Watch that ^ please. Leave lots of comments. I promised I'd shamelessly pimp those vids here.
So, New Who:
OMG they CHANGED THE THEME SONG! ARGH! … oooo, it's catchy … *bobs head*
I like the new soundtrack. It's funny and happy with a touch of sadness.
Moving on …
Let's begin with a summary:
"What happened?"
"I think the Doctor happened."
Yeah, and, apparently, he's discovering his sex-appeal. That's always fun!:
Doctor: What's that?
Woman: My telephone number.
Doctor: What for?
Woman: Health and safety. You be health, I'll be safety. *grinz suggestively*
Doctor: *stutters incoherently*
Me: *sporfles*
He just looks so adorably awkward during this episode! I mean, he seems to be rather lost at this point, so Donna is just what he needs, like Nine needed Rose, and post-Rose Ten needed Martha, and now post-Martha Ten needs Donna. It's a lovely circle.
The Doctor/Donna reunion was the best, hilarious, most ridiculous thing EVER. What the HELL was Donna 'talking' about towards the end, anyhoodle?
When Foster saw them and was all "Am I interrupting you?" I nearly fell out of my seat.
Donna seizes the Doctor's hand and drags him off towards the TARDIS. Then she promptly yanks out more luggage than the rich kids from NYC at my summer camp had.
YAY HATBOX! TARDIS/Hatbox is my new OTP!
"You don't want me?"
Donna, as a Companion, it'll take a few episodes for the FANS to figure that out, let alone the Doctor.
Donna Quotes:
"And I'll find him Gramps. I'll find him, even if I have to wait a hundred years, I'll find him."
Ahhhh, Companions!
"Oh, I know all that bit. Though you could turn the heat up."
*giggles*
"And you've got the same suit! Don't you ever change?!"
Count yerself lucky, Donna …
"Hold on!"
"I am!"
Hahahahhahahaa …
"This is all your fault! I shoulda stayed at home!"
Donna, don't start quoting 'The Magic Schoolbus.' It's beneath you.
Doctor: I just want a mate.
Donna: You just want to mate?!
Doctor: I just want a mate.
Donna: You're not mating with me, sunshine!
Doctor: A mate, I want a mate!
Donna: Well just as well because I'm not having any of that nonsense, I mean you're just a long streak of … nothing, you know, alien nothing!
Doctor: There we are then.
*beams* They haven't seen those suggestive promos. Good for them.
On the Lardlings (credited to lordllama):
Oh my GOD. Oh my GOD. I saw the promo but … oh my GOD. That might be the single most disturbing thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It's right up there with Dead!Owen 'not-throwing up' …
Well, as long as the little potato penguin CGI thingies don't kill ya, as long as they just scamper off to live their lives, it's a pretty neat idea!
Awwww, they're kinda cute, really … getting beamed up by Scotty …
"What're ya gonna do then? Blow 'em up?"
"They’re just children, they can't help where they came from."
"Oh, well that makes a change from last time. That Martha mustve done you good." Oh, Donna, you have no idea. *smiles*
On Loneliness, Mates, Martha, and the Master:
I nearly cried when the Doctor started explaining what the capsole was, looked up, saw that no one was there, and stood about sadly. I think he might have been drumming slightly, too … but don't quote me on that …
Doctor, you didn't destroy Martha's life! You made Martha Martha, and the Master tried to fuck with that and it DIDN'T WORK, he made her even MORE Martha! Martha is a better, more confident, even attractive person because of what you did for her. The same goes for you! (Because the Doctor/Martha dynamic is purely symbiotic.)
"You look older."
*sighs* Yeah, he is. In so many ways …
"She fancied me."
"Mad Martha, that one. Blind Martha. Charity Martha."
And yet, in two minutes you're hugging the Doctor … ah well, if she falls for the Doctor it's gonna be a "Hey, I'm in love with you, snog me or I'm off!" thing, not a "Erm, uh … *blushes*" thing.
Oh, the Doctor's face if she did the former would be PRICELESS.
"Would you rather be on your own?"
"No. No, really, no."
*cough* BRING BACK THE MASTER *cough* NOW *cough*
When Donna realizes she really can come, it's lovely. The Doctor beams, they run to hug, she remembers the car keys, I grin like an idiot while the inspiring music abounds.
On the Rani Mrs. Foster:
"Keep an eye out, she'll be back. And then, she'll be mine."
Oooo, femslash already!
OMG she's got a sonic device too! Badass!
Yay for Sonic Pen! "It's definitely sleek."
Yay for experimentation with sonic devices!
Boo for Mrs. Foster not being the Rani and thus not pulling the Master out of a closet (pun intended)!
Poor Nanny … though once the fans realized she wasn't the Rani she hadn't much of a hope.
Miscellaneous Bits About The Doctor:
Poor Doctor, his gadget/toy/paperclips-and-string-device isn't working out so hot …
I love how the Doctor kept sonic-ing the door and there's a small explosion. It was just a sporfle-moment the first time, but the SECOND TIME … wow.
Stethoscope FTW!
"How do you loose a planet?"
Doctor, it's very simple, according to you!
Pertaining to the Extras, Who Acted the HELL Out of This Episode *Applauds*:
You can tell I've been watching this show too long when I see the catflap and freak out. They're right up there with CHRISTMAS TREES. I'm beginning to think that Russell T. Davies had a troubled childhood …
"I'm not a cat person."
"No, I've met cat-people, you're nothing like them." BRING BACK BRANNIGAN! *waves arms frantically*
I love generic-extra-guy who may or may not be a potential slash-mate for the Doctor.
"No one's gonna come home with a magic wand and make it all better."
Erm, blabby lady? Hate to break it to you, but … you're on Doctor Who!
I'd hang out with Grandad 'Up the Hill!' He's pretty cool …
"Don't suppose you've seen a little blue box?"
"Is that slang for something?"
Not at this hour, Grandad. When Torchwood comes on, however …
"You seem to be drifting sweetheart."
"I'm not drifting, I'm waiting."
Yeah, because 'Adift' is a Torchwood episode.
"What on Earth is it now?"
And it's a big, gigantic, circular spaceship. *sporfles*
It slides right behind Gramps, who's got his music turned up loud. Poor man … *huggles him*
"Is anyone gonna tell me what's going on?"
"What are you, a journalist?"
"Yes …"
"Make it up."
Hee …
"Oi! You two! You're just … mad. Dya hear me? Mad! And I'm gonna report you for … madness!"
She's still tied to that bloody chair … poor girl.
The Bad Wolf:
Donna leaves the car keys, probably in the same bin the sonic pen (aka, will-come-back-to-bite-you-in-the-arse-in-future-episodes/gonna-get-nabbed-by-Torchwood/the-Master's-new-plan) is in, and tells a person whose face we don't see to tell an older woman where they are.
The person is blond. I stop breathing.
ROSE turns around and stares off into the distance poutily, secretly reveling in the squeals she's provoking. I myself shrieked out loud, and scared a person across the room. AND I KNEW SHE WAS COMING BACK MONTHS AGO!
Rose walks off to the tune of epic piano plinks, and FADES AWAY. Like a GHOST.
Ooooooo! This oughta be fun fun fun!
The Last Scene:
"I know exactly where I wanna go. Two and a half miles that way."
As the blue box flies through the sky above The Hill, Gramps yells for Donna.
Then he looks through his telescope and sees her waving ecstatically.
Behind her, the Doctor waving too, smiling.
They zoom off, andGramps does a fangirl dance.
I grin HUGELY and punch the air.
Next Week: Ancient
"We're in
So, hopes for a certain Capt. Jack Harkness as well!

Date: 2008-04-10 03:35 am (UTC)I should probably stop bitching about how much I hate the Rose storyline and just accept it, right? Well, at least Billie Piper is looking phenomenal.
no subject
Date: 2008-04-10 02:11 pm (UTC)Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous. But it got Donna into the TARDIS, and there were some funny bits. It's no 'Human Nature' but it's not 'Fear Her' either ...
RTD is officially ON NOTICE.
Does that mean the fans could come in and kick him out at any time? If so, hasn't he been like that for a while now?
I should probably stop bitching about how much I hate the Rose storyline and just accept it, right?
As she hasn't done anything but VANISH the jury's still out on my end.
Well, at least Billie Piper is looking phenomenal.
Yeah, she was I guess.
no subject
Date: 2008-04-11 01:09 am (UTC)Meh. I loved the pantomine convo, and Donna having the second capsule. True, it was not 'Fear Her'. That's not the measurement for how awful an ep is.
Does that mean the fans could come in and kick him out at any time? If so, hasn't he been like that for a while now?
See, but now it's official. Because there were bits of awesome in the end of S3. There was little to no awesome in this ep. I've heard rumors that he's supposed to leave in a couple of seasons, and Steven Moffat (my second favorite writer ever) might take over.

You know they have to finish it now that they've shown her, or the Rosefen will go apeshit.
Yeah, she was I guess.
She didn't have all that gnarly mascara she usually does.
no subject
Date: 2008-04-11 02:18 pm (UTC)Me too. The entire silent conversation was FANTASTIC. Both actors sold it so well ... then again DT could make faces and look startled at a houseplant and I'd love it ... I have high hopes for Donna, though.

What is?

Wait ... he's the one who did 'Girl in the Fireplace' right? He does all the fantasic episodes, right? WOOHOO! *shoves Russell T. Davies out the door* (Will we even NEED to threaten Moffat to get him to bring the Master back?)

Yeah, but still, kinda silly. I'd hate to think of how much she was paid to stare into space and walk off.

I KNEW something was different! Plus her hair looks nicer.

Yes! I love Steven. (I think they're going to give the Master a long break, because he's so awesome. They might even wait until Tennant retires.)
Yeah, but still, kinda silly. I'd hate to think of how much she was paid to stare into space and walk off.
Damn. I didn't even think of that.

She looks more mature now.

Yes! I love Steven. (I think they're going to give the Master a long break, because he's so awesome. They might even wait until Tennant retires.)
So the next Master/Doctor canon meeting shall be with ELEVEN?! *SQUEE* On that intriguing note, any rumors as to who's gonna play 11?
Damn. I didn't even think of that.
Rich people have it so easy. *headdesk* Wish I could get paid to stare into space and randomly walk off. I do it enough. Actually, considering how much time I spend confused, bewildered, or yelping at loud noises/flying objects, plus my infatuation with British people, I should apply to be the next Companion.
She looks more mature now.
I guess Mickey and Jake hit it off after all ... we'd BETTER get at least ONE LINE that implies that or I'll fly across the Atlantic to wave my katana in Russel T. Davies' face!

I randomly heard Wil Wheaton (that kid from Star Trek: TNG), but I haven't seen anything backing that up. I personally want it to be a woman. But Tennant's not leaving for a while, so they probably aren't planning yet.

God. I want that job. But I want to 9's companion. But 10 would be okay.

I have not seen Star Trek. Isn't that AWFUL? *headdesk* DO NOT ASK ME TO WATCH STAR TREK! I AM OVERLOADED BY TV SHOWS THAT EVERYONE WANTS ME TO WATCH! I'M CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: Death Note, Life on Mars, Reaper, DW S4, and Farscape. Thankfully DW S3 and Torchwood end next Saturday but STILL *headdesk* Don't even get me STARTED on that-black-hole-that-is-'Lost' ...
God. I want that job. But I want to 9's companion. But 10 would be okay.
As I've never spiritually let go of Nine's hand, I think I've been his Companion from the start. I bet you have too! (Yeah, 10 would be ok, he's much better than he was at first ...)
It's canon anyway! AT least to me.
Well, Ricky/Jake is canon, so perhaps Micky/Jake can be canon too? *makes puppy eyes at Russell T. Davies*

Date: 2008-04-13 12:44 pm (UTC)No, I've seen THOSE! (Duh) I just own the 'digitally remastered/stupid' ones because when I bought them I didn't know what I was doing and they were very expensive you see. I used to watch three at a time on snow days ... they were the only DVDs I owned for several years! (I've seen a few episodes of Star Trek, but I didn't know what the hell was going on so that doesn't count. Let me get through the original Doctor Whos before Star Trek, ok? Please gods above?)
Exactly.
*beams* Given the choice I think we'd all going traveling with Nine instead of Ten, because with Nine you're less likely to be forgotten for something shiny.

No no, he really DOES talk! He didn't much in the past, but now his hilarious dry comments are a lot more common. We've even spoken to each other from time to time! Yahoo! Progress!
You mean, you wish you WERE a lesbian. Trust me, being gay doesn't make anything easier.
Argh! Grammar, it kills me! (Like your food isn't 'healthy' as in, 'can benchpress' but 'healful' ...) It's just ... I dunno, on the whole guys are either smelly jerks or gay ... which is why I'm hoping funny-artist-with-nice-hands-and-Ten's-hair could like DW.

I finally got to listen to it just now ... *sporfles* thankfully nobody can hear it because I snagged some headphones ... sad thing is that's all I'll be thinking for the rest of my life ...
You shouldn't be a second-class citizen. It's unfair and WRONG. Weridest thing is, in America, the Bible-thumping scary freaks who want to 'protect famly values' *snarls* are the most 'patriotic' of the lot, so how do they justify baring certain people from getting married in 'the land of the FREE'?!

Then again, you could just stake it out up there for a very long time lying in wait for me, as it's the best time of year there right now: warm and beautiful with green stuff growing, but no bugs YET. Actually, Early-Spring in Maine would have to be tied with 'Early Fall' in Maine because then all the bugs are dead from cold at night but the air is clear and all the tourists are gone and you can once again walk the beaches!
Besides, I'm stalking c_quinn right now.
Oh dear! Should I rush to her defense, or is it a consenting thing?
DVDs make good murder weapons.
I suppose they would ... particularly since I said if she damaged them she'd have to pay for replacements ... that would make the killing very slow indeed ...
