OH EM GEE.
Utopia Spoilers Liek Woah.
Is it just me, or is DW on a STELLAR home run? First Human Nature/Family of Blood, then Blink and now this?
I can even forgive such clunkers as the Dalek eps and 42, this stuff is dynamite.
First things first:
OMGYAYSQUEEYESYESYES JACK IS BACK.
It's official: Captain Jack Harkness is bring sexy back.
I cannot possibly love that man any more than I do now. Torchwood was dire because Joh Barrowman can't do serious-guy leading man stuff. As a sidekick, he positively sparkles.
He woke up and flirted with Martha! And Martha doesn't mind. In the words of my friend Hannah: "I bet you don't, you saucy minx." I shipped Martha/Jack even before they came on screen together. Oh how right I was. Martha/Jack/Doctor = OT3 FO'EVUH. Bonding over the Doctor's shortcomings- well it had to happen. Plus Martha's line, "Oh she was blonde! What a surprise!" was so spot on. They both know that they're second best, noly now thee's two of them, and only one of the Doctor, oh what larks :P Also, how wonderful is it to have Jack realising that he actually wants to live forever? Maybe it'll kick the Doctor out of his endless wallow in self-pity.
I didn't even mind the Rose references particularly. I mean, I knew thet were coming, and all, they couldn't just miss it out but oh Poor Martha! *sings* Poor Poor Martha-aa, what you gonna do? Things look bad for you, oh what you gonna do? *ahem* Enough of that.
Ok, let me revise that. I wouldn't have minded all the rose references were it not for the bloody illeterate shippers at time_and_chips. They have decided that the Master coming back (more of this in a sec) means that Ten can now open the void and bring back Rose. Besides the fact that the Master would, yeah, obviously, help the Doctor to get back a past companion, cos it's not like he ever tried to kill him or anything, there's the other issue. Let me see, how loud can I shout this? SHE. IS. GONE! THIS. IS. NOT. HER. SEASON! Martha, a very fabulous and kick-arse companion is HERE and having real emotional problems. I think it's really sad that, just because she represents the remote possibility of him, oh I don't know, moving on. Oh, and they all think that Martha is going to betray the Doctor because, as one shipper put it, "he dusnt seem to like her much". Fuck's sake. [/end rant]
But Jack! JackjackjackjackJack! Flirting with anything that moves! Oh yes, that's my captain. And hey, emo!Jack and emo!Doctor make such a smouldering pair, don't they? That convo in the radiation room, that was litarally hot as hell. my friend Alice, who doesn't even watch DW spent the whole episode mouthing "SLASH!" at me. Yep, she can mouth exclamation points, she's just that good. And the whole, "Doctor." "Captain" thing, oh yay! And when Jack was all, "So I'm your responsibility now, that makes a change" and "You abandoned me"! So needy, and I love it! Serious issues to be resolved *demonic grin*
And now, coming on to the MAIN issue of the ep, THE MASTER RETURNS! I guessed that the Professor and Mr Saxon would be past and present versions of the Master but I only twigged a few seconds before it happened that he was gonna regen into John Simm. Speaking of which, EVIL IS SEXEH! Oh JS, I love love love you. "Ooh, new voice! Hello hello hello!" Funny, that's just what I was thinking. Oh I love how we now have Hot Young Doctor to match Hot Young Master, the parallels are just lovely.
Plus, the whole thing with the Master using the fob watch, like the Doctor did makes Family of Blood even more brilliant. How CLEVER! How wonderfully, beautifully clever. And no TARDIS = well and truly stuck. My bet is, they go to Utopia and it gives you whatever you want, because Utopia is such a subjective idea, and they get a means of transport to get back home. And then, SHOWDOWN.
And I know I always go on about how Christopher Ecclestone was the truly intense Doctor, etc, but David Tennant finding out that he wasn't the last Time lord, watching the Doctor's world crumble beneath his feet was just...well, you saw it for yourselves.
About next week: bring it on.
When it was over, my mate sarah who DOES watch DW but was being very blonde and confused pulled a big WTF face and asked me to explain so I leapt up, paced manically about the room, overblown by the sheer amazingness of it, clawed my fingers through my hair and delivered my explanation at break-neck speed, finishing with a resounding, "So you see? Isn't it FANTASTIC?" Whereupon she looked at me and grinned and went, "You are just like him." Second time someone's compared me to the Doctor. I feel rather special.
In other news, it's my birthday today and I am 17 at last. Bring on the driving lessons! Plus I got ever Mighty Boosh DVD ever plus Jamie T plus a compilation CD of so many brilliant songs and a friggin Dalek card that talks and says, " It- is- your-birth-day. You- must- cel-e-brate or you- will- be- EX-TERM-IN-ATED!"
I'm pretty chuffing happy.

My thoughts exactly. If they bring her back ever, which is unlikely, fine, but dissing Martha The Wonderful WILL NOT BRING HER BACK. Ugh.
I wish my friends would mouth "SLASH!" at me. I wish my friends knew what slash is. I wish I had proper friends.
But also, dig the complete and utter slashiness of Doctor/Master.
And I really hope they don't bring Rose back. I mean, I really like it now she's gone...plus the shippers would be unbearable. And it would make her "special" or "speshul") in a way that they claim she is and I don't agree with.
Alice is my slash friend. She can find slash if two door handles are touching.
I did really like Rose, and if forced to rank, I suppose I'd put her above Martha but only because I know the character a little more (Martha is still completely awesome, obviously). But I wouldn't want to bring her back. She's had her time and now it's Martha's.
I think many people don't realise that it's possible to be a Doctor/Rose shipper without being completely unbearable. I have come across some shippers who don't act that way, and I'm pretty sure they exist.
And I did really like Rose while she was there, just now we have Martha, and Martha is fan-flippin'-tastic. I just disagree with the idea of putting her on a pedestal and claiming she was his one twoo wuv etc etc and that no companion will ever be good enough for him ever again.
I don't have the time/energy to repsond in detail to this awesome post right now - but I probably will at some point!
In short:
Martha is awesome.
Jack/Doctor - TEH WIN.
Jack in general - *dies*
Tennant, Barrowman and Simm on my screen ... FANGIRL EXPLOSION. OMGOMG, SO MUCH HOTNESS.
Oh Jack. Jack Jack Jack. I do not protest either ;) He'd do anything that MOVES. Snd he calls it saying hello. Oh, bless.
And Tennant, Barrowman AND Simm? I am dedded and gone to Fangirl Heaven. Martha's a lucky girl.
repost because i broke html with lack of >
I didn't even mind the Rose references particularly As I was saying to a friend, they work because we've got Martha to be annoyed with! And they avoid offending the Rose-heads by letting him forget her, while we can totally empathise with her. She was brilliant. Eurgh, I knew I axed time and chips for a reason.
That convo in the radiation room, that was litarally hot as hell. And it was also wonderful because they could NEVER have had that conversation properly face to face without it being all yuck, character-wise. It was SO good.
I was being totally thick re: the Prof's identity and didn't get it for ages, (although still before my family, they got it THE NEXT EVENING when I explained it). But here goes conciet - it was nice to be surprised as I hate drama I can predict. So yay stupidity caused by eyeliner application during telly watching.
Second time someone's compared me to the Doctor. I feel rather special. OH MY GOD that happened to me last year. It started with 'ooh, hello' as I walked through a door in May and got worse from there. Stupid infectious Doctor. Keep it up, brilliant fun. And the funny thing was, I tried denying it and my friend went 'Now you sound like Mac!'. Less so this year, but that's because I keep nicking Noel F's speech patterns instead. I've gone wrong. :D
it's my birthday today and I am 17 at last. Bring on the driving lessons! Plus I got ever Mighty Boosh DVD That was me a month ish ago and I got exactly the same and was 17! Freaksome! (Although I'm lazy and only just sent off for my provisional, whoops)
Re: repost because i broke html with lack of >
Oh and "You've gone wrong" is now a permanant fixture in my vocabulary.
I really should axe time_and_chips too but I like being amazed at the stupidity of the posts.
