YAYITY

That fangirl's gathering ? WAS TOTALLY MADE OF PURE WIN.

We didn't sleep at all (except for [livejournal.com profile] angeliksmall who abandoned us at 1 pm because she has NO STAMINA) so I'm pretty knackered right now but almost too much to actually go to bed XD

Last night's DW got various reactions from the group and while it was slightly less awesome than the last two, I liked it a lot.


I was a little worried that Helen Raynor wrote this one but it turned out much MUCH better than Daleks in Manhattan.

MARTHA'S RETURN WAS FABULOUS AND EVEN EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS \o/
She was all wise and mature and kicking arse... Until she fell into the sontaran's trap but I didn't mind because HELLO THAR EVIL!CLONE MARTHA. YOU IS V. V. V. HOT.
I *adored* her interactions with the Doctor. There was a nice dose of awkwardness at first, arguing and happiness to just be together again.
And I loved how Donna and her just clicked instantly and how she ended up giving her advice.
UNIT on the other hand, didn't do much for me in this which was disappointing, if not very unexpected. Hope it'll get better in the next one, though.
My favourite scene is definitely the exchange between Donna and the Doctor when he thought she was leaving for good XDDD He's SUCH a drama queen.
We had lots of great character moments but very little plot. It was just a set up for part 2. But those character moments totally made it worth.
The sontarans looked even sillier than their old school selves but you can give RTD credits for respecting a lot of the original stuff like their weapons, the design of their pods and the vent at the base of the neck.
Loved the little stunt with the tennis ball that the Doctor pulled off btw, that was so cool XD
The episode was over very quickly and I was quite frustrated by the time of the cliffhanger. So it was either a hit with me or I felt this way because the proper plot never developed in the first part and I kept on waiting for it to do so.

ANYWAY, I LIKED IT OVERALL.

EDIT : Yeah well UNIT did a little for me afterall because yes, I wouldn't mind some Doctor/Ross fics either like, AT ALL. *NOMS*

Freema was also adorable in the confidential <3
I luff her PASSIONATELY.

*off to crash in bed for a couple of hours*

Dude, I was just reading a really squee harshing review and your comment notification popped up and it totally made things better 'cos I knew you'd have great things to say.

Anyway, I agree with you pretty much 100%. I want Ten/Martha/Donna and Ten/Ross pr0ns. Stat.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but what I thought was my favorite part of the episode was a Donna moment (because I hated her with a passion, but she's grown on me a LOT!):

"And I'll take a salute."

It's now my second favorite because...

"It's you!"
"Oh, you!"
"What, you two have met?!"
*Doctor and Gramps shake hands*
"Oh, alien hand!"

I just &hearts Gramps with everything I have and they better not off him...

Now am I right in thinking that Martha is engaged to the doctor that took her to see the woman that ultimately sold her out to the Master in "LOTL"?

Merci encore pour ce we^^ C'est vraiment sympa (même si je ressens encore les affres de la nuit blanche LOL).

Pour ce qui est de DW, j'attends le prochain pour pouvoir me prononcer. (mais j'ai beaucoup aimé le retour de Martha. Elle rocks)

BTW, on a commencé les Black Books (la saison 1 est done), et c'est génial!! Par contre ton dvd (le un, je ne sais pas pour les autres on ne les a pas encore essayé) a un gros problème. Je ne sais pas si tu l'as déjà regardé, mais on a dû arrêté de le regarder sur le lecteur dvd et le mettre sur pc parce que c'était impossible de le regarder avec. LE menu marche pas et le dvd passe son temps à faire des arrêts/reprises de qq secondes :S :S

Bref. Merci encore, pour tout.
Bisous^^

I loved it so much! And Martha even more if that's possible! Looking fierce and friendly- i'm so glad that she is still the old Martha at heart. And thank god that she and Donna clicked! That was my one major desire and i just flailed with joy the whole way through their meeting!

And the Doctor was hilarious this episode! All the scenes in the Rattican Academy were great. (incl. tennis ball powaz! :D)
