'Rose' Rewatch thoughts

Jul 18, 2010 18:36

I actually did a rewatch/review of all of season one, but real life, other obsessions, etc. got in the way, so hopefully this will be the thing that gets me in gear to do the other episodes. Anyhoo, here are my thoughts after rewatching "Rose."

Very long, rambling, with clips and caps. :) )

Fantastic recap! I love your point about how "it also travels in time" meant that Rose realized she didn't have to desert her mum and Mickey. I'd never thought about it from that angle, but it makes so much sense.

Mmmm, hand!porn. Glorious, cute, sexy hand!porn. The abundance of it is one of the many reasons S1 is still my favorite. The astounding chemistry between Chris and Billie is an even bigger reason. Like you said, David and Billie have more than enough chemistry make me believe that Ten and Rose love each other, but between Nine and Rose the air just crackles. There is so much intensity.

ah, I do love Christopher Eccleston. He so beautifully and subtly captured the Doctor's pain that was just there under the surface. And when it came bubbling over -- his anguished cry to the Nestene Consciousness that it wasn't his fault, the destruction of its planet -- it was heartbreaking; he was heartbreaking. That catch in his voice, his expression. Oh, he's wonderful.

Yes, exactly! He is so amazing as the Doctor. I'm always wowed by the way he conveys the undercurrents of emotion just beneath the Doctor's tough exterior.
