Doctor Who: 4x01

[sophieisgod]

Random stream-of-consciousness stuff, because that is what happens when there is New Who.

Nifty music. Seems Murray Gold is back on his game after that slightly underwhelming Christmas special.
DIET PILLS ARE EVIL. I learned this in GCSE Biology.
1 million in London alone? That's a bit mental. That's like 1 in 8! Is that even economically viable, considering the high levels of inner-city poverty?
Hee, comedy Donna/Doctor 'just mising each other' shenagians LIKE IN THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE. For awesome.
It is still very weird for me, seeing Raquel from Coronation Street being evil. In a good way, I think. Yes.
You be health, I'll be safety. WTF?
TEE HEE, CAT PEOPLE. Ardal O'Hanlon is fantastic.
Nice gadget!
EWWW, that clip from Jonathan Ross!
CUTEST VILLAIN THING EVER, but very gross if you stop to think about it. You know that scene in Fight Club, where they steal the fat from the liposuction clinic? That's what it makes me think of.
Donna's mum kind of looks like Catherine Tate, which is good casting. And granddad is cool.
Awww, Donna. She's so much better when she's not being squawky. This quiet regret is lovely.
Meeeep, the Doctor talking to thin air. Lonely, handsome alien :(
Tee hee, reporter girl in the toilet. I knew it! Yay for fakeouts!
LOL, Donna's face. THIS IS AWESOME, WITH THE MIMING AND EXAGGERATED GESTURES AND SO ON.
"Don't you ever change?!" If there was ever a changing scene, I would want to see it. Just so we're clear. IF THE DOCTOR EVER UNDRESSES, WE SHOULD SEE THAT FOR DRAMATIC REASONS.
Tee hee, sonic pwnage! Foster is too cool for school.
"Hold on!" "I AM!"
LOL, cross!Donna remembers that adventures can be dangerous...
Awww, the grinning is adorable!
Both in far sides of the frame - I really love the direction in this episode!
NANNIES ARE SCARY. CONFIRMED.
MATRONS EVEN MORE SO.
Birth plan, premature labour, inducer... this is ridiculous! Win!
YAY FOR MARTHA LOVE! MARTHA IS INDEED BRILLIANT!
Tee hee capsuluar love! Donna FTW!
I really love Sarah Lancashire's lipstick. How random.
Aww, poor Granddad, missing the action.
Those little adipos kind of remind me of the spirits in Princess Mononoke. Cutie pies.
"That Martha must have done you good."
"Yeah, she did." LOVE.
Ohh, poor abandoned nanny. Like the dog in Peter Pan.
LOOOOL, HATBOX! Ohh, I think Donna and I are going to get along just fine.
"It got complicated. It was all my fault." NO, IT WAS RUSTY'S FAULT, BECAUSE RUSTY FAILED AT S3.
"YOU WANT TO MATE?!" Fabulous.
Ohh, she's all smiley and awesome.
WHAT ROSE OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS WHAT IS GOING ON OH THIS IS TOO MUCH.

JESUS.

WHAT?

Awww, Grandad, this is lovely.

PREVIEW! Yay for Peter Capaldi! THIS IS GOING TO BE IMMENSE! VOLCANO DAY, HERE I COME!

Okay, Rose. WHAT THE DEVIL DOES THIS MEAN? YOU PEOPLE TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW.

Man, I love how all my doubts about Rose coming back have just been eradicted. I'M A BELIEVER! AND I AM EXCITED.

ZOMG i just died of excitement should be an awesome serious. I got to watch David and the Friday Night Project last week and it just reaffirmed my love for him, he looked amazing.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

MY MIND, IT IS BLOWN. What, were you in the studio audience? LUCKY DUCK.

[alkalinegabi.livejournal.com]

Yeah my friend got tickets online, stage left side. He came up that staircase looking for people to do the arrow/wheel thing and he's so skinny and tall i died.And seemed genuineyl friendly with the crew and volunteers. I was too shy to ask him anything.

The 'you want to wait with me' but just had me waiting for her to add, 'what a fucking liberty' for reals though!

I really want one of those little baby aliens though, sooooo cute!

And I'm not commenting about Rose, because I'll rant.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

MAAAARTHA. Actually, Rusty kind of pissed me off when El Doc was all "yeah, Martha was awesome" BUT THEN THEY HAD THAT WHOLE HORRIBLE BIT ABOUT HOW SHE WAS TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HIM AND IT WAS AWKWARD. Ugh.

[curlybeach.livejournal.com]

OH. MY. ROSE.
I'm exactly the same, I was all *is dubious* and *will kill RTD if he fucks this up*, but as soon as I saw the back of her head, I actually screamed 'IT'S FUCKING ROSE!!!'. And then it was gone! I repeat - ROSE!!11!

As for the rest of it:
- How are animated blobs of fat SO CUTE?!
- Evil!Raquel for the lulz.
- LOOOOL, HATBOX! Ohh, I think Donna and I are going to get along just fine - DAMN RIGHT.
- I ♥ Donna, so freaking much.

Buuuut, again, Rose?! How is she doing cool-ass transporting between paralell universes? I thought she was trapped? No comprendez?!? *brain gone dead*

The Martha love was great. :D

Those little adipos kind of remind me of the spirits in Princess Mononoke. Cutie pies.
OMG, yes, they remind me of them as well! So cute.

I don't think anyone was expecting to see Rose at this point! Hints at a pretty major story arc for this season methinks.

IAWTP! OMGOMGOMGOMG!
Apart from that I still think the new theme tune is rubbish! :p

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

I MISS OLD THEME TUNE. I did like the jaunty 'antics' music at the beginning of the ep, though :)

I STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND. IS SHE JUST GOING TO POP UP ALL SEASON?

[bishwop.livejournal.com]

WHAT ROSE OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS WHAT IS GOING ON OH THIS IS TOO MUCH.

JESUS.

WHAT?

YUP. DITTO.

IS THERE LIKE A RIFT BETWEEN THE TWO WORLDS????????

I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

NEXT EPISODE NAO PLZ.

OMGGGGG.

[bishwop.livejournal.com]

OH AND THE GRANDAD COMPLETELY MISSING THE SPACESHIP BEHIND HIM MADE ME LOOOOOOOOOL LIKE NO OTHER.

[bishwop.livejournal.com]

*HAS ACTUALLY READ ALL OF YOUR POST NOW*

Is that even economically viable, considering the high levels of inner-city poverty?
LOLWTF? You are a freak. But the best freak ever XD So no offence.

You be health, I'll be safety. WTF?
Worst. Pickup line. EVER.

You know that scene in Fight Club, where they steal the fat from the liposuction clinic? That's what it makes me think of.
OMG NO. YOU'RE SO RIGHT. *HAS NIGHTMARES* THAT IS DISGUSTING.

I hope you weren't offended by my freak comment. ILU REALLY.

I looooved Donna's miming faces. LOOOL.

IF THE DOCTOR EVER UNDRESSES, WE SHOULD SEE THAT FOR DRAMATIC REASONS.
YES, YES WE SHOULD.

LOOOOL, HATBOX! Ohh, I think Donna and I are going to get along just fine.
LOL!! YAY FOR DONNA/SOPHIE!!

i AM SO PUMPED FOR VOLCANO DAY!!

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

STOP YOUR LAUGHING. It would have been funnier if I'd added a ! after the ?... BUT IT IS A VALID POINT. DIET PILLS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE! And even out of all the people who could afford them, I have a very hard time believing that every single one of them would therefor buy the creepy pills. RUSTY THINKS PEOPLE ARE STUPID.

Bring on Pompeii, baby! *uses Rome icon to get in mood*

Donna/Sophie?? You do realise that Catherine Tate is possibly old enough to be my legal mother? SHE IS NOT ACTUALLY 14, YOU KNOW. :p

[fair-terentia.livejournal.com]

SQUEE. MASSIVE SQUEE.

[lalumena.livejournal.com]

THIS EPISODE AND THE CUTE LITTLE FAT BUBBIES OH I LOVED IT SO. OH WHOOOOO, HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU WITHOUT EVEN REALISING.

Diet pills ARE evil. You hear the most terrible stories. Enough to scare me away, no worries.

I really liked how Catherine Tate played Donna. Feisty but not too much. Not 100% sold on her angsting after he left but it was mostly believable.

That scene of them talking through windows, the parody of 42? HEE.

AND HOW COULD I FORGET. POMPEIIIIIII. FORGET VOLCANOES, THAT EP MAY MAKE ME EXPLODE WITH GEEKISH EXCITEMENT.

I want to know why Martha is all wet and slimy in that S4 preview...?! And ROOOOSE. :)

[kippkate.livejournal.com]

I love Grandad! (Although she calls him 'Gramps' which sounds weird and American to me)
I loved he got his UFO sighting after the first one had been taken away. And I welled up when he said 'Go on girl!'. Nawww.
