OH HAPPY DAY!!! *bounces up and down* I can snap my fingers AT LAST! I have never been able to snap my fingers before in my entire life! My fingers hurt from snapping so much! *dances about, grinning madly*
Also, I now possess this amazing bright orange dress with sequins that shows off my rather attractive shoulders and collar bone. *swishes about*
Today was a LOVELY LOVELY day, so sunny and warm, and I finally finished viewing ‘The Fires of Pompeii’ online!
I must admit, when I started the episode yesterday I thought: ok, the TARDIS is gone, and it's Volcano Day: it's like 'The Impossible Planet' all over again with better music and less Ood. I’m very pleased that I was mistaken. (I’m still a bit sore that Capt. Jack didn’t show up … he said he’d conned people with
Btw, am I horrifically geeky because I know that 'Vulcan' doesn't mean Spock, but the god of fire instead?
This was a nice second episode. A pretty decent ‘first date’ for lack of a better word.
You see, Martha got to see Shakespeare, Rose got to see the End of the World, and Donna gets to see
This is the episode where most fans chose to either despise Donna for all of eternity, or embrace her as the latest Companion. I personally am inching off the fence and into the ‘We Like Donna’ Camp. I see nothing wrong with her trying desperately to save someone, anyone. I do not find her stupid. I do not want her to shut up. I like her very logical approach to time-travel: asking if their clothes look odd, attempting to speak in ‘real’ Latin, and insisting she was Spartacus too were very good examples of the ‘gateway character.’ I also love that she doesn’t take any shit from the Doctor. Donna doesn’t give a damn that he’s a Time Lord: she’s got her opinions and by god she’s going to disagree with him if she wants to!
“Well I just might have something to say about that, spaceman!”
“Oh I bet you will!”
The Doctor seems to have accepted this Companion, and they act as though they’ve been together for ages. I mean, really, they’ve had a grand total of one adventure since her non-wedding day, how come they click so well? I’ll tell you why, in my long-winded, philosophical way.
You see, the reason Nine needed Rose was so that she could pull him ever-so-gently away from the dark abyss he was considering throwing himself into. The reason Ten needed Martha was because he needed someone to show him there was life after Rose. The reason the Doctor needs Donna was because he was floundering and needs someone to push him about a bit. (Last week DT portrayed the bewildered-lost-puppy thing very well indeed.) If he couldn’t have the Master to argue with (*sigh*) then Donna is a damn good alternative in my book.
We tolerate the bickering between Donna and the Doctor because it’s usually rather funny and it probably keeps the Doctor’s mind off other more depressing subjects such as his ‘dead’ lover and his ‘lost’ Rose.
In the words of the Doctor:
“You were right. Sometimes I need someone. Welcome aboard.”
Speaking of Rose (as I am wont to do) I made up an analogy: vague-mention-of-Rose-per-episode is to S4 as vague-mention-of-Torchwood-per-episode is to S2. Seriously, I kinda giggled when Lucius said “Doctor, she is returning” because I thought ‘Oh, Lucius has read the spoilers too?’
Not that I mind, really. A Rose is a Rose, even if we can’t smell her.
I thought the “Oh no, we’re not married!” “Oh, then, brother and sister! Yes of course, you look very much alike!” bit was very cute. Jade asked if Nine and Rose were any kind of item in ‘The End of the World’ but I don’t remember anyone ever thinking the Doctor and Rose were together ‘like that.’ Perhaps that’s why Donna makes me comfortable: there’s no romantic silliness involved. She and the Doctor fight like siblings and hug like friends and yeah, she does say “You fought her off … with a water pistol! I bloody love you!” it’s not a ‘let’s snog!’ type thing. Hopefully it never will be because … yeah, Donna/Doctor, no thank you. Besides, if Donna falls for the Doctor she’s not going to stutter and laugh it off like Martha, she’s going to cross her arms and say “I’m in love with you, Doctor. Let’s snog or I’m off!”
Hurrah for Celtic/Welsh! Also “You must excuse my friend, she's from … Barcelona.” was utterly fantastic.
P.S. Donna looks good in navy blue.
Stones and the Sibyl Priestesses:
The stone golems … yeah, that was weird. They look like something you might run into when you’re playing D&D and sounded like Cybermen, but the whole turning-people-into-stone-thing was a pretty nifty idea. I hope it faded from Evaline, is her arm ok when she’s going out on the town in the last scene, I don’t remember. I also liked the eyes on the hands of the priestesses, and the mentions of the Sibyl.
“I met the Sibyl once. Yeah, hell of a woman. Blimey, she could dance a tarantella. Nice teeth.”
“I said it would never last, she said ‘I know.’ Well, she would …”
I think the Doctor and the Sibyl (whoa, both have ‘the’ in their names! Match made in heaven!) ‘dancing’ together is a very cute concept.
Personally I wanna be known as ‘one of the disciples of the blue box.’ ‘Whovian’ is easier to write, I suppose, but you get my drift.
"Well, that's alright, just us girls."
Eh? Wuh? *blinks*
"Let me see him. This one is different. He carries starlight in his wake."
Great descriptions of the Doctor this episode …
"Your knowledge is impossible."
"Oh but you can read my mind, you know it's not."
Ooooo … I love mind-reading bits …
Yay for Shadow Proclamation!
"TELL ME YOUR NAME!"
*ducks*
Donna Against Massive Death Toll:
"But that's what you do! You're the Doctor, you save people!"
"Not this time.
"Says who?"
"Says me."
"What, so you're in charge?"
"TARDIS, Timelord, yeah.”
"Donna, human, no!"
"Oh great, they can learn a new word … as they die!"
"Some things are fixed, some things are influxed,
"How do you know which is which?"
"Because that's how I see the universe. Every waking second I can see what is, what was, what could be, what must not. It's the burden of a Time Lord, Donna … and I'm the only one left."
*cries* Nooooo … the Master is NOT REALLY DEAD YOU FOOL! Only as long as RTD is in charge, which shan't be for very long, so I'm told … AND THE NEXT PERSON WILL BRING BACK THE MASTER BECAUSE THE NEXT LEADER WON'T BE AN IDIOT! THEN THE DOCTOR AND THE MASTER CAN HAVE MAKEUP SEX AND ALL WILL BE WELL! *huggles the Doctor until then*
"Is that what you can see, Doctor? All twenty-thousand? And you think that's alright."
That’s the one instance where I wanted Donna to stop it. The man blew up his OWN PLANET, I highly doubt he needs any more angst.
Lucius’ Entrance and the Prophesies:
It was pretty cool when the Doctor and Lucius went back and forth with the wisdom words. I love little cool bits like that.
"Oh yes, but don't mind me, I don't want to disturb the status quo!"
*aside* "He's Celtic!"
"Is that your opinion … as a Doctor?"
Ooooooooo …
"And you, you call yourself Noble …"
So we’ve got ‘the Bad Wolf’ and ‘the Doctor-in-training’ and now ‘Noble.’ Nice to have Companion nicknames …
"I reckon you've been out-soothsayed."
Hee, that sounds like something that would be said in an HP book …
"Your real name is hidden."
Erm, no it isn't! It's Theta Sigma … everyone who writes fanfic knows that!
"You are a lord. A lord … of time."
Ok, writers of this episode? Pat yourselves on the back. That line gave me chills …
Random Bits from the Family:
Ok, the TARDIS as modern art? Hilarious. Just sayin’ …
Hurrah for takeoffs on Mary Poppins!
Ok, you know in the movie when the canon goes off and every takes positions around breakable objects and the house shifts? That's what they did in this episode, but with earthquakes and steadying vases and busts and stuff … am I the only one who caught that?
“Don't tell my dad.”
*the Doctor scampers up a wall and through a window* “Only if you don't tell mine.”
I gave a little cheer when the Doctor pulled off Lucius' arm before he and Quint torch-and-soniced their way to freedom. Little Scooby-Do moments like that are nice.
“Then again,
“That's a restaurant in
Hee …
The Action Sequence:
Sadly they don’t run up and down corridors, as the traditionalist in me wants, but there is a bunch of running about with loud noises and impressive explosions. There's bits that they used in the S4 promos, which I liken to finding the cover-illustration inside a picture book.
"Then, the whole planet is at stake. Thank you, that's all I needed to know."
*giggles* We love you Doctor! *huggles him*
"If
God, as if the Doctor needed even more angst!
When Donna pushed the lever with the Doctor I wanted to cry. I pressed both my hands over my mouth and people around me inquired as to if I was 'ok.' I still don't know for sure.
"The sky is falling!"
"Death … only death!"
Good lord this is disturbing stuff!
Of course, the Doctor and Donna shoot out of the Volcano in a little capsule thing. Thank the gods. *sprinkles water*
Donna fruitlessly tries to tell people not to go to the beach, because later they'll all be suffocated by ash. They don’t listen, or maybe they can’t hear. Poor Donna.
When the family begged the Doctor to save them and the Doctor walked away and vanished into the TARDIS, I wanted to scream. That is the Doctor that Donna has to stop him from becoming.
"It's not fair."
"No, no it's not."
Is this show trying to kill us with angst?
Donna, in tears, whispers “But your own planet … it burnt!”
The Doctor gets this intense look on his face. “That's just it, don't you see, Donna? Can't you understand? If I could go back and save them I would, but I can't. I can never go back I can't, I just, can't …” the way his voice trails off is just awful.
Donna begs him to save just one person.
The TARDIS materializes in the atrium. The door creaks open, the Doctor hold out his hand and says "Come with me."
I slump in my chair in relief.
The Very Very End:
And, because they haven't done this in a while, the mother asks "But tell me, who are you, Doctor? With your words, and your temple containing such size within?"
"Oh, I was never here. Don't tell anyone."
Heh … poor Lonely God …
Six months later, everything's lovely for the family. Evaline is wearing a toga her dad thinks is too short to go out in public in, but he lets it slide; Quint's gonna be a doctor; and they've got a shrine to the Doctor, Donna, and the TARDIS in their atrium.
Next Week: Ood go berserk!

Date: 2008-04-15 11:42 pm (UTC)Wait.. how is this a first date? It's the third time we've seen Donna.. and they're far from being all date-y/couple-y (well, despite everyone thinking they're married, hehe)
I like Donna. Rose (though I love her) and Martha were all 'whatever you say Doctor, just tell me how high to jump and I will cause I love you and I want to have like 10,000 of your weird ass alien hybrid babies') but Donna's all 'the heck with what you say buddy, I have my own thoughts damn it'.. which is odd, because I feel like she's being written completely different than she was in the christmas movie. In the movie, she was very codependant on her fiance, and very girly girl.. so I hope this means that that experience helped her grow up and become a real person and not just a wannabe barbie doll.
I also like her logical approach to time travel. These are questions that have annoyed me too. And it's about high time we get answers other than 'wibbly wobbly timey wimy.. stuff' (although that is fun to say).
I completely 100% agree with you on philosophical theory. Ten needs a kick in the ass, and has been said, someone to stop him. He's dealing with a lot of tough issues (seriously, I've been through the whole losing the most important person and believing life sucks and we might as well just give up on humanity thing.. I just wonder where my ass kicking person is.. I certainly could use a Donna right about now.. ack, rambling..)
"his ‘dead’ lover"? You're slashing him in your mind again, aren't you?
I thought the latin-sounding-like-welsh was very intriguing. It boggles the mind. And the Barcelona reference made me miss Rose.
The eyes on the hands were creepy and cool at the same time. And I'm pretty sure Ev was healed from her stone arm status.
I totally didn't the "just us girls" line. I blame it on your corruptive influence and slashy overtones.. you've got a mind control machine hooked up to the writer's brains, don't you? ;P
Is the Doctor's name seriously Theta Sigma??
The Doctor is nothing without angst! heh. I was talking to a friend of mine this weekend and we agreed on a theory: Nine was GETTING angsty and he was like 'you know, I like this emo thing, in my next regeneration I'm gonna be emo all the bloody time'.. and thus Emo!Ten was born. :D
About the 'Come with me' line: I totally flashed back to the Terminator. Come with me if you want to live.
I loved that ending bit. With the short toga.. and the household gods.. it was just made of awesome!

Wait.. how is this a first date? It's the third time we've seen Donna.. and they're far from being all date-y/couple-y (well, despite everyone thinking they're married, hehe)
No, I mean, now she's oficially a Companion the Doctor takes her on a first-official-'date' or 'adventure' if you like. Donna's first TARDIS ride in Runaway Bride was a mistake and 'Partners in Crime' they ran around London. I don't view them as a couple at all!
I like Donna. Rose (though I love her) and Martha were all 'whatever you say Doctor, just tell me how high to jump and I will cause I love you and I want to have like 10,000 of your weird ass alien hybrid babies')
I concur! (Martha's badass-ness was sometimes eclipsed by her unrequited love for the Doctor. Poor dear.) I have high hopes for Donna.

I thought the latin-sounding-like-welsh was very intriguing. It boggles the mind. And the Barcelona reference made me miss Rose.
I agree on both accounts. I hope Rose got to see Barcelona ...
And I'm pretty sure Ev was healed from her stone arm status.

No, I just don't understand it! It made no sense to me! If the Doctor's a girl ... uh, that'd be strange ...
Is the Doctor's name seriously Theta Sigma??
It's debateable, but on the show one of his old teachers called him 'Theta Sigma' ... it's more canon than calling the Master 'Koschei' because that was only used in a semi-canon book ...

Date: 2008-04-16 10:26 pm (UTC)Well, some people don't think it's canon ... and seeing as it's a string of codes I'm not sure I'm completely behind it either ...
And how is it canon slash? What canon?
'Canon' as is 'real' ... like Jack/Ianto, that's a canon pairing because we see them snogging and such. 'Canon' means the writers intended it to be a pairing.
Well.. okay.. those 'I can see you now' phone calls were kinda stalkerish.. and the Master DID keep the Doctor as a pet.. um.. gah.. stop trying to make me slash them!!! *hides under the bed*
What is wrong with Doctor/Master? It's a perfectly lovely pairing! (Besides the things you listed, after the Master had kept him as said kinky pet and slaughtered MILLIONS, the Doctor FORGAVE HIM and was going to, in turn KEEP HIM ON THE TARDIS. Not canon, you say? We base MYLAR on less!)

And yes, I know what Canon is but the canon of Doctor/Master is highly debateable. But okay.. I can see how the Doctor wanting to keep the Master can be construed that way actually.. that was really kinky to be honest.. really creepy/kinky/wtf-y.
And gods.. we do base Mylar on less, don't we? *hangs head in shame*

"All we've got is each other!"
"Are you asking me out on a date?!"
THAT'S ACTUAL DIALOG!
And gods.. we do base Mylar on less, don't we? *hangs head in shame*
Mylar is like what the Doctor and the Master did in the early seasons, the Doctor would foil the Master's plan and the Master would never succeed in killing him. (Don't feel bad, just stare at your luverly icon and you'll feel better!)

Martha was what a Companion should do, that is, earn the title of 'Companion.' With Rose the Doctor so desperately needed somone, ANYONE, that he grabbed her hand and that was that. With Martha it took longer. Donna is going faster than Martha but just a bit slower than Rose, because the Doctor's been devastated AGAIN. This time, however, it wasn't the Time War, it was 'loosing' what he thought might be his salvation. Thankfully the Master's coming back someday, so we don't have to worry, but still ...

So much of what you said this time was just yes, yes, yes! Interesting thing about Donna is that in her insistence on the Doctor recognizing the people who are dying, she's extremely reminiscent of one of the very first companions, Barbara--the woman who is in fact responsible for the Doctor being who we've come to know him as. I just wrote an entry on that, in fact.
"If Pompeii is destroyed then it's not just history, it's me … I make it happen."
This interested me, because I've always been fascinated with the Doctor's effect on the history of the universe. He's always seen it as a fixed point in time, even though it apparently wasn't until he got there, and the sibyls even saw a completely different outcome which according to the Doctor was the original "right" one...but Pompeii is how it always happened for him. Interesting demonstration of the difference between the universe's time line and a Time Lord's. In a way, I suppose that means he can see his own future.
And Donna hitting that lever with him made me instantly fall in love with her. She's not a kid, like Rose or Martha. She's seen the hard parts of life. And there she is, eyes shining with tears, waving off thoughts of her own life like it's an incidental point and not even needing him to say anything before she's like, "I'm fine with sacrificing my own life to save the world." And she looks on all that destruction, 20,000 people dead, and it matters to her, but it doesn't devastate her like it might have Rose, or drive her away like it could have Martha, because she already understands how life can suck and be unfair.
Theta Sigma is a name that one of the Doctor's old classmates calls him, but really he uses it more like a nickname or a student ID number (and indeed it's just two letters of the Greek alphabet, so maybe it was initials, like calling someone J.D.). I've never believed it was his real name, to be honest.

Wow ... I think I saw a few of the very first episodes ... Barbara (and mostly Ian) annoyed me to no end ... I guess the Doctor needs another Barbara!
And Donna hitting that lever with him made me instantly fall in love with her. She's not a kid, like Rose or Martha.
I KNOW! I gasped out loud when I saw that. And, awesome and occasionally badass as they are, Rose and Martha are, deep down, kids. I hope that Donna keeps up the good work and becomes 'FANTASTIC.'
she's like, "I'm fine with sacrificing my own life to save the world."

She FLOORED me. I can't wait to see what she does during the rest of the season ... hopefully the Master won't kill her when he returns ...

Date: 2008-04-19 05:44 am (UTC)Without a name, the Doctor is limitless. We know he's the Doctor, so we understand what he's doing, but who he is? *shrug* We have only hints to go on. There's no tidy pigeonhole we can fit him into, no single lens through which the whole of him can be viewed at once to say, "This is who he is." "He's the Doctor," you say, and the response from someone who hasn't met him is, "What?" Whereas if you said, "He's Robert," another person would merely say, "Oh, I haven't met him." If he was "Theta Sigma AlphaKappaPhiRho," the response might be, "That's a funny name, but I can't say I know the gentleman."
Lack of a proper name doesn't just make him hard to pin down, though. It also implies that, perhaps, the Doctor is too big to be contained by a single name (bigger on the inside, we like to say 'round these parts). That the only thing that can be truly defined about him is what he does. After all, a creature who changes not only his face but his whole identity time after time, what point is there to such a being having a proper name at all? Because Third Doctor is not the same man as Sixth Doctor. Should they even share the same name?
But beyond such questions of personal identity, Neil Gaiman said once:
"In my head the Time Lords exist, and are unknowable - primal forces who cannot be named, only described: The Master, the Doctor, and so on. All depictions of the home of the Time Lords are, in my head, utterly non-canonical. The place in which they exist cannot be depicted because it is beyond imagining: a cold place that only exists in black and white."
That's how I see them, too. It's like labeling 'chaos' or 'beauty' or 'red'--ideas that can't really be expressed through a definition. We can only offer examples of what we mean. I never want the Doctor to have a name, to be honest. I never want him to be limited to Something. I want him to always be Nothing and Everything at once.
And the same goes for the Master. :)

Now I've got that damn Greek Letter song stuck in my head ...

Very true!
Because Third Doctor is not the same man as Sixth Doctor. Should they even share the same name?
Since I still don't know the old Doctors very well, I'll use my own comparison: he transition from Nine to Ten felt like a punch in the gut to me. They're just so ... 'different' isn't fitting enough of a word. Nine was post-Time-War Doctor, Ten is what happened because Rose led Nine away from the abyss. No wonder he's suddenly so chipper and ADHD, it's like everything's in COLOR again. Kinda like the new medication my dad's on. He's depressed, and the doctor finally found the right stuff, and now he's ... it's incredible. Nine-to-Ten is a pretty good comparison, really.
I never want the Doctor to have a name, to be honest. I never want him to be limited to Something. I want him to always be Nothing and Everything at once.
Well, if you put it like THAT how could anyone BEGIN to argue?
And the same goes for the Master. :)
