Voyage of the Damned

DISAPPOINTMENT OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.


Ten was pretty ?

That's about the only good thing that comes to my mind right now, SADLY.

There was no plot, the secondary characters where UNBELIEVABLY irritating and the whole thing looked ridiculous about 90% of the time.

ETA : okay I *loved* Russell Tovey (History Boys <3) and the fact that his character was named Alonzo XD
He would have made a fantastic companion.
The rest of the characters were still rubbish though.


Astrid Peth was so BLAND, I just couldn't give a toss about her !
Oh Martha, your win is sorely missed.

And moments like the Doctor carried away by the angels and the flight of the Titanic above Buckingham Palace made me facepalm so hard I almost hurt myself.

I'll sleep on it and wait to see if a second watching makes it better, I really hope so.



Fortunately the series 4 teaser ROCKED like a ROCKING thing OMG.

I just want a mate !
You're not mating with me, sunshine.

AND THEY'RE SNOGGING !

I'm so thrilled that Ten and Donna are snogging that it almost erased the whole EPIC FAIL that was this christmas special.

I'm shipping them hardcore. *squees*



I think I'll have to erase all my Ten/Astrid icons now *shudders*


EDIT : I'm also all weirded out by the new music theme, thank you very much.

Dude I can NOT be shipping Ten/Donna. It's wrong enough that half the universe is shipping Ten/Astrid.

NO MORE SHIPPING.OMG.TEN IS A MASSIVE SPACE WHORE AND I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT.

This isn't what Who is supposed to be... maybe i'm just clinging onto the core values of Classic Who too much, and a bit of flirtation is all well and good... but must he really suck face with everything that moves?! That isn't Who.

But yes. Season Four trailer was HOT LIEK WOAHS. And the new theme music was also much win.

Otherwise though... it was a pile of rubbish and forced me to give myself a DOUBLE gin and tonic just to deal with the pain.

L'ep galere comme un malade à se dl donc, je le verrais que demain mais j'ai lu ton post parce que ton lj-cut m'a intriguée et franchement, je suis vachement moins impatiente là tout de suite. Bien sûr, j'ai ENVIE de retrouver Ten plus que tout!!! parce que Ten=MAJOR SQEE mais bon...

Comme Eph' ton post m'a intrigué donc j'ai lu. Et pfiouuu, mon DVD vient juste de finir de graver et now j'ai même plus envie de le voir -___-

Surtout que, comme tu le sais, je suis d'accord avec la commenteuse du haut qui dit que la dynamique Docteur/Compagnon doit être basée sur la profondeur de la relation et pas le potentiel snogabble - donc la perspective qu'il soit dingue de Minogue juste par principe me donne un peu la gerbe.

Anyhow, LES TRAILERS SONT MADE OF WIN INDEED!!! Tu as vu celui de Torchwood? Because : OH. MY. GOD ♥ ♥ ♥ !!!

It wasn't brilliant but it wasn't awful.

I thought Astrid was just Generic Companion, really.

Shame there was no plot cos then it would have been brilliant.

Also, Astrid/Ballacafatala FTW.

The new theme was shite. Diddlydums drowned out by the main melody? THE FUCK? The Who theme is all about the diddlydums!

But yeah. I was facepalming very hard at the same things, too. Cheesier than fucking Tinkerbell Jesus. Dear god.

Stop being an intergalactic slag with People You've Only Just Met, Ten. Just makes you look like a fucking twat.

This is why I want to wring Rusty's neck: For making New Who all about the fucking 'shipping. Jesus, dude. I wouldn't mind a little bit, but it just makes everyone look fucking stupid/inconsiderate/insane.

Well, I don't agree with you at all. I liked it. I didn't OMG love it, but I think it was not that bad. DT was hot as hell, the ep was kinda funny a few times. It was not the best, but not the worse DW ep. Yeah, I liked it, even if your review scared me last evening LOL
And, yeah, Astrid was not the best character evah (and this crush/flirt/kisses thing kinda sux), but I liked her. I don't know why, and I can't explain, but before to see it I thought I will hate her (because nobody can't stand in for Rose), but she was cute, not interesting or something, but cute. (but I'm glad she's not the new companion)

The special was complete PANTS. PANTS, I SAY.
