Don't worry, next week is Doctor-lite, aka 'Love and Monsters' so there probably won't be any dancing with Martha. I say 'probably' because it IS Moffat. Oh, the love/hate relationship I have there.
I AM CHOOSING TO BELIEVE THAT MARTHA GOT OVER HER CRUSH THIS WEEK. Especially since she was like: "I LOVE YOU." And then the Doctor was just like: "... bigger things to deal with at the moment! Must go enact revenge on the family of blood, muha!" And that's when Martha gets over her crush and just became his traveling companion. THAT IS WHAT I SAY.
Also, scarecrows. I agree that they're excellent. But it was pointed out to me that, um, fire?
You are so right. How do they GET some of these things so completely and yet drop the ball on other things? Nina, I think we need to become the editors. Especially because I would just be like: "Um, this script needs more mentions of Rose. I know it'll make some fans want to kill themselves, but that's part of the fun! Ha! Hahaha!"
I was extremely disturbed by the idea that the Doctor doesn't really want to be the Doctor.
David Tennant cleared it up for me when he was just like: "I am playing a character that believes he IS human."
The Doctor wants to be the Doctor. He wouldn't give that up for ANYTHING. But John Smith? Not the Doctor. He's so, so human. And he was basically being asked to die to save the world. Give up being in love to be someone who's lonely and has nothing. I WOULD FREAK THE FUCK OUT, TOO. (Oh, and the way David Tennant did all the wibbling and whining and crying - I NEED SO MUCH THERAPY TO RECOVER FROM THAT. SO MUCH.)
He came back. And not only did he come back, he came back with SPECS. When the specs and the jargon started -- I think that was the happiest I've ever been.
I LOVE YOU. THAT IS WHAT I FELT, TOO. I COULD HAVE DIED FROM SQUEEING. Oh, Ten. <33333
See how alike we are? I think we need an icon dedicated to the awesomeness that is us. WHY DON'T WE HAVE AN ICON TOGETHER, NINA?!
And then went he went all dark - YES, I AGREE. Hottest thing ever. Hot. Hot. Hot. HOT. Scary as fuck, but hot. Oh, my GOD.
The Doctor sacrificed several human lives so that he could AVOID doing terrible things. He's so, so sick of being merciless and he doesn't know how to make it stop.
YEAH. I didn't even connect to the part where all these people DIED so he could be "kind." OH MY GOD. I think the only solution for him at this point is to get Rose back and then have naked cuddling time with her. For, like, a WEEK.
Because... Martha's useless. She loves him and therefore won't do anything to challenge him. (But how much did I like Martha in this episode? I'm surprised my own self!)
And he still never used a gun. BIG exhale of relief on my part. That would be a huge line to cross. British children would be traumatized.
It should be noted, I am still traumatized by the mere THOUGHT of it. GOD. This episode has screwed me up SO BADLY.
She keeps him grounded, he gives her that "thanks for looking after me" hug, and it's just, OH. Why do you have to spoil it by making it into a fourth grade crush?
YES. EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID. YES. Martha is good when she's not unrequited angsting. Got it, RTD? Good.
And: I made an icon of Ten's chucks. DO YOU LIKE IT?! :D
Oh, goody. Everybody knows "Love and Monsters" was such a roaring success.
(HAHAHAAHA, CHECK MY AMAZING SARCASM. :P )
Martha should definitely get over her crush. She would be so much cooler. And I would really love to agree with you, except there is going to be a new episode in a couple of hours and that will probably tarnish all my hopes. Siiiiiigh.
Nina, I think we need to become the editors.
I SAY THAT EVERY DAY. I'm always like, "I really like this show, Doctor Who. One day soon my friend Frances and I are going to become the head honchos and then the show will flourish as NEVER BEFORE. And we will make Billie Piper come back."
I should watch the Confidential so that David Tennant can clear things up for me. (And by the way, THANK YOU LOADS for that tip on the TRB commentary. I nearly died. I fucking love David Tennant. HE IS ON OUR SIDE, FRANCES.) And ... yeah, he can really cry with the best of them. I was watching it with my family and it was really hard for me not to scream out "OH MY GOD DAVID COME HERE AND I WILL GIVE YOU A HUG."
And then sex.
You know.
It has healing powers.
Anyway.
WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE AN ICON TOGETHER. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FIT THAT MUCH AWESOMENESS ONTO 100X100 PIXELS. AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA. :P
Our double twin Chucks Icons of Awesome should do for now. <3333333333333 And when Ten came back with specs I was like, "OMG! I KNOW FRANCES IS SQUEEING JUST AS MUCH AS I AM RIGHT NOW!" And it was beautiful.
I didn't even connect to the part where all these people DIED so he could be "kind."
Isn't it FUCKING SCARY?! And it's quite illogical, which is even more un-Doctor. Because what he ended up doing was sparing the Family of Blood (evil) at the expense of innocent civilians. Wow, Doctor. You have gone so far off the deep end.
I think the only solution for him at this point is to get Rose back and then have naked cuddling time with her. For, like, a WEEK.
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. YOU WIN.
I really wish they would do that. Sure, it's a kid's show, but why can't we teach kids about safe sex and sci-fi in one breath? :DDDDD
She loves him and therefore won't do anything to challenge him.
Nahhh, she doesn't love him. She only THINKS she loves him. She's loves the COOL part of him without really understanding the rest of his character. I mean, she was hitting on him two minutes into Smith and Jones, and she didn't even know who he WAS then. She's just ... I don't know, she's just ... BADLY WRITTEN is what she is.
I think if you really love someone you should definitely always challenge them and HELP THEM NOT KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE.
I did really like a few of her moments in this episode, though. Sometimes I just think they have NO idea what they're doing with these companion characters, and I'm not sure how they got Rose so right. Maybe they didn't. Maybe it was all Billie.
It should be noted, I am still traumatized by the mere THOUGHT of it.
I know, I know. It was FUCKING WEIRD.
My coping strategy for Series 3 is to watch Tom Baker's marvelously silly Seasons 17 + 18. I think you should join me.
