Seska, completely agree on "as well as everything that came out of Matt Smith's mouth. That man has completely won me over and I will never doubt the DW team's casting skills again." I love him SO MUCH. I pretty much come to this conclusion over and over again with every single episode. With this one, it was at "They call me the Doctor. I don't know why. I call me the Doctor too. Still don't know why."

Excited for the finale!!

I liked a lot of lines this week (UK Who).

One:

“Hello, I'm Captain Troy Handsome of International Rescue. Please state the nature of your emergency.”

Daniel, that was my favorite line...perhaps of the whole series.

Yes! Matt Smith was fantastic as a pretend human. Although I did wonder why he didn't call himself "John Smith" in this one. .

Also, does he only headbutt the mind-meld when he's in a hurry? Just as well, because I'm not sure Madame de Pompadour would have liked it .

Interesting side note: Matt Smith was training to be a professional football player until he was injured and decided to try acting instead. It certainly showed.

Fiona, I kind of figured that was half of the reason we got that football scene.

Ha, I didn't know that, Fiona. Heh. And I also wondered why he didn't call himself John Smith.

Oddly enough, when Amy brought up the bowtie, and the Doctor repeated his "Bowties are cool" catchphrase, I thought that I liked it much more than "Geronimo!!!" which didn't actually seem to fit him very well. And then he apparently mind-melded THAT catchphrase into Craig.

Perhaps it will have entirely moved into Craig and that will be the last we hear of it.

Loved the Van Gogh post card on the fridge.

DW UK: ♥

Dana: That, and the timing - it being shown an hour before the first England World Cup match!

Seska: Yes, of course. That one I knew right away. *g*
