I wish I could read Jacob's review as a single tract. I see no way to "print" it. I don't like reading three paragraphs, wait to load, three paragraphs, wait to load, for 21 pages.

Wow, this episode broke me, even being spoiled like a bottle of milk left in a sauna for a week.

However, on the most mundane level, I swear someone or ones said that Jack gave Sarah Jane a roll in the hay. Was that cut by Skiffy, and, if so, where can I sign up to lodge an agism protest. Because the idea makes me awfully happy.

On a less mundane note, I think the Doctor might have wiped everything from Donna more because he wanted to leave her NOT being a part of any army. IOW, she won't be throwing herself into the next world threatening crisis (he hopes - I suspect she would).

Daniel, do what I do in these cases--open up a new Word doc, copy and paste each page of Jacob's post into it without reading, and then print the whole thing. I do it all the time, and it makes long multi-page docs a breeze to read.

Remember how she went running to see what was up in her standalone ep, when she saw the dead Doctor being taken away? All her friends were yelling at her to forget it, and she had to see. I know she'll get herself tied up in solving some major Earth crisis eventually, even without memories of her time with the Doctor.

I do that all the time, but 21 pages is quite the copy-paste-athon.

Erm, that was my happy little fantasy, based on his enthusiastic greeting, and the fact that it would be so, so right. But it was not in fact canon.

I just finished 4x13 and being spoiled may have made it lose some of its punch for me. I would have liked a little bit more time with Rose and her human Doctor.

I did like Donna pushing her way through to hug Jack.

Donna's "No, no, no" was devastating though. As was her Gramps' goodbye to the Doctor. I did get a few BBC clips of a preview though at the end, so that was cool.

This is why I stopped reading TWOP. I don't care how snarky or insightful the writing is because the formatting makes me want to break things.

Finally saw it, and my thoughts:

Oh, my goodness, I got very weepy when Wilfred said he'd look up for her.

I loved Jack and the idea of the three doctors. I also thought that it was very amusing that his function flying the Tardis was the very evocative push/pul motion.

She's got a Doctor, be happy! He's got all the same damn memories, he's the same man, minus one heart. And guess what, he'll say he loves you! Be happy! Yeesh.

eh, I'm kind of with her. I would think that the new Doctor wouldn't want to be with her, since she would always see him as second best.

I want Jenny to show up and Donna to go into crisis, and remember everything. Once she gets cured, she gets to tear the Doctor a new one.

if she doesnt remember the Doctor, how can she remember Jenny? Although I guess Jenny might talk to her and jog her memory.

And the Doctor says "Doesn't need saying.", right? As opposed to the waffling "Does it need saying?"

I hear it as "Does it need saying?", but I say keep thinking of it your way. I remember in "I Will Remember You", I heard Buffy's line as "I heard your heart beat", as opposed to "I heard your heartbeat" I liked the former much better. Subtle, but made a difference to me.

I wonder if, by not killing Donna outright, they are leaving an open door for a possible return?

always. There have been flimsier retcons.

Erm, that was my happy little fantasy, based on his enthusiastic greeting, and the fact that it would be so, so right. But it was not in fact canon.

but not surprising though. It's actually a little problem I have with Captain Jack. He's supposed to be omni/bisexual, but he only shows overt attraction to men (Gwen notwithstanding). This, of course, could be my bitterness/wishful thinking.

oh, I definitely hear the brogue, in "universe" and it "blood and anger and revenge" and "when we first met"
