The Last of the Timelords: I think mostly I am ambivalent? It was very exciting while I was watching it and there were bits I definitely liked but I dunno. I sort of feel like I've been left on hold until next year. Here are some thoughts for what they're worth:
ONE YEAR LATER?!
Martha's a legend, oh yes. I love her new look. And she's saving the day with words and freedom of thought and that is so good.
Ye aged make up is still a bit rub (I was just getting used to it and then they brought in the goblin baby) but Lucy's dress is wonderful. What's up with her face though? Looks like there's red bruises around her eyes. Hmm. I assume she will be back next year based on last scene bit? There was maybe a plan between her and the Master or something? Oh I don't know!
Oh, they are coordinating, yay! And it looks like they haven't got Leo yet too. Though this turned out to be pretty irrelevant which was a shame.
QUARRY!
Hurray, flirting! Flirting that will be important next year when Martha comes back with her boytoyfriend in tow? Maybe?
Martha being all doctory, fantastic.
...glowy flying Doctor? What?
Bit of a cheat to put it all back, would like to see a "rebuilding earth" thingy. I liked the epicness, occupied Earth thing they had going on for a bit. But I suppose they would have to put everything back or next series could end up being even more Earthbound than before which would annoy me.
Lovely lighting and stuff in the quarry with the Doctor and the Master. I hope and assume that there will be icons of this.
Oh no Martha don't go! Oh she must come back. Though if she doesn't at least she got to choose to leave. I am focusing more on the leaving to help her family and live her life than leaving because he doesn't fancy her for the sake of my brain. And she knows that she isn't second best and - it's not that she thinks she's better than Rose, or even not-better than Rose, she is now confident enough in herself to know that she is great and that comparisons are just unhealthy. It's not about Rose any more, it's about Martha and her own self belief. ARGH David Tennant is saying things on the Confidential like "The person who effects change is not the one who gets to enjoy it" which - reduces Martha to just a catalyst for the Doctor rather than a character in her own right. DO NOT WANT. (he is also saying "she'll be back" which is good though.) Seriously I would feel pretty betrayed, or at the very least cheated, if Martha turned out to be just there to make the Doctor get over Rose. It would be such a disservice to the character, who I really love and feel invested in. Gnah, this is want I meant above about being on hold - I don't know how to feel about this development and I've a feeling I won't until I see how next year plays out.
AHAHAHA Jack really is the Face of Boe AHAHAHA wonderful.
LOLS, Titanic!
