real-timing it, baby

[kbk]

So, I'm at the sisters, and thankfully they also wanted to watch. K is planning on buying herself S3 DVD soon.

I knew, from the trailers and things, but I still think it's a bit of a cheat to have it not be the Titanic we thought it was (i.e. from 1912... though he should have met Nine, then, I suppose.)

We just had trifle. Mmm.

Oh, hell, who is that guy? I recognise him. *frowns* The Captain... Maybe the midshipman, too.

"Did they tell you why it was famous?" Heh.

Hey, it's that doctor from Casualty!

Those angels are sodding creepy.

Also, the Doctor is being a bit creepy, himself.

"The Great God Santa, a creature with fearsome claws, and his wife Mary..." *blinks* *blinks again* That whole speech. The whole...

*cackles* It actually makes sense, that everyone gets the hell out.

Oh, dear. Captain is gone bad... oh, poor lad...

"Information. You are all going to die." Hee.

la, la, laaa, destruction and chaos... whee!

And now the angels are even creepier. Uh-oh.

Oops, bye-bye steward.

Oh, he's doing the comforting thing. The thing he does with companions.

"That's a spaceship?" "Oi, don't knock it." "It's a bit small." "It's far away."

Halo turned chakram! Coolness!

Oh, god, they couldn't just risk the folk on the ship, it has to be the whole sodding planet, yet again...

One. B... Two... "or that little i v they put in footnotes" Good speech, Ten. I like it. I like it quite a bit. I hope someone copies it out. And how long have we had a... constellation... for Gallifrey? Constellation as seen from where?

Aww. They're quite sweet, really.

So are Astrid and Banacafalatta. "You can buy me a drink first."

Uh-oh. Kitchen five. "Ha-ha-ha. You're so dead," says K.

Mrs Golightly's Happy Travelling University and Dry-Cleaners! Hee. Aw, poor man. He could stay on Earth, couldn't he? The Doctor could fake him up a mental certificate or something. {Later thought... he's saying pretty much what the Doctor says, later, about travelling etc... so the Doctor ends up... where? Alone.}

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, poor Foon.

Please let there be a host on the other side to kill that asshole. Even though he's making sense, in a way.

Hmm. I seem to remember a similar effect at the end of the last series.

Little red dude! Oh yeah!

Oh. Oh no. Oh, Banacafalatta... "Did good?"

Oh, hell, they've got a crappy attrition rate.

Astrid would be a cool companion. And hey, she actually wants to go, which is better than some. Hah! Go, Astrid.

Hey, he gave the girl the weapon! Nice one, Doctor.

"Stowaways should be arrested and taken to the nearest figure of authority."

"Take me to your leader. {beat} I've always wanted to say that." And Astrid kicks ass! Creative thinking, go!

I thought Max was creepy. He's even creepier when you can see his wires... Oh shit, of course he's got a back-up control centre. "Let the Christmas Inferno commence!"

Hah! Oh hell yeah! Forklift! Oh, crap, slow-mo... Oh, damn it! I liked her!

And that would be our hero shot, stalking moodily through the flames... And our Christ pose. And angels. And... what the fuck? And... they're... what!!! "That's so cheesy!" cries K.

"Allons-y, Alonzo!"

Ha! Oh, they just had to, didn't they? They just had to. [But his security code still works.]

Oh! Oh, what? OK, that's entertaining.

"Unsinkable, that's me." So, should we call him Molly now?

Oh, please. Ohh. Oh. Ow. Oh, that's sore.

Still an asshole.

Ha. Oh, I called that one.

"They're all at war with the continent of Ham-Erica?"
"No. Well, not yet."

"A million." Of course. And the conversion rate means the five thousand credits... is not much, so I guess, on Stow... sounds like they were working for a pittance, if that. Huh. *raises eyebrows*

"Presumably they spent their entire budget on Kylie Minogue," says G. But I liked it.

Hey, did I just see James Marsters in the Torchwood trailer? Um, yo!

Tommy B. And I cheered that they still kept the nonsensical constellation bit cause I am lame like that.

[kbk]

Really? Wow. I did not know that. And I guess I can forgive 'constellation' if it is an Old Skool ref. *bows to your knowledge*

The thing I question is how willing he is to shout out where he's from. Didn't Martha have on hell of a time getting the Doctor to tell her where he was from, if at all? I'm quite drunk so don't remember the episode where she tried to get him tyo reveal all.

[kbk]

Um. Maybe? (far from sober, self) But she would have asked, and asked, and those people were just strangers and he was doing a dramatic speech and they wouldn't remember and he didn't care. Or something.
