Dr Who (Love and Monsters)
I do not normally do this, but I'm so bored thus far, that I have commentary. Actually it's not, it's just me complaining a lot.
There aren't really spoilers for the series finale, but it's kind of obliquely mentioned, so if you dont know, you might want to avoid it -- or at least the last line of the LJ-cut.
Oh my god, am I meant to care about these video taping, alien spotting lunatics? 'Cause I really, really don't. Is this how we're gonna spend the last episodes of the series?
Russell, sweetheart, the show doesn't really work when the Doctor isn't in it. For serious.
Also, at the beginning, when he was telling the story about coming down the stairs to find him there? I briefly entertained that this would be a repeat of Girl in the Fireplace. That would have been amusing, at least.
Now there's singing. Jesus.
I hope Elton gets eaten by something.
Torchwood!
Seriously, eaten. One tiny inch at a time.
And, dude, how stupid would you be to trust the 'omg, don't touch me ever!" man?
I. Do. Not. Care. About. Any. Of. These. people. I'm very frustrated.
How often does Jackie meet Elton John, just out of interest?
Aw, she misses Mickey.
Aw, and she keeps her bedroom.
Being eaten may be too good for Elton. I'm thinking beating him to death with a plunger.
Bridget, I think you're in trouble, babe.
Poor Jackie. This is freaking me out a bit.
Mr. Blue Skies can kiss my fucking ass.
"I'll protect them both until the end of my life!" Jackie rocks.
Am I meant to be scared of Mr. Kennedy? I'm not meant to take him remotely seriously, right?
And Bridget's dead, you fool.
This is the most ridiculous episode of anything ever.
Mr. Skinner is also about to be dead. Oh, well. And yet Elton survives. It seems so unfair.
Peter Kay cannot make up for this. He really can't.
This is so much shit!
She didn't just fall for his, "Slow and clumsy beast thing," did she?
Okay, a guy monster absorbs people. And Elton's asking, begging, for it to give them back? This seems like it would work to him?
And also, she needed to read its thoughts to work out he'd be next?
What has been the point of this whole thing?
"You upset my mum." woo!
Rexicoricophalipatorius! I learned to say that while drunk once (though not to spell it). And yesterday I asked my friend if she'd ever had days of debauchery on Rexicoricophalipatorius? In a posh English accent, for reasons that are too long to go into here. Though they'd probably be more interesting than this.
I am so astounded by the true awfulness of this. I have no words.
And Elton was the only person not hurt. What the fuck?
No, but seriously, what was the point of this? I really don't understand. If it was meant to be funny, it failed. And that's the only thing I can imagine it wanted to be, though if anyone has any other suggestions, you should let me know.
Oh, could we be more heavyhanded with the foreshadowing?
In conclusion: bite me.
Oh, and getting children to design the monsters should have been an indication to me, I suppose. Sigh.
