Doctor Who 188: "Voyage of the Damned"

Yes, my rips were misnumbered and I watched this Christmas special out of order. Oh well, it didn't spoil anything in season three or season four that I didn't already know about, so it's okay. Unfortunately this means I need to watch another Christmas special next.

Why are the Christmas specials always so chilling )

Anyway, I'm off to double-check my rips against the Wikipedia episode lists. Don't book passage on a ship named Titanic.

Doctor Who 177: "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday"

Some kind of switch flipped after "The Age of Steel" and suddenly I love Rose, despite her flaws. Which are definitely less glaring once she and Mickey acknowledge that they're over and Mickey decides to stay in another universe to fight the Cybermen. As one does. She still doesn't look 19 though, or even 20. 

Someday I might even come to terms with that )

Finally, I want to shout out the Doctor Who transcripts site I've been using, as David Tennant does not enunciate and my Blu-Ray rips don't pipe the sound mix correctly into my speaker bar.

Doctor Who 174: "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit"

This is a much more enjoyable version of the general plot of Prometheus.

The stuff of legend, or, Not today, Satan )

Doctor Who 172: "Rise of the Cybermen"/"The Age of Steel"

I increasingly feel like my starting with Ten did Rose a great disservice (as well as, obviously, Nine. Sorry, Christopher Eccleston! It's your lot in life).

I'm told they're the future )

Doctor Who 167: "The Christmas Invasion"

Is it me or is this episode wildly chilling?

No second chances )

6x10, "The Girl Who Waited"

Technically brilliant, narratively highly questionable.

Spoilers have learned to survive alone. )

6x08, "Let's Kill Hitler"

I watched this with two of the awesome housemates. Which was convenient, as we frequently had to pause the playback to howl with laughter.

Spoilers put Hitler in a closet. )
I also really want to know what the question is.
