thank you, Netflix....
So I think Doctor Who is taking over my life. Just saying....
I watched the Ruby in the Smoke today, because how could I not? It has Rose and the Doct--err, I mean Billie Piper and Matt Smith. Mostly Matt Smith, if I'm being honest, because I love the Eleventh Doctor so much. I've already seen the other Sally Lockhart special with them in it--Shadow in the North--and while it wasn't great, it was reasonably diverting, and, as aforementioned, is full of Who actors, including the actress who plays Martha Jones' mum.
So Ruby in the Smoke was kind of confusing, but it was actually pretty interesting. And there's this adorable little girl whom they have to protect from her evil employer, and there are some fun bits of her running around with Matt Smith's character. Oh my goodness. Is there anything the man's been in where he WASN'T wonderful with children? I was ready to love it to pieces just for that, but then the little girl gets kidnapped, and they have to try to save her, and she gets kidnapped and disappears. Disappears! And at the end of the movie, SHE IS STILL GONE. They're like, oh, don't worry, we will find Adelaide. But I've seen the next movie, and she never gets found! They just forget about her. I don't know if this is the fault of the books from which the specials were adapted, or sloppy writing, or what, but it was really irritating, especially since I was more interested in what happened to the little girl than the main character. *sigh*
It's so weird having a biological clock, and having it just go crazy whenever you see a guy who's good with kids, which is something several other people on lj have been noticing about Matt Smith. Ahahaha.
