Thoughts on End of Time, Pt 1
Pre-First of all: Happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates. And, given the time -- I can wish a Happy Boxing Day as well. :^D
First of all -- sorry for the virtual radio silence. Semester ended, I think I did well, still waiting on grades... etc and so forth.
But life is good and I'm back in a pit. :^D I miss you guys and the next few weeks are going to be spent doing massive catchups and all that. ♥
Had a shitty christmas with the extended family but for those of you who know my family situation, that's not all-together surprising. But for the main thing -- thoughts on today's Doctor Who. Came home from ShittyChristmas(tm) to find the wrong episode had downloaded. Two hours later and I had my grubby hands on a fresh copy. So... yeah.
Not quite sure what I think yet. I'm very meh/wishy-washy/blank about it. It needs another viewing to be sure.
...
Wow.
That's all I can think of to say. Just finished watching it about ten minutes ago and I'm really not sure what to think. Part of me liked it and another part is going WTF WERE YOU THINKING RUSTY!?
I just... I don't know. Maybe it's because I had such a bad night with the family that it didn't tug at my emotional heartstrings like it was supposed to. I don't know. But it didn't really pull at anything (outside of the Cafe scene with Wilf). I laughed, yes. The locking TARDIS a la a car was brilliant.
But what in this was a Christmas episode? Seriously. Where was it? Outside of the lights and stuff... where was the Christmas-y feel? At least 'Christmas Invasion' ended with a nice... uplifting bit, even if Torchwood did destroy the ship and the snow was ash and not snow. BUT STILL.
Is it sad that part of me is glad Ianto's gone so he wasn't turned into the Master? But... Gwen did. EEEHEHEHEHEHE Hrm. Six months though... Jack may or may not have turned into him. But also given his whole body chemistry, I wonder if it's even possible for him to turn into the Master. Good god, I'm contemplating meta at 3am. STOP ME SOMEONE!!!
The "Master Race" comment? To quote the West Wing: "there's nothing you can do to stop that. You know it's coming and you just have to stand there and take it."
I want to watch it again, not at 3am and see what I think of it.
I'm... ambivalent. It was good. The music was fantastic. And maybe I'll feel better on the morrow and like it a bit more. I'm just... not sure right now when it comes to Rusty.
Yeah, I know. Wishy-washy review from me. I'm doing a lot of waffling right now. I remember parts and I grin. I remember parts and I facepalm. So I'm wishy-washy myself with it. In all honesty, the story felt rather meh to me. Maybe good old Rusty's getting burned out? Dunno.
Well... we'll see what happens with Part Two.
