... in which his name is Harold Saxon. He had an accident and woke up in 1973.
I was out yesterday having (my god) a life, and so I came back to a friends list that had actually exploded with Who, so it was with some trepidation that I watched the last episode. And all I have to say is:
OH MY GOD RUSTY YOU CRAZY FUCKER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! I... really don't know where to start. I enjoyed, in that apparently halucinogenic drugs can be quite pleasurable, but my brain hasn't quite got over it yet. So, a list.
1. jacinthsong, you know that bit where I love you madly? Um, apparently, there's a rumour that links with Life on Mars may be carried forward to the Christmassss Ssssspecial. Which, dammit I want Christmas NOW.
2. I actually have really liked Martha since she appeared (and no it's not just because she's hot :P) and I especially liked this - I thought her saving the world and then saying "you know what? that DOES make me too good for you; I can do stuff that isn't sitting around waiting for you, so dammit, I will." was cool. I loved that the big plot twist was simultaneously less cool than it had been hyped up to be but much more... believable, and therefore effective.
3. JACK IS THE FACE OF BOE WHAT? and, um, is it me or did he say he used to be a male model and that was his stage name?! *dies* Also... wow, that's so weird. Giant head in a jar used to be an awesome and asskicking omnisexual renegade Time Agent. And he did die, in the end.
Also FACE OF BOE HAD SEX. and GOT PREGNANT. Just thought you all ought to have that thought.
4. I still hope we properly find out what was up with Jack's missing years, but... I'm oddly okay with not, because the best thing for me about this was the renewed sense of a HUGH FUCKING UNIVERSE out there, one where crazy shit happened and other people had stories besides the Doctor.
5. And: MASTER. WHAT. I... guess I can just about see the Master deciding to die rather than spend eternity as the Doctor's pet, but... really, dude, you've been in similar situations and you've always cackled and escaped.
6. Although: the Doctor WANTED TO LOCK THE MASTER UP FOREVER IN THE TARDIS JUST SO HE'D HAVE A BOYFRIEND. Oh, you poor, crazy, lonely, and eeeeeeeeever so psychotic God. I like to think this is total proof that all the Rose blah (which, um, bores me to tears and always has, not that I didn't like her but there can be too. much.) is really about Gallifrey: the Doctor really does lose everything.
7. Timelords WILL BE BACK, oh yes! I am actually kind of gleeful. Less flashbacks and more actual!Gallifrey and Timelord, please. I hope this means Romana. Although the hand looked like Lucy Saxon/The Rani, which, uh, all righty then. Also, there is no way the Master's staying dead, although I am kind of sad for the end of John Simm's little pixie face. Dancing to the Scissor Sisters in a really Eeeeeeeeeeeeevil way! awesome!
8. I still don't understand the thing with the female scientist and her son, because I thought her son was the dude who died who looked a bit like a hot version of Jack from Lost, but apparently not. Or something. I think I need to re-watch.
9. Old!Doctor. JUST SAY NO TO DOBBY, DAMMIT.
10. Is it Christmas yet? No? Does that mean we can have Nine back for a bit to make up for it? Go on, Rusty, you know you want to do The Two Doctors! We already know Nine had something to do with the Titanic!
That is all for now. Except that rachel2205 is wonderful, because she got me my icons back and so I can use this one. Yay!
