Reaction to Doctor Who 3x12 "The Sound of Drums":

WAHAGKQWRAOV %K#QV64rcxjoa v t2g gg%#aqvcrSU8O.

Yes.

That.

Was.

Awesome.

To be slightly more coherent:


...No, wait, I lie. This show is made of squee and any objectivity I may have had has long since fled. I can only gibber in delight.

So, gibbering!


HOMG THE MASTER. Now THAT is a Supervillain. He's like the Doctor. Gone evil. And on speed. The thumbs' up! The opening and closing and opening the door! The dynamite behind the TV! The lip-zipping! The everything he does ever!

"I like it when you say my name."

"A psychiatrist's field day."

Was the Doctor looking in-cred-i-bly hot on the phone in the rain or was it just me?

Gallifrey!

"I did it for you. In your honor." Oh god. Can Jack be more in love, when he looks at the Doctor there?

"You too, huh?"

Rogue Traders' "Voodoo Child"!!! *starts boogieing along with the Master's companion*

THE MASTER KNOWS THE RIGHT MEANING OF DECIMATE WAHAHAHAHAH VOCABULARY GEEK-GASM FOR THE WIN.


Naught but two things mar it. One, the crippling terror question of whether we're keeping Ten next season.

Regarding that, it does seem that in previous years, it's been confirmed by this point that people were leaving, and there's been none of that now, just no definite confirmations of yes. Also, SPOILERISH:

gnine found a Youtube vid someone took of David Tennant, John Barrowman, and Freema Agyeman filming a scene that has definitely not been in the ep yet (the three of them were talking nearby the fountain-thing over Torchwood, and then Jack walks off, looked like it might be a goodbye.) So there's a good chance they're still around in the end. Oh please please please *crosses fingers toes and other available appendages*


And secondly.

CANNOT WAIT NEXT WEEK'S EP FINALE NEED NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW YES THANK YOU NOOOOW.

Agreed on all points. He is a pretty sweet villain. XD And his wife cracks me up... she gets off on his evil so much she looked orgasmic when he was talking about decimating the population. The song had me laughing and WTFing at once (I like that song, too). >_< I don't want the Doctor to regenerate! ;_; Hopefully they can reverse the process, if they just nab the device...

I suppose since Jack has his own show (which I need to watch, too), he won't be staying around on Doctor Who, but I wish he was. It was nice having him hanging out again ("You, too, huh?"=awwww!! ;_;), and I kinda hoped, since his name appeared at the beginning after Freema's... but, yeah, that'd be too good...

Well... next week! O_o Bah, it was nice when we hadn't caught up yet and could just go NEXT *double-click*. Oh, well...

I love that the Master has an eeeevil Companion! He's just such a great mirror image of the Doctor.

gnine and I are having palpitations thinking of David Tennant leaving the show! Though pretty much no one believes it's going to happen; this show is a big enough deal in the UK that if there were a new Doctor on the roster everyone would probably know by now (they start shooting s4 next month!) So we just hope the Doctor gets de-aged because it will be sad to have him in such silly makeup for the whole ep...

and yes, we were spoiled, having so many eps to watch at once! the waiting now is quite tedious...and then it will be half a year before anything new! (btw J wanted to know, did you see the 2005 'children in need' special? if not be sure to check it out, it's just a couple minutes long but terrifically adorable, the moments in the TARDIS between the s1 finale and the 1st Xmas special...)

Yeah, ditto. Change him back quickly, please... ^^;;; Yep, I saw the Children in Need special. It would've been sad to miss that, that's kinda sneaky hiding a little piece of the plot away like that. Saw Attack of the Graske, too. :P That was interesting, but not really much fun when you couldn't actually play.

Aand that would be me, above.
