A silly look at these eps, with 42 pictures--which is a bit ironic.
This is one of my favorite episodes, from the brilliancy of the ensemble casting, to the Doctor having to challenge his own rules and beliefs, to Rose and the Doctor each being awesome apart from each other, to the little moments of squee scattered everywhere in this episode. There are many deep things about these episodes that can and probably will be said in the next few days. But! I talk about this one in all its deep, meaningful ways all of the time, whenever I watch it in fact.
And so, in the finest tradition of DW fans and our silliness, we decided to watch it as a chat to record our random, goofy comments (one of us watching for the first time, one forth the 7th time, and one for the eight-millionth time). Of course, this had to wait until Time & Space's Screencap gallery was no longer borked, but there we are.
So, without further ado, enjoy the silliness.
Cast of characters:
- Claire: watching these episodes for the first time, relatively new to Who
- Jovanie: nicachick007; recently inducted; the other bringer of Who to the U of O campus
- Anne: tsukara; Me, DW obssesive, soundtrack junkie; the sarcastic one who never shuts up; purveyor of DW crack, etc.
Caps are courtesy of Time and Space.
Claire: Ooh, ugly.
Anne: Ugly, but cool looking. And definitely better than bubble-wrap monsters.
Claire: They look like weirdo clams
Claire: PEOPLE! he isnt a person, he's a Timelord.
Anne: Yeah, but he looks like a people.
Claire: No, he looks like a Scottish Timelord.
Anne: Black hole: om nom nom
Anne: *twitches at geo-stational being used wrong*
Jovanie: Phyyyyysics.
Anne: Even I know that going beyond the laws of physics is a Very Bad Thing
Jovanie: VBT
Anne: Indeed.
Jovanie: Spexy!
Jovanie: Yup. Isn't that OOD?
Anne: Ooooo.
Anne: Gosh, Billie's so pretty in this episode!
Jovanie: I KNOW!
Claire: I wanna be as AWESOME as Rose. She is pretty kick-ass. Oh, and she hangs out with the Doctor.
Anne: Oh, I hate this part. :C
Jovanie: I KNOW.
Anne: It does make me smile a little though that the base looks like a human hamster run.
Jovanie: The Doctor's going to do laundry... *snerk*
Anne: Doctor: *clings*
Claire: Mmm, Doctor doing laundry, HOT!
Claire: Is that a big Ood speaking?
Anne: Not...exactly...
Jovanie: THE BEAST AND HIS ARMIES WILL RISE FROM THE PIT TO MAKE WAR ON GOD
Claire: AAAAAHHH, Its Tim Curry from Legend!
Claire: "Mom, he's looking at me!"
Anne: "Not touching you, not touching you, not touching you"
Anne: It looks like someone took a sharpie to his face
Claire: Ginny Weasley much?
Anne: He's already completely insane, he's just hiding it well
Jovanie: Took the words right out of my mouth
Claire: Like Event Horizon! A gateway to HELLLLL!
Anne: BLACK CHUCKS. *is on Chucks watch*
Anne: Gosh, this whole conversation breaks my heart....
Jovanie: ME TOO. UST. GUH.
Jovanie: But she's already home!
Claire: Lame, Jovanie
Jovanie: He's like a scary leopard!
Anne: No denying they're a couple to Danny
Jovanie: To everyone, but themselves
Anne: Eh, at this point I don't think they're even denying it to themselves. Just the TV audience
Jovanie: (And one of the reasons the Doctor is so sad he's lost the TARDIS is because they've lost their favorite shag spots)
Claire: She is going out the airlock, just like a Cylon!
Anne: Now now, President Rosslyn had nothing to do with Scooti's death
Jovanie: True
Anne: HE SHOULD IMPLODE
Claire: Yeah right.
Jovanie: HEAD ASPLODE
Anne: So should she, actually, but I guess that's a bit graphic for DW. TW would do it though.
Jovanie: ORANGE SPACE SUIT
Jovanie: I trust him
Jovanie: EPIC KISS
Anne: The only thing I can think of is a sailor's wife as she waves goodbye to the ship sailing away. Like there should be a Decemberists song about it.
Anne: "Mom~ They won't stop staring at me~"
Jovanie: "Waaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Anne: "Kids, do I have to turn this planetoid around?"
Jovanie: ABADON
Anne: Lone One, Star Snuffer, etc.
Jovanie: The Ood pods are like Yo-Yos of Death
Anne: You know, ironically, yo-yos were originally used as weapons by like the ancient greeks or something
Anne: TORCHWOOD
Jovanie: TORCHWOOD
All three: *IMAGINARY SHOT*
Jovanie: SHE'S NOT LOST SHE'S WITH THE DOCTOR
Anne: for now
Joavnie: DON'T! DON'T YOU DO THAT
Anne: OH NO. The music is Lone Dalek again. *tears up*
Jovanie: AAAAAAAAAAA
Anne: I love in-charge Rose
Jovanie: GO ROSE
Claire: *screams*
Jovanie: Here come the Ood, here come the Ood
Anne: *dances*
Jovanie: *tearing up already*
Anne: With the Bad Wolf theme and everything....
Anne: "Lone Dalek!"
Jovanie: I KNOW. But THE DOCTOR'S ALIVEV
Jovanie: *ALIVE
Anne: With extra V!
Anne: Oh, Gosh, he looks so alone in that shot....
Jovanie: Why do they have to use that music all the time!
Anne: 'Cause it's pretty?
Jovanie: BUT IT MAKES ME SAD
Claire: Satan: LOLZ
Anne: Doctor: *monster face*
Jovanie: Rawr rawr rawr
Anne: "Fairest and fallen, greeting and defiance."
Jovanie: She sent the Devil to hell
Anne: YAY TARDIS
Jovanie: TARDIS TO THE RESCUE
Jovanie: BEST REUNION HUG EVER
Anne: And then they done sex
Jovanie: YUP
Anne: Look, see, sex hair
Jovanie: The stuff of legend
Jovanie: Oooh Love and Monsters next
Anne: You know, it's really not such a bad episode
If there's anything we've said that confused you, rest assured, I've got footnotes. All you have to do is ask. :D
If you want serious(er), go see mrv3000's recap, which is so much better done.
