Man, this two-parter f'n *rocked.* I am so impressed with David Tennant.
I don't really have anything to say because I'm still kind of processing, but that speech the kid made about what the Doctor is was fantastic, not to mention John Smith calling the Doctor "some kind of lost prince," which is also a lovely description. I also loved that, in seeing the what-might-have-been for John Smith and the matron, we also got a glimpse of what it must be like to *be* the doctor, seeing a thousand different possibilities in the space of a moment.
Just brilliant. Right up there with Empty Child/Doctor Dances.
Of course, now we're more than halfway through the series. Woe!
On Dresden--jesus, could they just tell us already?! That's what's driving me crazy the most.
Who is going to be around for a watch and post for SPN 2x3 tonight at 7:00. I know Cass won't be here-- do we want to push it to another night at 7:00?
tonight should work for me.
I might be around. Depends on how zonked I am come W&P time
Hex: Since last summer I've seen the evil-priest actor as Much the Miller's son on the new Robin Hood. It was amusing to watch him being the evil priest again last night.
And what the heck? BBCA ran the two episodes that came after what they used as the season finale as "extra episodes" - rather than the next episodes. Very weird.
Doctor Who
3x09:
Holy crap, what an amazing episode. Jesus, David Tennant,
break my fucking heart already with all John Smith's questioning about the Doctor and why he should give up his life to become this mad, unknowable, terrifying, lonely man.
I think my favorite moment was
during Tim's speech about the Doctor being like fire and ice and rage, and then he finishes with "...and he's wonderful," and we see the slow smile that spreads across Martha's face. Oh, and Martha, you rocked so hard in this episode, from "Jesus, you're rubbish as a human!" to reeling off the names of the bones of the hand to "I hope to God he doesn't remember me saying this." I loved her just doing the best she could at every turn, never knowing for sure what she should do but doing it anyway.
JenP said
"I have to stay, I was heartily stung on Martha's behalf when he asked Joan to go away with him and be his companion. I mean, not that Martha knows he did it, but ouch." and I felt the same way. One thing I think this show does really well is to show the Doctor having meaningful relationships with many different people, not just the companion of the moment, so you're always aware that while he is The Doctor, one and only, to each of them, he can't ever feel the same way about them. And so while I liked Joan a great deal and understand why the Doctor wanted her to come with him, I also know how Martha feels about him and how hurt she would have been if Joan had accepted.
just finished LoM. such a fabulous show. i really wish there was more. now to go back and read everyone's thoughts.
I asked this a while ago upthread, but would someone mind contacting me (profile addy is good) with more info on LoM and how I might be able to see it?
