Like, I love this season to a degree that I have to judge myself for liking it *too* much.

Rory was great pretty much the entire time he was onscreen, too.

All the Moffat-penned ones were good, all the ones written by others were a bit balls.

Lodger was the best of those though.
I liked the characters, they were great, but the stories just weren't there and haven't been for ages.
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:53 (thirteen years ago) link
oh, and "Amy's Choice" was pretty great, too!
yeah actually I did like this season a lot
― Tina Tina Cheneuse (DJP), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:53 (thirteen years ago) link
The only one I really disliked was the Silurian two-parter.
― THX THO... (Nicole), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, forgot about Amy's Choice. I didn't think it lived up to its potential, but it was definitely decent.

Back to K-9 for a moment: how can this show be anything other than total garbage?
NO LAUGHING = NO K-9 THEREFORE ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ROBOT DOG AND HOW ABOUT YOU CALL IT ANOTHER NAME
In other news, I'm very much in love with Matt Smith
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:55 (thirteen years ago) link
"Victory of the Daleks" was the season clunker IMO
ARGH I HAD GOTTEN THE HATRED OUT OF MY BODY AND HERE YOU ARE PUSHING IT BACK IN KILL THIS BASTARD K-9 AND ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR

I want to be Sarah Jane in these credits, wearing legwarmers and drinking wine while I work. xp

Vampires in Venice and The Silurians were mediocre potboliers (also the new Silurian design was so bland!) The Van Gogh one was too slushy and manipulative, hello Richard Curtis.
― A brownish area with points (chap), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
aw I thought the Van Gogh one was nice. Nothing wrong with a sappy story now and again.
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link
it says a fucking lot that I can look at the K-9 and company credits and go "lol, that is so dated and terrible, yet still endearing *chuckle*" when the them song includes K-9 SINGING of all things
― Tina Tina Cheneuse (DJP), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link
K-9 paid his dues as a minor character & helping in adventures so the least they could do was let him sing his own theme song.
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link
As long as that doesn't happen in the Rory spinoff.
― THX THO... (Nicole), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Fairly vocally said I wasn't that impressed with this series, but it was better than maybe any of the DT ones (although there's actually a couple of really good eps in the Donna series, the first one is almost sub-Avengers).
I love A Girl's Best Friend, I really do. I have never managed to watch one of this series, despite the fact I have them lurking somewhere.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:08 (thirteen years ago) link
xpost I totally want Rory to sing his own themesong. Are you kidding?
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Leeson tells a story somewhere (might be on the DVD for that) about recording the theme song, that Ian had him in to say "K-9" twice and that was it.

ugh picturing
Really, Tennant/Donna and Tennant/Martha were way way better than Tennant/Rose, which is kind of a shame because Rose is great.
― Tina Tina Cheneuse (DJP), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh I saw the Cybermen episodes over the weekend with Rose in her alterna universe and I got SO sad bc I miss her terribly
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I HATED Tennant/Rose. I think RTD starting writing Rose completely differently than in the first season, and she became this lovesick little groupie. xp
― THX THO... (Nicole), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Rose was ballsy and great and I would fall in love with David Tennant too, who can blame her

Naw, I know a lot of people really liked them together but I could just never get into it.
I feel kind of bad for spamming this thread tonight but I have to work late by myself tonight so I really have nothing else to do but talk about Doctor who.

martha was the biggest waste of space since adric
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:19 (thirteen years ago) link
well the thing is at least with Martha was at least that was directly in the character from the beginning; with Rose it sort of seemed to pop in from nowhere and was kind of cruel and callous towards Mickey in the process
xp: OKAY NOW THERE WILL BE FIGHTING
― Tina Tina Cheneuse (DJP), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:19 (thirteen years ago) link
MARTHA WAS FUCKING GREAT, AT ALL TIMES, FOREVER AND EVER AMEN

new K9 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Martha
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Martha seemed a bit too meek or something. Like she never fully believed that it was even happening until RIGHT at the end and then where are you. Nowhere. but she was beautiful and she's an excellent addition to the Torchwood organization.
Donna was fun, I liked her, bc no worries about mooney eyes or falling in luff...and her family, old gramps and crazy Mum were fun. Like the old days with Rose's mum.
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:23 (thirteen years ago) link
But my favorite is still Rose. And I liked how she was with Mickey, reminded me of ppl I knew in my hometown who had been dating since godknows when.
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:24 (thirteen years ago) link
ugh rose's mum was the pits

RARRR BRING YER CHAIR AND YER LADDER, IT'S CAGE MATCH TIME.
Oh I quite liked Rose's mum, she was a recognisable type.

Amy Pond still drives me round the twist bc she's so flighty and sort of, bipolar or something. Fun, and strange and cute but also routinely want to strangle her

LOLWUT:
Bill Pullman (Ruthless People, Independence Day) has signed on to star in the upcoming fourth season of Torchwood as a regular. Pullman — who joins series stars John Barrowman, Eva Myles and the just-cast Mekhi Phifer — will play Oswald Jones, a dangerously clever convicted murderer who escapes his lifelong prison sentence on a technicality and quickly becomes a media sensation. Genuinely repentant yet boiling with lust and rage, Oswald gets caught up in a terrifying worldwide crisis.
― THX THO... (Nicole), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Weird.
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I am loling right now imaging Bill Pullman "boiling with lust and rage".

bit like dan with K9 and Martha
― Shakey Moe Szyslak (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 23:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't think I want Bill Pullman & Barrowman to make out. (And I am as a rule amenable to Barrowman making out with pretty much anyone)

They should bring back Spike from Buffy instead. James Marsters? Masters? that guy. Him.

I like this past season a lot. Victory of the Daleks was kinda crap (and also apparently written for Tennant)... but the weeping angel two-parter and the two-part finale were fantastic IMO. Thought the Beast Below was kinda dumb too, but it still had me in suspense.
What I love best about the season is that it did very little to resolve Amy's weird background the fact that her life just doesn't make sense. So that all has to still be resolved. Moffatt had us all convinced that her mysterious life had everything to do with the cracks but they were their own thing after all. Also the unresolved issue of someone in current day London trying to grow a new TARDIS....
Who could that be? My money is on Omega. He "died" in the 70s on Earth and if anyone would know how to make a TARDIS out of 20th/21st century tech it would be the original inventor of time travel himself. Assuming he got all that 'existing as anti-matter' stuff worked out...
