I watch too much TV
-Donna didn’t quite win me over in The Runaway Bride, but this episode conclusively proved she is simply made of awesome. Also, her interaction with her grandpa might just be the cutest thing ever (as was that little wave at the end!).
-As soon as I heard ‘magic diet pills’, my mind immediately went to the scenario where the weight loss doesn’t stop and people just waste away…why yes, I have read Stephen King’s “Thinner”. Of course, this being Doctor Who, what actually happened was absurd with a side of creepy…the creepy mostly being tempered with the WTFness of it all.
-I’m not familiar with the actress playing Ms Foster, but she can definitely give menace in an extremely civilized way.
-Yes Doctor, you were a bit of an ass to Martha. Mind you, it would have been better to aknowledge that to her face, but I’ll take what I can get.
-How does anyone still chose to live in London in the Whoverse? And why were the crowds screaming at the sight of the spaceship? It’s certainly not a novel experience-“Oh, random aliens spreading chaos, must be Tuesday”.
-So, Rose. *settles down for a long, wanky season*
-Holy shit, they actually *went* there. Oh, Tosh! And Owen, I suppose, but between not caring for the character very much and the suspicion Mr Zombie may still turn up again, I’m broken up over this one. But-TOSH!
-As much as I enjoyed James Marsters as Captain John, I hope this doesn’t turn into a regular gig. We already have one oversexed American Time Agent on the show, you know? As a reoccurring character though, I could see the potential.
-PC Andy continues to amuse-moar of him, plz!
-I must say though, for all the emotional heartstrings being pulled with the Big Deaths, the episode itself failed to deliver. I mean, the Grey storyline was like something a newbie fanfic writer delivers on their first, not-so-successful attempt at darkfic. Surrounded by corpses? You don’t say! And I suppose the HORROR of it all tragically left you with an inability to emote. (Seriously, how do some of those actors get WORK?)
-MY SHOW IS BACK, YES IT IS!
-Honestly, I’m sure people have criticisms of the episode. Some valid ones, even. But right now the critical part of my fannish thought process has shut down entirely, and I spent an hour squeeing at everything. STARBUCK! Final four! Tigh continuing to be amazingly compelling, and when the hell did THAT happen? Anders getting hotter by the minute! Tory….wait, I kind of always thought of her as a robot, so no surprises there.
-Baltar both grosses me out and fascinates me. No change there, then.
-Athena interrupting the Chief and Anders’ Cylon existential freakout=comedy gold. Maybe the Chief can borrow her copies of “Ways to a better, more compassionate Cylon you” and “Your hybrid child: because your baby is literally a miracle”.
-Roslin and Starbuck, ZOMG, is it next week already?

Couldn´t agree more about the acting uh "quality" displayed on TW. But then Gray, the Big Bad, the ubervillain had about 5 minutes screentime and 3 lines to deliver, so I guess his range was meant to be limited. Did anybody really give a shit about his past and current schemes?
So we are left with the three lovebirds now. Great. Now let Captain John join the team and they all can fancy Captain Jack at their little group meetings. Maybe they make little poetry albums where they rave about his awesome jawline or something. Can´t wait.
Doctor Who was the opposite for me. I loved every minute of it. Donna was great. Love her, love her with the Doctor and can´t wait to see more of the screwball comedy they have going.
How are you doing btw.?

LOL! Meow! ;) I sometimes forget how snarky you can get...ah, the days of our old chats in MM's chatroom.
Doctor Who was awesomecakes indeed. This season will be great!
I'm good. Actually, seing your comment after Maribeth's motivated me to FINALLY get off my ass and post in FOV. Just in case you guys had written me off entirely. :P
