The Fires of Pompeii

Apr 13, 2008 14:24

I fell asleep last night before DW showed up online! O_o

"You fought her off with a water pistol? I bloody love you!"
ROTFLMAO!!!

I have to say - Doctor and Donna are brilliant together!
She so has the potential to become the coolest companion in the new series!

Loved her geek out when she realized she's speaking Latin.
"You have to ask difficult questions, don't you?" Mwah!
And her attempt to speak Latin and nobody understanding her! LOL
Loved how she wanted to warn people, and being stubborn. Though I agree with him on this, about not being able to interfere with things that happened in history.
But what I loved the most was when they were making the decision between 20.000 people of Pompeii or the world, and she put her hands on top of his and they both made that call. Brilliant, heart breaking, scene!
She is also a great influence, how she got him to save that family. I'm glad he realized he needs someone. "Welcome aboard" indeed!
Now give the girl her TARDIS key. :D She earned it!

Doctor was cool in this episode.
His face when he found out that guy sold the TARDIS. Ha ha, bless!
Being all business like 'gotta go before this place burns' and then noticing those plates and changing his mind.
The water pistol!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!! I couldn't stop laughing when he pulled it out! (Why the hell does he carry that thing with him around anyway? lol)
LMAO at "Oh that's alright, just us girls."
Loved his explanation to Donna about being able to see fixed points in history, and what he can and can not change.
His realization that he's the one who'll end Pompeii. Ouch. Definitely best scene in the episode.
And when he came back for the family, that 'come with me' scene that was in the trailer.
I'm happy he has someone to reason with his and get him to listen and consider other options.

I was chuckling when they thought Doctor and Donna are married at first.
I have a feeling they'll joke with that like they did with Nine being Rose's boyfriend in series 1.
Spartacus and Spartacus. lol

The family was cool. They might have been in Pompeii, but the dynamics felt pretty modern to me. :D

"Ancient Rome - like Soho, but bigger."
\o/

And what is it with Shadow Proclamation being mentioned in both episodes so far this season? Maybe it will play a part in the finale?

All in all this season is fun and awesome so far!

ETA: John Barrowman rocks so much! ♥
Not that we didn't know that already. :)
