My icon is sexier than you. Est. 1901.
Aside from the ridiculous title of this episode, the episode wasn't too bad.
Martha - A little annoyed the second time watching, because my sister doesn't like that Martha was talking a lot because they'd gone more than 400 years in the past. And so, it transferred across to me. Must remember not to watch DW with family again. Hrmph. Although, I did enjoy her panicking about stepping on a butterfly and dooming the human race or killing her Grandfather and dooming her family. And watching the third time, well, I like Martha. I may just start shipping Martha/Shakespeare.
"What have butterflies ever done to you?"
Doctor - I will never get tired of the way Tennant can throw his lines about so quickly and precisely. I don't know if I mentioned this last episode, but his thinking spiels keep me very much entertained. You never know what he might manage to slip in there.
Preacher: ...and the Earth will be consumed by flame!
Doctor: Global Warming.
Preacher: O_O
Psychic paper may have been a great invention, but currently, it kind of sucks because Shakes has AWWSUM SUPER POWERZ OF ZE MINDS. No, I have not lost my brain. It's still in the cupboard under the stairs, thank you. Oh, I hope it hasn't gotten into the wine.
The Harry Potter references. GOLD! Laughed so hard, and well, that was just brilliant. Lame, but unbelievably cool. And the Doctor cried when he read book 7!
Doctor: Come on! We can have a good flirt later!
Shakespeare: Is that a promise Doctor?
Doctor: Uh, fifty-seven academics just punched the air.
Scratch my earlier comment. I might start shipping Doctor/Shakespeare.
Christina Cole looks really short in the confrontation scene. I suppose Tennant is 6'1" so... Wait, *watches scene again* Ah, better. Multi-level set. Steps, etc.
And the Doctor wondering how we cope with only one heart. Oi, it's with great difficulty. It's also why most of us end up dead from a voodoo doll stab to the heart, where as he only plays dead.
Doctor: Hit me! Hit me on the chest.
Martha: *hits him*
Doctor: Argh! Other. Side.
I also enjoyed the comparison between mathematical equations being able to split an atom and a string of words having the same power. It could work.
I've been waiting for something like what happened at the end of the episode to happen. Seriously. Just waiting because I've only ever seen from the Ninth Doctor and I don't know if it's happened before then. And it leaves you hanging for the episode that fills in the blanks.
The Queen of Hearts moment could have been done with a different line.
'Nighty-night, Shakespeare.'
Preview for next week (Episode 3): I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping it'd take some time before the Doctor and the Face of Boe would meet again.
Other Episodes: I've been on The Internet Movie Database looking around at this series, and well, I also read the summaries for episodes later in the series. If someone else is willing to be spoilt or already knows about what's there, speak? I know I shouldn't trust IMDB because they are frequently wrong, but a Dalek/Human hybrid (ew ew ew, I did not want to think about that)? The Doctor becoming human? "Martha watches in jealousy ... as the Doctor ... [falls] in love"?
Bugger. So much for platonic.
And I'll be damned if Episode 7 doesn't have some Hitchhiker references.
I'll be changing a fair few of my icons around once my computer is back and running (should be soon) so, for those who haven't been scared off by the lack of my life, or are still here because of it, entertain me:
Look at my userpics. Based on those icons, answer the following questions:
1. Which icon do you associate with me?
2. Which icon is your favorite?
3. Which icon would you like to see me use more often?
4. One that you don't understand?
5. Can you make 2 of my icons converse?
6. When you comment, use your favorite icon and tell me why you love it.
I have ironing to do, a novel to read and a brain to find send to AA, so I'll be off.
