They made things canon!!!!
- There are to be multiple pilots on the TARDIS!
- Mr. Smith's start-up music is his own pompous fanfare, not an effect from the show's soundtrack.
- Gwen Cooper is from an old Cardiff family!
- Luke is 14 (or...his cover is that he is).
- That half-human crap from the '96 movie is NOT CANON--w00t!
- That Nine was indeed regenerated/born out of the blood and death and rage of the Time War--that Nine was the regeneration that followed whatever that last act of the Time War. Though I also like that Nine could have regenerated slightly before and then BEEN the one to push the final button, but I think the dialogue more supports that the end of the Time War triggered the regeneration into Nine.
Things I loved:
- Everyone got to meet!
- All the companions hugged all the others!
- Martha and Rose thought each other were cool.
- Jack's HUGE respect for Sarah Jane...and him thinking (rightly so) that she's hot.
- Davros remembered Sarah and she faced him down.
- Sarah got to see Rose again!
- Daleks ranting and threatening IN GERMAN!!! Hee!!!
- Wilf's exchange at the end with the Doctor. Totally sold that for me, and honoring both OUR Donna and the Doctor each night as his tribute...gorgeous.
- Dalek Caan being the destructor of the Daleks.
- Tosh perfecting a Time Lock.
- Jack getting himself shot so he'd be "dead" and free to wander the ship.
- The montage of the fallen companions and almost-companions, Davros accusing him of turning his companions into weapons, but really they are defenders as much as he is.
Things I wish/hope:
- That someone had explained to Rose that SHE made Jack immortal
- I wish that Jack had, on first suggestion, enthusiastically hugged Donna. I wish that Donna, even though she's not skinny/tiny/young, was treated as the Hot and Sexy Woman she is
- That the SHOW realized that the "Bad Wolf" is not Rose, but rather the TARDIS.
- That Ten weren't so sanctimonious about, "He committed genocide!" Um...honey? So did you. It just didn't stick. You didn't commit it any less.
- I wanted Rose to reply to Martha's, "He found you," with "No. I found him."
I'm sure there will be plenty of more things...and there are SO MANY from "Turn Left" and "Stolen Earth" but I'm just SUCH a HAPPY little fan. I love my show.
ETA: Maybe I should have waited till AFTER the mead to make the Filled With Love post. *grin*
