kbkOh my fucking god. Doctor Who on the frikkin' telly. "World War Three". The things I could say. Can say. Will say.
My fandom blew up 10 Downing Street. Like, properly. Dude.
I liked that all the aliens are connected. Also was convenient way to remove all the previous tight spots.
I am sad that Competent Asian Man died, but if he hadn't then he would have known what to do, so he kind of had to go. Poor man. Note that as far as I could tell, Rose and Harriet jumped over his body to get out.
All of UNIT's alien experts are dead. That's probably a fair whack of the world's experts. Of course there'd be reports and what not to educate new experts, but still... *has bad thoughts*
Harriet's cool, with the going back for the Emergency Protocol and all. And. No, pretty much everything she did was cool. Especially the bit where she took charge. Along the lines of, "I am the only elected official in this room, elected by the people, for the people, and I command you to fire!" Eee. I want her as PM.
I thought they were going to do Jackie/Mickey. I am glad they did not. The man has a prodigious amount of pickles. But he also has STOP/GO signs on his walls.
Also he refused the Doctor. And then Rose asked, and the Doctor covered for him, which was sweet.
Classic Doctor escapades, "I don't suppose you'd believe the prime minister's an alien in disguise?" And "Don't do it in front of a lift."
The whole "Narrows it down" bit, especially Harriet having noticed that the farts smelled wrong.
"But he's got a Northern accent!"
"Lots of planets have a North."
The Welsh sergeant-or-whatever, running up to the PM's office, "Sir, there's a miss... Sorry." and runs away. And clears the street very efficiently.
RTD went a touch heavy on the political commentary, I think, the whole "weapons of mass destruction" speech - the phrase which caught my attention was "in less than 45 seconds".
The Doctor really ought to stop insulting the natives. Am not thick, bitch.
Joy.
Oh, just watch the damn thing.
Also, the "Next Week" bit.
It looked pretty cool to start with - alien museum, yay. And they're running around trying not to get killed. And the Doctor is angry. And then. And then! There's a frickin' Dalek!
Squeeeeeeeeee!
Now, I was watching with Kimmeh and we were in Mim's flat and we had the pigs and Laa phoned for post-mortem, so we just left the telly on. And it was the National Lottery quiz show. And it had little clips related to the questions. And third or so was from next week's ep.
Dalek.
Rose at the top of the stairs.
Dalek going up stairs!
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And then I went to Tesco and then I went home and by the time I got there my hands had gone all blue from the cold, which makes me think I took the lining out of my coat prematurely. Ho-hum.
Squee!
