aunt_zeldaWow, I just finished Kill Bill V2 this morning ...
Those are probably my favorite movies of all time. Right up there with 'Little Miss Sunshine' and 'Love Actually' and 'Shakespeare in Love.'
Yes, I am VERY strange.
Yes, that fights were gory and bloody, but it was FUNNY in some bits. Really, nobody shoots blood out like that. And I loved how it broke into anime at one point, and then sillohettes at another point. And SWORDS SWORDS SWORDS oh my god SWORDS.
Oh, wait, you guys are here for DW ... sorry ...
Ok, just so we're clear? I am a flashback whore, and the 20s were awesome, so this episode was FANTASTIC in my book, and anyone who wants to argue and do so in long comments.
"Just a hint of mint, must be the 1920s."
"You can tell what year it is just by smelling?"
"Oh yeah." Chirps the Doctor.
"Or maybe," Donna points out. "That big vintage car coming up the drive gave it away."
*sporfles* I <3 Donna, and her entire additude towards time-travel, Time Lords, and the Doctor.
Ah, the 20s! Depression in America, but fun and flappers and flight-goggles-for-car-rides! *dances about*
"Never mind Planet Zog! Party in the 1920s, that's more like it!" Donna practically fangirl-squees from behind the shrubbery, voiceing my opinion of the whole shebang.
"Trouble is," the Doctor deadpans. "We haven't been invited ... oh wait," he waggles his psychic paper about. "I forgot, we have!" he and Donna grin like maniacs and skitter away.
A man discovers an amazing (unrevelaed to us) secret in the Library. Someone he knows shows up (we can't see them), turns into a gigantic bee, and kills theman with a lead pipe.
...
...
...
Ok, uh, what kind of drugs are these people on, and WHERE CAN I FIND SOME?!
After the bouncy credits, the Doctor raps on the TARDIS door, saying they'll be late for cocktails. *sporfles* Donna emerges, clad in this awesome brown flapper dress. I think she looks better in navy-blue, but that's just me ... and it reminds me of how Rose dressed up for Dickens-era Cardiff.
"What do ya think?" Donna asks in a semi-sultry voice. "Flapper, or slapper?"
The Doctor's eyebrows leap light-years, then he smiles and says Donna looks lovely. He offers her his arm, she accepts, and they go off, Donna giving her bag a bit of a twirl. (Is it bigger on the inside, like Hermione's TARDIS-handbag?)
RECORD PLAYER! YAAAAY! *such a geek*
"But ... who exactly are you and what are you doing here?" *sporfles*
The poor Doctor has to remind Donna not to speak Celtic to the Romans, but I understand her in this instance because really, it's still ENGLISH, it's just that funny kind of English with the ridiculous-sounding words. I think it's referred to as 'posh' but I thought that was a Spice Girl, and that shows you how incompetent I am in this environment ...
Apparently 'the Unicorn' is a jewel-thief (YAY!) and just snatched some lady's pearls from 'right under her nose.'
"Funny place to wear pearls ..." Donna mutters. I snort.
The Lady's hubby (wheelchair-ridden) and very-handsome-son show up. The son semi-flirts with Donna, who enjoys herself with that, but when an equally-cute waiter shows up with the son's drink and the son lingers his sights on the waiter for rather too long for that-day-and-age, I being to suspect the son is playing for my father's team.
Which is a correct assumption, seeing as Donna notices the waiter and the son gazing some more and says "Typical," she snorts. "All the decent men are on the other bus."
"Or Time Lords ..." the Doctor mutters, sending my fangirl self squeeing into oblivion. And I was under the impression that the Doctor was on BOTH 'busses' as it were ... *laps up the Master-reference for this episode and thanks the gods of slash*
This bout of slashy-goodness is cut short by the arrival of one Agatha Christie, whom the Doctor is overjoyed at meeting and, it turns out, has only read ONE of her books. But he's still overjoyed at meeting her. She says he and Donna make an odd couple, they do the song-and-dance-routine of "we're not married!" and she smiles and says obviously not, they haven't got any wedding rings. I love this woman already.
Apparently (I didn't know this, because I've only just started getting vaguely interested in mystery stories and detective shows) Agatha Christie disapeared on the very day the Doctor and Donna have met her. Dun dun DAAAA!
The Doctor recaps for idiots like me: Agatha Christie found out her husband was having an affair, tomorrow morning her car (a spiffy blue one) will be found by a lake, she'll show up 10 days later claiming memory loss, it's all very cool and mysterious ...
Murder! Murder in thebathroom library!
Donna is a little bemused by the 'Professor Peach in the Library with the lead pipe' forgetting that it's the murderer who is named, the body is only ever called 'Mr. Body' ... but yes, the whole thing is very ala Clue ...
At the mention of 'police' the Doctor flashes his psychic paper, claiming to be 'Inspector Smith' from Scotland Yard and that Donna is the 'plucky young girl who helps me out.' Donna raises her eyebrows at this but keeps quiet until everyone's cleared out awaiting questioning.
The Doctor's excuse is that there are no policewomen in 1920. Donna says she'll 'pluck' him in a minute. *sporfles* I'd pay to see ... whatever she means by that ...
One of the guests is an alien in human form. I think it's the Butler! I mean, the gay waiter ... or MAYBE it was Ms. Christie herself who murdered the Professor! Maybe her husband was having an affair with Professor Peach!
"I mean that's like meetin' Charles Dickens, surrounded by ghosts, at Christmas!" Oh Donna, don't ... *sporfles*
Being American, I completely miss the 'Noddy' reference. Who's Noddy? WHAT is Noddy? Should I be scared or lol?
Donna chatters away, wondering if it's going to be like 'Murder on the Orient Express' where EVERYONE did it. Agatha Christie hears that bit and the Doctor reminds Donna it hasn't been created YET (much like when Martha mentions witches to pre-Macbeth Shakespeare.) Hee hee ...
The Doctor asks Donna to hunt for more residue in the bedrooms and whips out a huge magnifying glass. "Is that for real?" Donna asks incredulously.
"Come on ..." the Doctor urges. "You're ever so plucky!"
Donna snorts, takes the magnifying glasss, and heads off up the stairs. Silly Doctor, don't you know that monster-movie rules apply to murder-mysteries?! NEVER go off alone! NEVER forsake the spunky sidekick for the hot chick!
"Well then, solving a murder mystery with Agatha Christie: brilliant!" the Doctor exclaims grinning insanely.
"How like a man to have fun when there's disaster all around him." Agatha Christie snips.
The Doctor's grin falters and he admits his blunder, kinda.
"I'll help you, but for the sake of justice, not your own amusment." Agatha Christie snaps, going off.
I think the Doctor's found another Master this season. Good lord, TWO already, and John Simm isn't even onscreen!
The questioning begins. Everyone has a flashback. The Reverend was 'alone' and unpacking but 'one is never alone with the Lord.' The son was striding about the grounds, hand-in-hand with the handsome waiter, like two characters from a romance novel (sadly they do not passionately make-out, for this is not Torchwood *sigh*) Glam Girl (whose clothing I want) claims she went to the bathoom and then was preparing to meet people, but in reality she was loading one of thse guns people play Russian Roulette with. The Colonal claims he was reading in his study, but he was looking at the 1920s equivalent of porn, and has a flashback within a flashback of riske dances from his time in the war, the Doctor tells him to snap out of it, he does, and says he was reading his his study, and we see that flashback again, and the Doctor says "no, RIGHT out of it." *sporfles* That was funny. It's also funny when the Lady says she was taking her afternoon tea and she was really chugging some gin (or some kind of spirits from a flash) tee hee.
Apparently the Doctor went to Belgiumyeek! You can't say THAT on a kid's show! once to find Charlemage (that king guy who hated Vikings) who'd been kidnapped by an insane computer, which makes no sense WHATSOEVER but I'll let it slide because we get some shots ofthe Doctor wandering through the woods with the bow and arrows from the end of 'Blink' ...
The Doctor and Agatha Christie banter about him seeing the reflection of her taking the paper out of the fireplace. She says 'you crafty man' and the Doctor does this half-smirk thing that makes me think HE thinks he's gonna shag another famous woman in an episode made of WIN.
There's only one word left on the paer 'maiden.' "MAIDEN!" the Doctor exclaims, then asks in an undertone, "What does that mean?"
GIANT WASP! FLEE IN TERROR! *does so*
Donna stuns it momentatily, concentrating the sun with the magnifying glass and screeching for the Doctor. The Wasp leaves behind its stinger, which should mean it's dead, but since it's a giant SPACE BEE I'll let that slide.
The Doctor bables about there being no giant insects in this galactic sector, and Agtha Christie says she thinks she understood SOME of those words and declares the Doctor to be insane. "Can we return to sanity please?" she asks. Darling, this is DOCTOR WHO we're talking about!
Donna comments that this time THEY'RE chasing the monster. Agatha Christie, like Mr. Dickens, suggests it's mirrors. The houskeeper is killed by a falling gargoyle. Now, that's just MEAN, gargoyles don't need any more bad press! I love those things! My mother's kept a tiny one in the garden ever since I can reemmber!
Anyhoodle, the Doctor, Donna, and AC chase the wasp, the Doctor attempts communication, it flees, the Doctor wants it to return to human form, he roars taht there's nowhere left to run and it should show itself, the hallway is suddenly full of open doors with the suspects (+ the cute waiter peeking out of the son's room: ooo lah!) "Oh, now that's not fair! That's cheating!" the Doctor whines.
The Doctor asks if the housekeeper's last words 'the poor little child' mean anything to anybody. The father grumbles that it seems unlikey there will be any children about any time soon, shooting a disaproving look at his son and his son's lover.
Donna consoles AC, dropping the 'talking pictures' bomb. Then she talks about how she was engaged once and how he was an idiot and she moved on. AC is annoyed that her husband was with a younger, prettier woman. Donna says hers was with a giant spider.
The Unicorn's toolkit is discovered, Donna drops the 'Miss Marple' bomb, the Butler brings drinks and glares at the Doctor, the Doctor is posioned! He races about and drinks all these ridiculous things in the kitchen whilst flailing about, miming 'salt' and it takes Donna forever to get him some and actual salt is too salty and ... bahahahahhahhahhaaha ... the Doctor should know better than to mime things since Jackie Tyler and Christmas ...
He needs a shock, Donna snogs the HELL out of him. WHOA! *leaps back from the screen*
Then the Doctor cough out a big gray cloud. He says he should do that more often, then clarifies that he means the de-toxin, not the Donna-kissing.
AC pronounces him impossible. He does that clicky wink thing and races off, hair very wet. AC demands to know who he is, but the lightning storm and falling of night cuts her off.
The Doctor laced the soup with pepper, to smoke the Wasp out. The windows fly open, the lights go out, a giant Wasp is revealed, it's not clear who it is, but the Doctor grabs a sword for no apparent reason. When the lights come back on the Lady's necklace is gone and the gay son is dead, knife in back, face in soup. GODDAMNIT! NEVER kill the gay guy!
AC says she's "just a pervayor of nonsense." Oh do get some self confidence dear. You're amazing! You could be badass!
The Doctor makes this fantastic little speach about how AC knows about PEOPLE and what drives them to do stuff.
Then the awesome gathering-bit, where everyone's in the same room and the detective/person-who-puts-the-puzzle-together, in this case, AC, weaves everything up. The Doctor settles down next to Donna and rests his head on his hand, a total fanboy.
"Oh, I know this one. If she was really posh she would have said 'loo!'" Donna fangirls in the corner.
Turns out Glam Girl is not who they thought at all, she's a Closeted Cockney! (Ok, fine, she's the Unicorn, which is SO COOL!) She tosses the necklace back and says she's a theif, but no killer.
Donna eats something in the background that I suspect is the posh equivalent of popcorn.
Turns out the Colonel can walk! He was just in the chair so his wife would stick around, he was afraid she'd leave him for a hot younger man! AC didn't know that at all, she was about to declare the Colonel completely innocent. (Except for the naughty pics, but that's ok. I read slash, everyone's got their little quirks.)
Turns out Lady Eddison's 'malaria' was a pregnancy. She got pregnant via an alien wasp man in India, and it was he who gave her the jewel. She thought he died in a flood. She gave the baby away. Prof. Peach found the birth cirtificate and 'maiden' is 'maiden name' ... ooooo, the plot THICKENS!
Turns out, the Reverand is 40 years old, and Lady Eddison's son! He was raised in an orphanage and never felt true anger until those boys were stealing from the Chruch, then he turned into his own Waspy self. The Firestone isn't just a sparkly prop, it's a device that contained all the knowledge for Giant Wasp People. And because Lady Eddison was reading AC books, the jewel absorbed them, so now the Rev. thinks that's what the world is like, an AC novel.
"Well, this has certainly been an entertaining evening." Rev. says, and finally, most of the clips from the S4 promo have gotten out of the way. Sontarans, Ood, priestesses, a bunch of the explosions, the kiss, AC's line about 'the chase, never the capture,' the Martha clone, 'the spark of life,' and now this!
"That night, the universe exploded in my head!" ooooo ... nice line, right there ...
Rev Wasps-out and prepares to kill 'em all. AC declares that if her imagination made him kill, her imagination will stop him. She tears off. The Doctor and Donna follow her. Rev Wasp follows THEM.
"Right, now it's chasing us!" Donna exclaims. Tee hee ...
Agatha stops by the lake, Donna tosses the necklace into the lake, the Wasp goes after it, the Doctor is sad because the Wasp couldn't help itself, AC is depressed. She starts the whole 'Who exactly are you, Doctor?' but then collapses. Because the vessel is connected to her, and it's dying, she could die, but the Wasp lets her go. Awww? Awwww.
The Doctor explains the amnesia thing, how AC won't remember the wasps and junk. Donna is upset that AC will forget them, too, but the Doctor is enheartened that they've solved another riddle. They drop AC off where she's supposed to be, ten days later.
Apparently the Doctor keeps dangerous odds and ends in a steamer trunch under the TARDIS console, the Caronite sphere and the Cyberman seal ... and an AC book published in the year 5 billion. Tee hee.
"Onwards?" the Doctor asks.
Donna grins. "Onwards."
Next week: Library! Empty! Yeek!
Those are probably my favorite movies of all time. Right up there with 'Little Miss Sunshine' and 'Love Actually' and 'Shakespeare in Love.'

Just click on the tag 'what aunt_zelda thinks' and you'll find a bunch of them, as well as my handy-dandy listie I posted a while back.
I did that, I really did. I twitched, and fell off my sofa, too.... whoops...
