doctor that he's dangerous because of what he makes people want to do for him. (Essentially the same point Davros made in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]].) Later {{inverted|Trope}} on the Doctor by Rory, when he and Amy insist on helping him:

* YourMom: "The only thing I've seen uglier than you is . . . your mum!" Which in turn results in EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas, and an OhCrap look from Rory.

The one with the Doctor's expired library card-- a card so expired it still has William Hartnell on it.

The answer turns out to be a surprising ''no'', for Amy kicks some technological item at Rosanna's waist; [[GlamourFailure the image she's sustaining fails]] and she turns into . . . a giant fish-shrimp alien.

* ActuallyNotAVampire: Despite the fear of sunlight, the fangs, the blood drinking, and the lack of reflection, these are ''not'' vampires. They're fish aliens that are using preception filters.

-->'''Rory:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It says here I'm your eunuch]].

** This is the second time in the new series Ethat the Doctor has [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars driven someone to suicide.]]

* GlamourFailure: The fish aliens don't show up in mirrors due to a technical result in their shimmers. Also, they go on the fritz after they have been kicked by a fiesty redhead.

** Rory calls Francesco [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob.]]

** The Doctor [[Film/BackToTheFuture climbs a stone edifice in a storm in order to do something to a mechanical device.]]

* VisualPun: When Francisco draws his sword and Rory [[OhCrap looks terrified]], the camera repeatedly cuts to [[NobodyCallsMeChicken the nearby chickens.]]

* OhMeAccentsSlipping: Amy's pronunciation of "blokes" is definitely interesting for a Scot.

* CaliforniaDoubling: Croatia Doubling, since the city of Trogir has authentically Venetian architecture (but no canals).

The Doctor offers Rory and Amy a wedding gift of a trip in the TARDIS to a romantic getaway, and they end up in Venice... in 1580. This should be fun.

However, just as they're about to set out and explore, they get stopped. Apparently you need papers to travel around Venice at the moment, because of the fears of plague and such. The Doctor presents their credentials with the psychic paper ("I am so sorry, Your Holiness.

--->'''The Doctor:''' She was frightened, I was frightened... But we survived, and the relief of it and... so, she kissed me.\\

* ImprobableHairstyle: Isabella is black and lives in the 16th century, and yet her hair is perfectly straight.
* IncestIsRelative: There's something a bit... {{Squick}}y about how Francesco and Rosanna interact with each other.
* JumpingOutOfACake: The Doctor does this at the very beginning. Lucy, the girl who was supposed to jump out, was standing outside. The Doctor asks someone to give her a jumper.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Invoked, to no avail, with "Tell your whole plan!" Someday, that is going to work, but not today.

* MeaningfulName: There was another Guido who famously fiddled around with gunpowder....

* MoodWhiplash: At the very end it's all joking about with Amy and "her boys", and then... silence. Utter silence. Not even the water is making any noise and everyone in the area has vanished. The Doctor wisely gets inside the TARDIS as the episode ends.

* NonMammalMammaries: Joked about. "Blimey, fish from space have never been so... buxom."

** Apparently the Doctor accidentally crashed at least one incorrect stag / hen do by hiding in a cake before happening upon the correct Rory.

** The Doctor gets an OhCrap moment when he realises that Guido is going to use the gunpowder stored in his house to perform a HeroicSacrifice - and he's standing right in front of said house.

** Some people have lambasted the appearance of Isabella and her father as [[TokenMinority tokenism]] and PoliticallyCorrectHistory. Venice was a port and trade city in RealLife, and it wasn't unheard of for African traders to move and set up shop there in the 16th century. See also a moderately well-known play called ''[[Theatre/{{Othello}} Othello, the Moor of Venice]]''. Also [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E2TheShakespeareCode an earlier episode]] points out the fact that even England in 1599 wasn't just fair youths by this point; there were a lot of dark ladies around as well.

* SelfDestructMechanism: It's a switch. A tiny one and it shuts everything down.
* ShipperOnDeck: The Doctor with Amy and Rory. This adventure is his wedding gift.

* WeCanRuleTogether: After learning he's a Time Lord, Rosanna suggests the Doctor help her build a new society on Earth. The Doctor refuses due to awkward interspecies issues ("Think of the children")... and because she kills people.

** After Amy gets grabbed and they find a skeleton, Rory tells the Doctor that he's dangerous because of what he makes people want to do for him. (Essentially the same point Davros made in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]".) Later {{inverted|Trope}} on the Doctor by Rory, when he and Amy insist on helping him:

* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: Rory trying to threaten a skilled swordsman by madly swinging a broom around, while making ''[[FranchiseStarWars lightsaber]] noises'' no less.

The ColdOpen starts in 1580, with a man called Guido presenting his daughter to be trained at a certain school run by the House of Calvierri, since there's no future for the daughter of a boat builder and the Calvierri house is considered a safehold from plague. She is accepted by Rosanna Calvierri and her son, Francesco, who wear dark clothes and smile a lot and are therefore already suspicious in the eyes of the audience. Guido leaves, assured of his daughter's future, but we're not quite so assured, since as soon as the door closes on her father Francesco displays an impressive pair of teeth in front of Isabella. She begins to scream....

Guido causes a ruckus outside the Calvierri house, giving the Doctor a chance to sneak in through a back entrance. He ends up in a cellar, where he gets [[DistractedByMyOwnSexy distracted by a mirror]], before realizing that there are in fact five young women standing behind him, and none of them have a reflection. Ominous. They, quite understandably, demand to know who he is, only they do it in synchronization. More ominous. The Doctor tries to bluff his way out by using the psychic paper, but accidentally gets his extremely old library card instead. (As in, it's got his ''first'' face and his 1960s' London address on it.) The girls display some rather impressive teeth -- oh, now that's not right -- and don't even have the decency to tell him the whole plan, so he decides to get out of there sharpish.

In the end, Rory ends up posing as Amy's brother in Guido's borrowed clothes. This means Guido is poling a gondola around Venice wearing a T-shirt with the immortal phrase "Rory's Stag" on the back (and a picture of the two lovebirds in a heart on the front). A nervous Roy stammers through the cover story, which leaves something to be desired, but the Calvierris seem to buy it. Francesco is showing decidedly more interest in Amy than she, Rory or the audience would like. In the girls' dormitory Amy comes across a Isabella, and learns that the Calvierri are bringing about some sort of change in her that makes the sunlight burn her. There are some nasty bite marks on her neck....

Satisfied at a job well done, Rosanna returns to her audience chamber -- only to find the Doctor, quite recovered from his shock and sitting on her throne. He identifies her as a Sister of the Water and from Saturnyne. There follows a question and answer session where they learn things about each other and also answers some of the questions we've had about these not-vampires, such as why they don't show up in mirrors (the perception filter around them means that the brain that's being manipulated doesn't know what to fill the gap with, so leaves it blank). It also emerges that Rosanna and her people have had some encounters with the cracks, through which they saw silence and the end of all things.

As the people panic around them on their way back to the TARDIS, Rory and Amy encounter Francesco, who decides to take the opportunity to fulfill his ambition and make a meal out of Amy. Still laboring under the impression that he's a vampire, Rory tries to ward him off with a makeshift cross, which Francesco responds to with no little contempt. Rory's attempts to distract him are unsuccessful [[YourMom until an ill-chosen crack about Francesco's mother]], which Francesco does ''not'' appreciate; Rory's feeble attempts at defending himself with [[WhatTheFuAreYouDoing Broom Fu]] pale in comparison to Francesco's expert swordsmanship, and Rory looks like he's about to become a Saturnynian feast until Amy distracts Francesco with a hint of sunlight catching her pocket mirror. This has the added bonus of blowing Francesco up. Amy takes the opportunity to critique Rory's technique and to kiss him passionately, and both make tracks to help the Doctor.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Because Big Vicious Fish People From Space of Venice isn't quite as catchy.

* AristocratsAreEvil: House of Calvierri is filled with deceptive fish aliens who plan to flood Venice.

* BavarianFireDrill: The Doctor uses the Psychic Paper to claim he's ''UsefulNotes/ThePope'', and later that Amy is the daughter of the King of Sweden. Roy's an eunuch.

** The Doctor identifies himself to the vampire girls by showing his library card. It has a picture of the First Doctor on. If you look at it in close up, you can see the card is in the name of Dr J Smith of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E1AnUnearthlyChild 76 Totter's Lane]], Shoreditch, London.
** This [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresofPompeii isn't the first time]] that an alien race fled from the vanishing of their home planet by the season's story arc and attempted to rebuild their society in an Italian city. Coincidentally, the Pyroviles are fire-based lifeforms whereas the vampires are aquatic beings, and a character played by Creator/KarenGillan was threatened, directly or indirectly, to be turned into one of their kind in both stories.

** It isn't [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E6TheLazarusExperiment the first time]] that the Doctor has had to lure an alien up to the top of a very tall bell tower. It reverses the original scene -- in "The Lazarus Experiment", the bells caused pain to Lazarus, in "Vampires of Venice", they cause pain to the Doctor.

** This is the second time in the new series that the Doctor has [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars driven someone to suicide.]]
** The Doctor mentions how aliens with vampiric traits are "classic".
* CoolChair: The Calvierri [[http://i49.tinypic.com/htutqf.jpg throne]] is purple and gold and a control hub for a weather device.

* {{Dissimile}}: "You're like Houdini, only five slightly scary girls. And he was shorter. [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble Will be shorter.]]"

-->'''The Doctor:''' Funny how you can say something in your head, and it '''sounds''' fine.

* HeroicSacrifice: Guido draws the fish aliens away, letting them corner him so he can blow up all that gunpowder we saw earlier, shouting: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis WE! ARE! VENETIANS!]]

** Seriously, the only characters (whether they had any lines or not) who survive, apart from the main trio, are the steward, that remarkably lucky flower girl who typically might have bought it and the official at the start.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Subverted. Rory would appreciate it if he was ''not'' introduced as Amy's brother. He's her ''finace'' thank you very much.

* NonActionGuy: Rory is Mickey Smith v 2.0 or [[Series/{{Torchwood}} Rhys]] v 2.0. Quite a lot like Larry from "Blink", too. In any case, he's much less action-y than the Doctor.

** Some people have lambasted the appearance of Isabella and her father as [[TokenMinority tokenism]] and PoliticallyCorrectHistory. Venice was a port and trade city in RealLife, and it wasn't unheard of for African traders to move and set up shop there in the 16th century.

Also [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E2TheShakespeareCode an earlier episode]] points out the fact that even England in 1599 wasn't just fair youths by this point; there were a lot of dark ladies around as well.

** Isabella's demise is similar to the very first death in ''Film/{{Jaws}}''. They even play the theme in the ''Series/DoctorWhoConfidential'' when they show the filming of the scene.
** Rory's use of crossed candlesticks as a makeshift cross mirrors Van Helsing's similar act in the 1958 ''Film/{{Dracula|1958}}''.
** Rory calls Francesco [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob.]]
** [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} The Doctor only has to flip a small switch in order to stop the doomsday machine.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Calvierri's intention is to save her race and her family. It's rather understandable and sympathetic. The way she goes about it on the other hand means she's a villain.

* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: Rory trying to threaten a skilled swordsman by madly swinging a broom around.

** After Amy gets grabbed and they find a skeleton, Rory tells the Doctor that he's dangerous because of what he makes people want to do for him.

* GlamourFailure: The fish aliens don't show up in mirrors do a technical result in their shimmers. Also, they go on the fritz after they have been kicked by a fiesty redhead.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Doctor saves Venice by sabotaging Rosanna's plan to save her race. You could say that broke it by fixing something else.

* ThatCameOutWrong: In retrospect, the Doctor's attempting to reassure Rory about Amy kissing him by insisting that she's a great kisser was probably a mistake.

** Rory calls Francesco [[SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob.]]

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: These are not the vampires from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay "State of Decay"]] or the Plasmavore from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones "Smith and Jones"]] or the Haemovores from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E3TheCurseOfFenric "The Curse of Fenric"]]. They're actually fish-like. The lack of reflections is a simple bug of their perception filters. The fangs peek through the filter thanks to a subconscious override of the filter due to the observer's survival instinct.
