DW Rewatch - 3x12, The Sound of Drums

We’ve got David Tennant and John Barrowman. And now John Simm as well. It’s fangirl heaven, isn’t it?

As is usual, the baddie gets all the best lines, and Simm makes the most of every single one of them. He’s charming, funny and terrifying at the same time – totally unhinged and, apart from being a psychopath, rather awesome :-)

This is also the culmination of Martha’s story. I’ve come to like her more and more over the course of this rewatch and one of the things I’ve liked about her relationship with the Doctor is the incredible amount of trust he put in her, right from the word go. And that carries on right the way through the season – in 42, Human Nature/Family of Blood and especially, here. Yes, she was in love with him, which at first I found rather annoying, but fortunately, that didn’t stop her from doing all the things she needed to do, even the things which put him through sheer hell!

( It’s as if he’s mesmerized the entire world. )

DW Rewatch - 3x13, Last of the Time Lords

My last couple of recaps/picspams have got away from me a bit, so I’m going to attempt to rein this one in.

( We're the only two left, there's no one else. )

Yeah. Well, I did say attempt!!
