Kris's Doctor Who Adventure: Season 3
I am watching these really fast and it makes it look like that is all my life is, because all my LJ is is Doctor Who reviews... this is kind of true. I blame it all on Nicole. She is like a Doctor Who ninja! She gets me over to her house with trickery, surrounds me with pop and blankets and candy and then turns Doctor Who on for HOURS. I am not to blame for how my life turned out, is my point here.
So, I am not going to review all the different episodes, just the end of the season. I liked this season a lot! I liked that they had him continue his own emotional journey through this season and not just get over Rose because there was a new companion and new storyline. Bril'.
I did really like Martha. I do still enjoy Rose better than I did Martha, for a few reasons, but she was smart, brave, sasstastic, and actually carried a few of the episodes. I think people were mad at her character for leaving the Doctor (?), and... sort of.
I mean, it's not her responsibility to take care of him, he's a grown Time Lord and has to deal with his own life. BUT, the poor guy just became the last of his race, the last of his kind in the entire universe and time, AGAIN, and you're worried about some unrequited love. And being there for your family, yes, that's legit, but I didn't like your family, so I didn't really care about them. And that's the problem, really, because I care that the Doctor just had another horrifyingseason finale, and Martha left him to it to take care of people that I didn't develop an attachment to. That doesn't mean they aren't important to Martha's character, though. Its not her fault I like the Doctor enough that I put his happiness over hers.
She was also rather more serious than Rose was. They did have their fun, Martha and the Doctor, but there was always that undercurrent of unrequited love, and Martha was smart enough to see through some things, and kind of blamed the Doctor when things went wrong... I liked that Rose really went along with his life as if it was an adventure, and was more light-hearted. By the end of the season, Martha being bitter about the Doctor loving someone other than her was a little old, though Jack being there and also having an unrequited interest in the Doctor was perhaps the best thing to happen, ever.
AND CAPTAIN JACK I LOVE YOU SO. I admit, I knew about the Face of Bo thing (curse you Tumblr gif setsssssss!), but still really enjoyed his whole story and the way the Doctor and him interacted in Utopia in particular. The Doctor being wary of something and distrusting it was actually a little disconcerting.
What else happened this season? The Master was there. I had not met the Master before, as I know nothing about Classic Who, and I spent most of Utopia bouncing around yelling about how I understood nothing. My Doctor Who Ninja was texting her boyfriend or some other trivial nonsense and ignored my nervous breakdown so I had to eat all the nachos.
See? This is what I am reduced to.
I didn't particularly enjoy the three-part finale to the season. It was okay. I only really got emotionally invested at the end, when the Master was deciding to die rather than stay with the Doctor because... asshole. Jesus. You caused all this trouble, least you could do would be to hang out with the Doctor for a couple decades and keep him company. Everything from the season being brought together was epically cool, though! I knew to look for themes and such and was still impressed.
But I was kind of just confused and meh about the Master. Any Master fans? Tell me what you liked about him.
And now we are going on the Titanic? Whoops. And DONNA NOBLE? y/y? I hope so, because she's grand.
