Time Crash

This was a very cute mini-episode. The ending breaks down the fourth wall and is David Tennant (and Moffat and cast and crew) talking instead of the Doctor, really. "You were my Doctor," simply isn't something the Doctor would say to himself. HOWEVER, I still want to squish Time Crash's cheeks! SQUISH SQUISH SQUISH. It's a complete love-letter to the past, and I don't blame them one bit for sort of stepping outside to do it. So many funny lines that if I started quoting, I'd jot down the entire script! (All except that "wibbley-wobbly timey-wimey" thing. Things like that are funny and cute once, but repetition kills that kind of stuff.)

*SQUISHES*

Voyage of the Damned

• Well, that was a very quick fix to the TARDIS! Extremely cool-looking while it was self-repairing, but I'd pictured the Doctor having to scale up the wall or something. :D
  
  
• I can't decide if I like the new theme song arrangement better or not. I like it, but it reminds me a bit of a Mannheim Steamroller Christmas song. :D
  
  
• Futurama FTW!!
  
  
  
  
  
  Kif: Do you remember that "course correction" you made, sir?
  Zapp: No.
  Kif: Well it's proving somewhat more suicidal than we initially hoped.
  
  
• The Doctor does a bit of a...not sure if you'd call it a carrot-dangle or a test. He starts talking about new and different worlds, and he's very much watching Astrid's reaction to it.
  
  
  
  Doctor: Potential companion material? Maybe...
  
  
• The Doctor's reaction to snobs cracks me up.
  
  
  
  Childish behavior deserves childish behavior, after all.
  
  
• Astrid is absolutely thrilled at being on an unimpressive street, simply because it's a new planet. I'm thinking she just scored massive points on the Doctor's potential companion meter. (Also, after two major disaster Christmases, the people in London have wised up. Hysterical! :D)
  
  
  
  The Doctor definitely could use someone around who is thrilled with travel.
  
  
• I'm sorry, but what kind of monster slaughters innocent people just so his family would have some money?
  
  
  
  To quote MST3K, "I'm gonna sink this bitch."
  
  
• The Doctor starts promising to get people out alive, which he tends to do maybe when he shouldn't. Sure it is a comforting thing to say, but like Mr. Copper says at the end, the Doctor doesn't get to choose who lives and who dies. Not even if they're nice. And not even if the Doctor wants to save them, because when it comes down to it, he isn't a god.
  
  
  
  The Doctor really needs to stop promising things he can't promise. Unrelated, he also needs to stop using the word "impossible" as it clearly means something else to the Doctor. ;)
  
  
• "I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborus. I am 903 years old. I am the man who is going to save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?" I love that! :D
  
  
• "You should see me in the morning." "Okay." Le sigh. That is one thing I'm looking forward to with Donna - so very much "been there, done that" with people the Doctor meets immediately falling for him.
  
  
• People start dying and the Doctor gets a "You promised me!" And the Doctor has to apologize for his promise. Maybe he won't make them so freely in the future?
  
  
  
  In LotTL he seemed to become god-like. Here it's being shown that he's not all-powerful, and he can't save everyone.
  
  
• See, now this is just plain cruel. The Doctor wants Astrid to come with him, and so you pretty much know that's the kiss of death. Because the Doctor actually happy for more than 5 minutes? Ha! And you get the bonus of it hurting more when she goes.
  
  
  
  Oh, Doctor. Brace yourself, because apparently you're the universe's whipping boy.
  
  
• From what I understand, DT kissing or getting kissed by pretty much every woman is now a running joke. Erm, you do realize it's starting to get very Shatner-esque, right? o_O
  
  
  
  Astrid will totally live after this. *nods* Oh. I guess not.
  
  
• I actually laughed the first time I saw the Doctor ascend with the angels. It was just so...HEH. After watching this time and seeing this little theme of the Doctor not being a god and not saving people, I think this is supposed to be ironic.
  
  
  
  The Lonely God. He's still makes a bad god, by the way.
  
  
  
  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
  
  
• The Doctor finally meets an Alonzo. *snickers*
  
  
  
  Merry Christmas, Doctor!
  
  
• Oh, Doctor Who. How can I stay mad at you when you're so adorkable? *PETS*
  
  
  
  
• Am I the only one thoroughly creeped out by Astrid not dying but instead becoming stardust? I know it's supposed to be a semi-happy ending for her, but it unnerves me for some reason.
  
  
  
  But I guess at least he got to say goodbye.
  
  
• "It's just France and Germany. Only Britain is great." Mwah!
  
  
• Awww. I think Mr. Copper would have made for a really fun companion! Okay, he probably couldn't have lasted long considering the constant physical danger.
  
  
• But the Doctor's back to "I travel alone." Poor Doctor. Every time you see him starting to come out of this mentality, he gets smacked back into it. *pats him*
