doctor who 4.13 journey's end
here is a section of my deep thoughts during this episode.
So it was Bullshit Copout #3 "His Hand Et It".
Noo Doctor has better hair. I wonder if the continuity geeks will call him 10.5? If they cut everything off in inches and then regenerate, will we get 10.001 to 10.998? So he uses Donna's cells to boost his handish energy and she's so amazingly special because of cosmic backwash? K.
More Russellotomy: "Last time the Daleks couldn't get into the ship because they were amateurs. But now it's different because of... um... ooh look, a buttload of flying Daleks! Look over there!"
Jack has inflammable clothing? Useful. I like Martha's butch haircut. Typical Davros episode, yap yap yap pose pose pose. DT does a lot of acting with his teeth, either baring them in Repressed Rage or grinning cutely.
Oh shut up you old windbag. Blah blah end the world. Why do villains always want to do that? Wouldn't it be a bit boring afterwards? Joss pointed this out ages ago.
Aw, that little crazy dalek is so cute! I want one inna jar. Oh right, the osterhagen key is a Giant Bomb. Gripping. Truly gripping. I miss John Simm. And now for the shipping news. This plot is really really woolly. People just standing about making threats.
It's cute that Davros recognises SJS though. Bless. This 'prophecy' talk isn't very SF. They should stick to calling it 'messages from the future' to seem less sword-and-dragony. Yammer YAMMER yammer Davros.
DT flashbacks to the 12 or 15 guest stars he got killed and does some nice acting, but it's not like they were all his fault. I mean, by that logic Five's screwed. He drove his sidekicks away there was so much killing.
The Doctor is doing roughly 0 except listen to Davros yawp on here. Enter Dr 10.5 in that tacky blue suit. He must have absorbed Donna's dress sense. Exit 10.5. But their dumbass attack is surely a Plan. Maybe they're holograms or timeywimey people. Yeah, Donna reversed the polarity on the space bomb. Fuck me that's an old one. She absorbed 800 years of technical skills in a second. The magic hand sucked as well as blew. In many ways.
It's a plaan by Crazy Khan, who has developed a timeconscience and organised this incredibly efficient and rapid plan to destroy the Daleks. 10.5 and Donna are going to die in a fireball, aren't they? WTF is he saving Davros for? Man, that stand-in for 10.5 is no way skinny enough.
Oh Gwen's past. Caring. They plan to tow Earth home using the pure and noble power of author indifference to even the most vaguely plausible SF explanation. Impressive. And they all yay and hug each other to celebrate the divine wonder that is Our Russell's Who.
HAHA. The vain tool thinks Jackie would really name her kid 'Doctor'. Russell pulls out some wtfosity to explain why Rose gets 10.5 to play with - he hasn't had his mean bitchy edges worn off yet and will Age Normally. OHFORFUXACHE do Roseshippers have a gun to his head or something? Stop moaning you miserable cow. You got a Doctorette and a ride home, stop nitpicking. You know, I never thought I had any strong opinions on shipping except that the Doctor was a bit dodgy and not good boyfriend material but now I know I don't like it because it just doesn't suit the story.
Aaaaand... Doctor Godsome is just going to kill Donna, who has gone spacecrazy. Oh no, that's too active for this one. He's going to stand about and watch her die because The Magic is too powerful. She's gonna die and my WORD that's some cheesy music. He seems smugger than ever now. Oh well, at least he lets her die at home. Ok, not die, you chickenshit Russell. She's been brainwashed. But it's ok, she's being looked after by her family as all women should. Independence is for men. Hey! Maybe Bernard Cribbins will die instead! But no. No-one dies except me.
This sucks. Think of John Simm, or "My head is killing me" or even the Dalek/Cybermen bitch-off for finales. What a pile of join-the-dots pull-the-strings ordinariness. OK, he looks cute with wet hair. And it ends with a mopey close-up.
FAIL
A trailer for Yuletide Victorian Cybermen. And?
I'm starting to think S1 was all the mystical glow of Eccleston and the running of his last few ideas. RTD can't write SF and hates the genre. He just wants to go from one mushy soap point to the next, which would be ok if he wrote good romances, but they're not my thing. Pining girls who belong with their mothers? Strong men who repel them for the sake of the mission? Whining gets you your man in the end? Nah. Not my thing and I like a good girlshow now and then.
Sorry to be negative. I know how hard it is to click an lj-cut review and read nothing but bitching. But this was the finale! Despite my great 'love' of TGIF, I'm looking forward to Moffat, and thankfully DT can never wear that crappy blue suit again! Yay! And, on the plus side, nothing like Romana or the Master was buggered up for this episode, just silly old Davros so they're all there for Moffat to play with later! :)
