I'm going to be unabashed here and say that he gravitated to Astrid immediately because she reminded him of Rose: blonde, making do with her boring life, dreaming of something more.

I love you for being able to find Rose in all of this. <33333

I mostly wasn't thinking about how Astrid might remind the Doctor of Rose. Though I'm thinking it really HAD to suck watching her die and not being able to do anything about it. Rose into the void all over again.

But you are TOTALLY right. Astrid reminded me a little of a younger, slightly more eager Rose without any ties. (WHY did Astrid seem so young? Isn't Kylie Minogue something like 40 years-old?)

5. He has already said "Take me to your leader!" Nine said that in "Aliens of London." IS THE DOCTOR'S MEMORY THAT SHORT?!

OMG, I KNOW! THEY SHOULD HIRE US AS EDITORS, NINA. YESSSSS! THIS JUST PROVES IT!

7. On a related note, when David Tennant says "I'm a Time Lord" it gives me this very intense tingle of pleasure. Anyone else feel that?Pretty much everything DT did in this episode made me ( ... )

I doubt anyone else will squee over this... Geoffrey Palmer playing the evil Captain also made me sad. My family is obsessed with As Time Goes By, well, I think my dad has an obsession with Judi Dench but that's not really the point. I like to think his character wasn't evil, rather just wanting to make sure his family was well off before he died ( ... )

Yes. He's trying to KILL US ALL. *cries*

9. Catherine Tate looks hot. But it looks like they're doing the unrequited love thing again, and I just want to say, PRODUCERS, WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY DO YOU HATE US SO MUCH.

Honestly, I don't think so. I really think Donna is just going to be a friend to the Doctor. The kiss seems to be very plot based. And the hand holding thing from the trailer seemed to be more friends bonding over a shared sadness. I really think it's just going to be a really fun friendship and partnership. At least, that's what I'm hoping.
