So. This is what it feels like when you're heart stops working.
A freaking TELEVISION SHOW made my heartrate speed up. I was actually SCARED. WTF?!?! I think that just means there's something wrong with me.
Okay. First things first.
IF THE DOCTOR REGENERATES SO HELP ME RAXICORICOPHALLIPATORIUS I WILL HAUL MY ASS OUT TO WALES AND KICK SOME BOOTY! I NEED David Tennant. I MUST HAVE David Tennant. Unless we are DEgenerating and I can have Nine back, there is no change to be happening! OKAY?!!
Phew. Okay. Now I can comment about the rest of the episode. With lots of capslock.
IANTO HAS THE MOST AWESOME LINES IN THIS EPISODE! Best first line ever! "No broken bones. Slight loss of dignity. No change there though." LOVE YOU! Ianto actually, in my opinion, biased as it is, got more development than Gwen. At least for people who know the show. I saw the jealousy ("I met a soldier in a bar." "When was this?"), the snarkyness (aforementioned quote), the Time-To-Put-Jack-In-His-Place-Now (Jack talking to Luke and Ianto's all "Scuse me.") So yes. Quite satisfied with Ianto.
Except Jack freaking LEFT him AGAIN for the Doctor. Yeah yeah, you're coming back. Cept they're gonna be DEAD by then! DALEKS Jack! The thing that had you nearly WETTING yourself! (Who'd he kiss first? THAT'S RIGHT! Take that Gwen!) I can't believe Jack would leave his team with DALEKS storming in. Especially after what just happened with Tosh and Owen. Yes, loved when Gwen mentioned them. Did NOT love Ianto calling her "ma'am" or the British equivalent that sounds like "mom".
Okay. I really need to stop talking about Torchwood. This was a Doctor Who episode. Ahem.
I LOVE SARAH JANE AND LUKE AND MR. SMITH AND NOW I NEED TO START WATCHING SARAH JANE ADVENTURES! Luke is the shiznit. I love Sarah Jane. I love that they have her, so that someone else can recognize Davros. Well, I guess if Sarah Jane can leave her SON to go get the Doctor, Jack can leave Ianto. Don't think I agree with either decision, quite honestly. But hey, it's the Doctor. I guess the rules are different for him.
Knew Martha wasn't dead. Two times in two episodes? No no. Not happening. STOP TRYING TO GET RID OF MARTHA YOU DAMN WRITERS! Martha gets no love. I love you Martha.
I like that Rose was more... Rose in this one. I saw more of her emotions. She's now like Martha in Last of the Timelords. Still her, but battle hardened. I wonder what else has been going on in her world. Where's Jackie? and the BABY! Baby Tardis, as we have deemed the kid. I hope Jake comes back. I liked him.
HARRIET JONES FOR THE WIN! Don't believe she's dead. Nope. The screen went out. We had that fakeout way back in Dalek. Don't know if she's going to STAY that way though. I'm worried for her. How did she know there would be a time when the Doctor wouldn't be there? Or did she just guess and her guess turned out right?
LOVED Rose getting all jealous of Martha. Don't worry sweetie, it's not the same.
OMG I SAW A LITTLE BIT OF JACK/DONNA AND I THREW UP IN MY MOUTH. And here I was figuring Donna would be the ONE person who could resist Jack's charms. Sort of goes with my theory that River Song is the lovechild of Jack and Donna. Oh PLEASE let that theory be wrong!
Oh yeah. Jack? No flirting with Sarah Jane in front of her son. I HATE it when guys flirt with my mom when I'm standing there. SO awkward.
I'm still holding out on the idea of my dream actually being incorporated into Doctor Who. We've got daleks in the hub. Now all we need is Jack backed in a corner to realize that Daleks could actually kill him. And a Jack/Ianto kiss, being as I can't be there to do that. Okay, we won't get the last one. But here's to hoping.
Donna's grandfather is the greatest ever. When he had the paintball gun I was like "YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!" Shame it didn't work. And the webcam! "She won't let me have one. Says it's naughty." I love that man. I want that to be my grandfather.
Now every time I see a bee I'm gonna go "ALIEN!!" And also "I am not sleeping with you!" I do not have true love with a bee. No no.
*cries* We really can't have a new Doctor. Come on. Please. I don't want a new Doctor. I want to keep David Tennant for ever and ever and ever. Him getting shot by the dalek as he did the running-in-slow-motion-to-Rose thing was the most predictable moment in Doctor Who history. And not just because I'd seen pictures of him on the ground on the street with Rose holding him. Jack, if you'd only shown up a second earlier! If we get a new Doctor, I am holding you COMPLETELY responsible.
Don't know what else to say about this episode really. I've got chills. I spent the entirety of it freaking out. I had to go back and rewatch all the parts with Ianto because I couldn't understand a damn word out of his mouth. Whether that's because he mumbles or because I was squeeing too loud, I don't know. I STILL don't know what he says when they first see the Doctor and Gwen says "He's nice. I thought he'd be younger." Obviously it's something jealous-like.
I NEED TEN AND IANTO TO MEET FACE TO FACE! They must have words! Happy words! After this is all over Ianto needs to be like "So. You want a cup of coffee?" and the Doctor (TEN!) needs to be like "WOW this good! You need to be my new companion." And then it will be awesomesauce.
Btw, that "You want a cup of coffee" is NOT the Eddie Izzard "you want a cup of coffee." No no no. Ten/Ianto BAD. EW. Yuck. So wrong. Almost as wrong as Jack/Donna. With little River Song baby. Which I've decided is an alias, and she chose it because Jack used to sing her Old Man River as a lullaby when she was a baby.
IF I AM RIGHT ABOUT ALL OF THAT I WILL EAT MY BUTT. Nom nom nom. I should write that as crack so that it doesn't come to pass. Yes. I think I shall.
See you all later. :)
