Doctor Who - The End of Time

[debitha]

I have pinched spiderine's 'Thinkies' format, sans drinking game. (It's the meds, you see. I just can't drink the way I used to.) For those not familiar, that's a running commentary tidied up but not changed from as I was watching it. Basically, my thought process, let me show you it.


1. Time Lords – Yay, except for completely bonkers guy. 'Splodey glove? Really? What is it with the gloves?

2. They imbedded themselves in The Master, didn’t they.

3. Tied up Doctor! FTW

4. "Gor bless the cactuses." "Cacti." Ahahahaha!

5. If everyone’s the Master, who’s in charge? He never struck as the type to follow order, even his own.

6. Come on Donna!

7. Worst. Rescue. Ever. Hahahahaha.

8. Yes, they did. Selfish cock.

9. Yeah yeah, whose side are you on Lady? He has to kill The Master. Wilf had to bring the gun so the Doctor can kill the Master. Ho shit.

10. Aww, they’re having a father/son moment. That’s lovely.

11. Poor Wilf, he’s not exactly of the Wii generation, is he?

12. Weeping Angels, what?!

13. Dunno why The Master's so happy. They don’t actually like him, do they?

14. Do the words 'terminal velocity' mean anything to you? That seems lke a particularly poorly thought out plan.

15. How did that work then, with the glove just stopping the gate?

16. Ooooo, a new planet's gonna play hell with gravity.

17. Yes dear. He is actually crazier than you are.

18 OK. Lady in White was one of the dissenters. But who the hell is she?

19. Oh, Master. You poor broken little boy.

20. That’s still got to have fucked with gravity though. Weather should be going to hell.

21. Yes you’re alive, but I think you’re going to have to save Donna.

22. That was 4 knocks Wilf. WTF?

23. Oh, it’s going to explode, and take Wilf with it unless you go in instead.

24. They had to make it hurt, didn’t they. Poor woobie.

25. He never gets on with their Mums does he?

26. MARTHAAAAA!!!!!!! Mickey? WOT?

27. He’s saying goodbye, isn’t he?

28. Jack! THE FATS!!!! What’s with Alonso? I don’t think I approve. "Here Jack, it's OK. Have a new boyfriend." I don’t think I approve. (ETA: Aparently Alsonso is from the Kylie/Titanic Christmas Special.)

29. Wilf just twigged to it.

30. Rose and Jackie? 2005, of course.

31. OK, I get not wanting to die, but do you really need to wreck the place when you go? She deserved better than that.


ETA. Matt Smith looks like he could be fun. ETA2. Following Doctor Who Confidential there was spoilers for the new series. It looks good.

But. Yeah. I cried. I'll miss you, Ten.

Okay dokie.

Congrats, your commentary alone has just made me want to watch it, although I hear I should be prepared for.. some interesting writing.

Nine has always been my Doc, and I haven't seen much of Ten, but *hugs* End of an era with Ten :(

[debitha.livejournal.com]

Ten was fantastic, even through the... interesting writing. (RTD, I'm looking at you.)

On the whole I thought it was a good episode, there were just some major WTF moments, but it's Doctor Who, so you sort of expect those. :oD

I'm still trying to work out where Tom went, but I don't think we'll get the answers. *pouts* It can't be about actor availability--just do what they did in COE.

I'll be interested to see what Moffat does actually. Reports I've heard say good things :D

When do you guys get DW?

[debitha.livejournal.com]

There was no information about where Tom went. Although I may have a plot bunny. Which I may be able to work into Johnson's Torchwood. I have other things I need to write first, but I'm going to let it rock tumble for a bit.

The next series slated for 'Spring'. Beyond that I'm not sure.

I tried not to cry, but lost it at Rose. Should have waited to watch with friends. RLBF is sweet, but has no idea what to do with a sobbing girl when he doesn't understand why.

(Confidential still downloading)

I don't think there was a specific thing that made me cry, it was more that I liked Ten and he was going away and not coming back.

Poor RLBF. That must have been quite confusing for him!

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

He was especially confused when I was still crying for Ten but started to laugh at Eleven with the whole hair thing.

Heh, I have sudden visions of the scene somewhere in Harry Potter where Hermione is trying to explain Cho Chang to Harry, and he says something like, "But a person can't feel all that at one time, they'd explode!"
