Season Three finished!
I'm all finished with my marathon, now bring on season four!
Some thoughts, rather out of order and random:
The writers keep using the name Sally. What gives? Is it really that popular a British name? There's a Sally in The Christmas Invasion, another who was turned into a Cyberman that got her emotions turned back on in Age of Steel, and in season three, there was Sally Calypso, the hologram from Gridlock, and of course, Sally Sparrow and the other Sally in Blink. Seriously, you guys need to get more creative with your names. The fact that you keep reusing the surnames Smith and Jones is getting old.
I just love picking up on musical themes, like the first time Martha's Theme is played and the places where it filters back in, like when she and the Doctor kiss. :D Makes me giddy.
I was surprised to find that my torrent of Daleks in Manhattan won't play anymore, so I couldn't watch. Not that it was so big a loss, as I skipped through the previous episode quickly and was planning on doing the same with part two.
There are just some characters that I hate because of their snooty attitudes. That blonde chick working for Saxon is one of them. I like to imagine that when the shit hit the fan, he had her killed, because she probably thought she had it sooooo great, and had so much power. Mwah ha ha, dead now, bitch!
I can't get over how bad a job the props and wardrobe did with trying to make those college students American in The Sound of Drums. It's like they stuck 100 Americans in a blender and came out with tacky soup. Oh yes, let's put them in sports jerseys, not the same city though, mind you, we need variety. And let's have fast food on the table, and not just one kind, but as many as possible. Because God knows they would order from five different places. Now, those could be leftover from days ago, but I don't give them enough credit for that. But make sure you put the stars and stripes on that tub of popcorn! Oh! And stick one guy in a letterman jacket. And just in case... put him in a t-shirt that says USA with a big U.S. flag on it! Jesus Christ, you might of well have stuck cardboard cutouts of Washington and Lincoln in there.
I loved seeing Jack again! He was so kickass and he fit right back in.
I remember people throwing bitchfits after the Master was revealed, saying it was all Martha's fault for drawing attention to the watch, but uh, hello? Jack and the Doctor kept using certain buzzwords that repeated in the Master's head, whispering to him (like time vortex and what have you), then after Martha talked to him about the watch, he heard his own voice coming from the watch. If Martha had never drawn attention to it, those whispers of things Jack and the Doctor said would still bounce around in his head and eventually I'm sure he would have heard the watch calling to him.
Also, Jack isn't the Face of Boe. He's fucking with them. Because Boe is one of the Boekind and the last of his race. He was never human. Jack heard Martha say to the Doctor, "Think of what the Face of Boe said," so he took that and played a little trick on them, because RTD making it up at the last second because he thought it'd be fun doesn't make it canon to me. There's continuity errors and then there's this. So sorry, but no thank you.
Fave episodes? Blink, The Shakespeare Code, Smith and Jones, Family of Blood, and Utopia.
Least fave? Dalek two parter, hands down. I want to say Human Nature too, which is funny because I like Family of Blood, but I think it's the whole leading up thing. It feels like it takes the whole episode to get it going.
Oh! Believe it or not, I've been avoiding season four spoilers lately. Usually I'm a spoiler whore, but now I'm scrolling on by! How funny. I guess I feel that I know enough, and I want to leave some surprises for myself.
Hmm, there's more, but I'm tired and my parents are picking me up tomorrow so that'll be it for me. Bye, folks!
