this is one of my favourite episodes, even if the portrayal of Madame de Pompadour makes me slightly angry [the real Madame de Pompadour was not a nice person]. it was funny and i thought, scarier than the Empty Child/the Doctor Dances [the part where the robot smacks the Doctor from underneath the bed? Gets me EVERY TIME and their masks are so creepy and ugh]
The love story was a bit strange [it was years and years for her, but only a few hours for him, or a few days at most, right? although, he did seem to have a lot of prior knowledge about her life, so maybe he already had a lot of respect for her] but...it's Moffat, he needs love stories everywhere, and I forgive him. <3
best quotes:
The Doctor: Must be a spatio-temporal hyperlink. Mickey: What's that? The Doctor: No idea, I just made it up. Didn't want to say "Magic Door"
The Doctor: Have you met the French? My God they know how to party! Rose: Oh look at what the cat dragged in, the oncoming storm. The Doctor: You sound just like your mother. Rose: What have you been doing? Where have you been? The Doctor: Well, among other things, I /think/ I may have just invented the banana daiquiri a few centuries early. Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good.
The Doctor: It's you! You're my favourite! You are the best, you know why? Cause you're so thick! You're mister thick thickity thick face from thicktown thickannia. And so is your dad!
King Louis: What the hell is going on? Reinette: Oh. This is my lover, the king of France. The Doctor: Yeah? Well I'm the Lord of Time.
Mickey: So that Doctor, eh? Rose: I don't know what you're talking about. Mickey: Well, Madame de Pompadour, Sarah Jane Smith, Cleopatra. Rose: Oh, Cleopatra! He mentioned her once. Mickey: Yeah, but he called her Cleo.

One quote I have to add, though:
Mickey: What's a horse doing on a space ship?
The Doctor: Mickey, what's pre-Revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Have some perspective.
