He's into Musical Theatre!

Hee!

Another fab Doctor Who - but then I love the Daleks, so anything with them in is alright by me!

This was the first of a two parter, so the pace could afford to be a bit slower; the Doc and Martha arrive in New York during the depression, when the Empire State Building is under construction. 'Down and Outs' are disappearing to no one knows where...

Meanwhile, there are strange pig-men-creatures inhabiting the sewers, where the Doc finds some really ickky looking green slime - which turns out to have originated on Skaro.

There are only 4 daleks left, but as the doc says bitterly later on, "they always survive". The pig slaves turn out to be the results of genetic experiments undertaken on those of lesser intelligence. (Bites back comment about some of the kids I teach...)

And the daleks have come up with a way to evolve - the scene in which the architect is sucked into the dalek-sek was fab - the kids were all "eeeeeeeew!" whilst watching intently! Exactly what Doctor Who is all about!
And I loved the final scene with the emergence of the Dalek/Human hybrid.

Lines of the night -

Oh, he's into musical theatre!

and

You can kiss me later... Frank too, if he wants to. heh.

Usually, these two parters have a blinding second ep, so here's hoping next week is no different. Flying daleks! Woohoo!


ETA I didn't post about last week's ep, because I didn't see it until later in the week, but a thought - the Face of Boe said that the Doctor "is not alone". Presumably, he means there's another Time Lord out there. Well... isn't The Master a Time Lord, too?

Icon love!

Pythons + Daleks = WIN.

Not really sure how I felt about this episode though. It's actually the first one I've managed to see with the new companion, and... Is she always that annoying? *makes face*

David Tennant, however, is wonderful. *fondles*

Yeah, I'm not all that struck with Martha right now - I know people are going on about how different she is from Rose, but I can't really see it. Although of course, back in the old days ('cause I'm old enough to remember them!) the companions/assistants were sometimes pretty 'samey'... *waits for Jack to come back!*

Go watch the second ep though - the Shakespeare Code - that was great!

Hello there! I would very much like to join your Torchwood community captainjackshub. Alas, I don't know any of the current members, and the Community Info states that this is the only way to get invited to join. Would you consider bending that rule and allowing a fellow refugee from the other TW communities to join? If you'd like, I could add you to my journal so that you can assure yourself that I am not, in fact, going to spam everybody with bad fanfiction!

Well, the fact that you can spell and use proper punctuation is definitely in your favour!!

Apply to join and I'll approve you - you can have a look around and see if it's your sort of thing (I take it you're over 18?)

Okay, you're in.

We tend towards the snarky, so be warned! :)
