Tiny spoiler for TW S2 finale, as well as, obviously, for this ep of DW.
That's not a spoilery cut-tag thing - that's the truth. While I was watching DW this afternoon, a storm started developing outside my window, and if there's one thing I can say about DW that nobody could ever take issue with ;) it is this:
When the skies are darkening and thunder is rumbling during the last fourth of the episode?
DO NOT WANT.
Apart from that, I have so so so much Donna-love. This episode really broke by heart - I think they did a fantastic job of showing and making us feel for the complete destruction of thousands of lives and families; seeing the Doctor dealing with this through and impacted by his memories and thoughts of Gallifrey were just...
It was heart-wrenchingly well done. I cried - I cried more than I did over the last episode of Torchwood, actually.
I am so glad that Donna made him go back to save the family - and I can't wait to do some vidding with those Household Gods - it was adorable.
Off on an icon hunt now...

I ever thought possible! And I love you so much for it! Filking! So woobie.
Huh. Does this mean that John kripke-d my vid?
