Crap, just mainlined the final 4 episodes of Doctor Who.

All tearful now.

Jesus. POOR Donna.

Loved having the whole 'gang's all here' thing, really did - oh, and bless Ianto and Gwen. (And yay for the shout out to Eve Myles' role in the Dickens episode! God, I so love that they did that in the finale of DW, and that they did the same thing in the TW finale for Naoko Mori's DW role in the Space Pig episode.)

Aw, wee Ianto just killed me with the look on his wee face when Jack was all 'I'm off to find the Doctor!' BLESS!

I think they did a great job of wrapping things up, actually. Glad to have the Rose storyline done and dusted, and all the Doctor/Rose shippers hopefully satisfied, and so whoever the next companion is should be a fresh start.

(Oh, God. Oh, poor Donna. I really, REALLY liked Donna. Catherine Tate did such a good job. She broke my bloody heart in those last few episodes.)

...aaaaand I'm crying again. God.

Anyway, yeah - such fun having old favourites returning - The Master last season, Davros this season. Fabulous, that.

Lots of stuff with cloning this season, wasn't there? And I do appreciate a nice bit of foreshadowing - bless them for throwing those things into the mix.

I don't think I can really express how very much I didn't like the giant cockroach monster on Donna's back. And I think it was worse invisible than visible. Ack. Really REALLY creepy, that.

Bernard Cribbins - bless him, he too kept breaking my heart. Go Team Wilf. ...OMG - I've just realised that Bernard Cribbins was in the 1966 movie Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150!!! He was the main companion! Holy crap! How ON EARTH had I forgotten that?

Eureka: Derek was Marco!??!! (from the 4400). No wonder he looked familiar.

Rewatched "What About Bob the Nob", and, damn, but Carter really was staring long and lovingly at Henry. To the point where it went straight passed "Great Platonic Guy Love" to "Oh, so that's why Callie isn't around anymore."

And so, after all that, I was severely pissed that they didn't hug at the end (even without the hoyay! I still wanted a hug for Carter, after all the angsting he's been doing over not only Henry, but Allison). Just a silly little shove. Carter's so repressed.

That, and Iroh's segment in "Tales of Ba Sing Se."

I can't watch this again. Just can't. Left the room.

Just watched "The Earth King." Am very concerned about Suki. We also watched The Serpent's Pass again with commentary on - funny to hear the writer hoping that this time Suki and Sokka would kiss (the first time).

Eureka: Derek was Marco!??!! (from the 4400).

THANK YOU!! i spent the whole episode trying to figure out who he was.

funny, I'm watching the very first DW episode, and so far it's being told through the eyes of a third party about a second party (the teachers of the grand-daughter of the Doctor). Interesting how the method of bringing a viewer into a show have changed. I would think that this show was about the girl.

Oh, yeah. The whole dynamic of the first season is very different from what we're used to with new Who. If you've got the DVDs you have to listen to all the commentaries available. They give great background on what was going on when they were developing the show.

Wow. they put out commentaries for the original series? Very cool.

Eureka:

The people watching the show sound like us.

They so did. Almost like being at a W&P.

Because it's about 6 years too early? The first atomic bomb wasn't exploded until June of 1945.

I'm glad you explained this. I was trying to figure out the significance too. The date didn't get me because I figured Eureka had probably done nuclear testing before anything official. ION, I'm kinda bummed about the off screen museum closing. Can you imagine a Eureka museum? Or did that get re-opened when other things like not paying for food at Cafe Diem were back in balance?

Eureka: Derek was Marco!??!! (from the 4400). No wonder he looked familiar.

Oh holy hell! That drove me nuts trying to figure out why he was so familiar. So I guess Clark Kent was right that the glasses really are enough of a disguise.

Who:

We just started S2 of DW tonight. I don't like Tennant as the Doctor so far. I hope I get used to him soon.

This was me a few weeks ago. Now he's "my doctor".

"Just this once, everybody lives!!"

Destroyed me. There were random moments of tears for the next few hours.

I love the Who love around here, reading all y'all's comments about it as you watch.

And about Eureka, I think the blue goo Mme. Axewoman (yeah, I'm sure at some point I'll actually pay attention to her name) was looking at in the season opener is related somehow to the purple atomic detonation. Is it possible the implication is, Eureka is such a special place in part because of the purple fallout, and maybe she's got some condition that was a result of being too near ground zero at some point after that detonation, or maybe a parent was too near, or something? And she's really come to Eureka to find a cure?

Whew. I feel like that was a marathon Willow-style ramble.
