The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If people are going to be around, yep.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Sadly, I won't. I'm taking the cranky Canuck out for his b-day. Have fun, y'all.

Do we want to maybe say Tuesday at 7:00?

Because books.
Aw, I'm all ready for tonight! But if we need to change it, we should.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can do tonight, too. But I'm also amenable to change. So helpful. Y'all decide. I'll just be catching Blood Ties otherwise, and it's a repeat and I can always let the dvr get it.

Let's leave it tonight then. Knowing Cass and me, she'll talk me into watching it with her on AIM later anyway, and maybe J. and Aillean can join us.

Doctor Who 3x09
Kate & Jen:
Not that Martha knew he did it, but ouch
My impression is that Martha did know the Doctor was going to ask Joan. When he comes back to TARDIS, Martha asks, with a concerned face, "how is she?" and the Doctor answers, "time we moved on." To which Martha offers, "if you wish, *I* could...", with the implication that she'd go ask Joan to come herself. At least that's what I thought. Poor Martha. Talk about overcompensating like crazy. But I freakin' LOVED the hug afterward. Aw!
Aside from Tim's speech about the Doctor, my favourite part of the episode was probably the last scene between Joan and the Doctor. Jessica Hynes was just amazing. The tiny look of bitterness when she asked, "if the Doctor had never chosen this place, on a whim, would anybody here have died?" -- wow. That question of accountability pretty much made the episode for me.
And I loved the fairy tale punishments for their harshness; they were like dark enchantments, terrible and haunting, and went a long way to change my mind about Ten being a relative lightweight in comparison to Nine. But I understand a lot of people thought the Doctor went way too dark here and his acts of vengeance made them lose all sympathy with him. Hmmmm.
I've rewatched the episode a couple of times today and it holds up beautifully. Can we make Paul Cornell a co head-writer with Steve Moffat whenever it is Davies steps off as the lead writer of the show?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who 2005 3x09: I admit I kinda rolled my eyes when Tim described the Doctor pretty much like Galadriel with the One Ring, but then he pretty much went and lived right up to it. The idea that the choice to hide in England was the merciful choice, that it was the only way he could stop himself from consigning the family to eternal torture, and that apparently although the cost in lives was regretful, it didn't seem that he'd have tried it any different way... that's what chilled me.
