don't blink? remember that?

So despite the fact that the Morrisey plotline was easy to work out (though I give them props for having Ten figure it out before the 20 minute mark, because seriously, I had it at like ten) and the cybershades are basically mops with metal masks and Optimus Prime tried to destroy London, I enjoyed it. If you think about it, it's not really much more cracktastic than Voyage of the Damned was. The Jackson/Doctor dynamic was fun and Rosita punching out red dress lady was A+, even if it was pretty much the only thing of notice that Rosita did.

I also think it might be the second least angsty Christmas special thus far, which is rare. WHAT? A CHRISTMAS DINNER? SRSLY? NO HANDBRAKES? REAL SNOW THAT IS NOT THE ASH OF SOME CORPSE OR OTHER SIGN OF DESTRUCTION? WHAT? Of course it was tempered by some nice use of x-treme Doctor Who-style angst and the implication that the Doctor has nothing to live for, but still, turkey's basically the happiest we've had since Christmas Invasion, so I'll take what I can get.

Um, I've got nothin' else, really. IT AMUSED ME, that's all I ask.


To the less geeky of my flist, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

But, but...she was supposed to re-awesome Torchwood *sniffs*

I think Torchwood is pretty much beyond saving, but I do want Martha and Mickey on it. I haven't heard ANYTHING about Mickey being there or not, and if he's not then ... like... what was the point of him staying in that first universe anyway? LIRL Unless he like, hangs out with Ten sometimes, but that seems unlikely. I guess they could like, hate on Handy together, but...

I can see Ten and Mickey sitting in the TARDIS with their backs against that cosole thingy, beers in hand with ahuge amount of chocolate between them, being like "ohmigod I hate him soo much I mean who does that guy think he is? His hair is so stupid." "Yeah, his hair is stupid. Stupid clone with his stupid hair..."

Mickey would be like WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT ONE HEART, I AHVE ONE HEART AND SHE DIDN'T SEEM VERY IMPRESSED and Ten would just be like STUPID GENOCIDAL CLONE STEALING MY WOMAN AND 'SPLODING DONNA'S BRAIN :| :| :| :|

meanwhile Rose, Handy and alt!Donna live bamf-ily ever after

I love this show so much, omfg.

When I bought season 2 and 4 yesterday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY/MERRY CHRISTMAS, ME) my dad was like "what did you order?" and I was like "...*mumble doctor who mumble*" and he goes "man, who would've known you'd be so into sci-fi..." and so I was like 'IF IT'S ANYONE'S FAULT IT'S YOURS"

Yeah, it's his fault that you're going to die maturbating to sci fi....
