Remix & Doctor Who 4x04: The Sontaran Stragetem

[such_heights]

So, Remix reveals today! I remixed rian219 to produce The Tyranny of Petty Things (The Unconquered Skies Remix) [HP; Remus/Sirius; PG-13], which I shall repost here and talk about sometime next week. It was spotted alarmingly quickly by avendya, possibly because she has spies in my brain - Ave, let me know what you'd like as your smartypants prize and I'll get

Awww yeah, that's a good point, Frank was also great! And yeah, they need some boys in the TARDIS sometime soon, I think.

Ohh I really hope she's done something good for next week - this episode was nice set-up, so hopefully as long as there aren't any giant face penises or other such tomfoolery (I still have nightmares, I swear) then we're all good. I did love 'To The Last Man' so she's definitely back in my good books anyway.

Totally agree with you on bad timing - another interesting thing I've read recently is the idea that actually maybe Donna should have gone with him at the end of 'Runaway Bride' and might have been a better rebound companion, because she wouldn't have taken as much as nonsense and so on. Practically, of course, they had no idea they could get Catherine Tate for a whole series, but still. If that had happened then the Doctor and Martha team might have had a chance to be much more awesome.

Oooh, set up, I am intrigued. I'm not sure, because absolutely he did seem a bit nonplussed by the whole thing. And Martha never actually got it confirmed it was him, it was just "an impeccable source". Ooh, ooh, now my conspiracy theories are going wild, hurray!

Exactly! Donna would not get left around with no idea how to get herself out again, no siree. :D

I wonder if they haven't been able to have a solo male companion because male Doctor Who fans are fundamentally shallow and need something pretty to loom at. Thank god we're not like that. ;) ;)

I'd forgotten about To The Last Man - but yes great as well, she's a bit of a star on the quiet. But no, don't even get me started on the human Sek design - because, just for starters, if you're going to have a character that's meant to be hugely charasmatic you absolutely must not cover their eyes completely *head desk*.

I think it probably would have been better for both the Doctor and Martha if Donna had travelled with the Doctor first - but maybe not so much for the storytelling of the show. Although then they could have gone and picked up Ianto and formed Team Awesome!

Ahahaha, indeed. Well, they're writing Torchwood for the fangirls now, maybe it's only a matter of time? :D (Actually, I love the new phenomenon of shows written for their female fanbase - cf. Supernatural - rather than solely for the usual fanboy contingent.)

Ughhhh I have eviscerated the whole sorry mess from my memory, more or less. The one bum note in the whole of S3.

asda;lsdjkas Martha + Ianto + Doctor (+ Jack, yes?) = SO MUCH WIN I CANNOT PROCESS.
