Biggest chuckle for me was when the TARDIS said that she stole a Time Lord because she wanted to see the universe. XD

A lot of this was very fannish meta-y, with the TARDIS being in human form. It had moments I've always expected would happen between human!TARDIS and the Doctor, including the awww moments about them being able to talk. Unfortunately I didn't feel like the emotional moments struck the right notes for me. I was very meh about moments that should have made me sniffle. Seriously, I should have been wibbling about the Doctor and the TARDIS finally getting to talk, but I just wasn't. I've felt more emotion in places like The Impossible Planet when Ten lost the TARDIS than here.

Also unfortunately the rest of the time I was saying "huh?" a lot. The whole House entity was superfluous, as was the Ood, as was the Amy and Rory horror show. With, yes, Rory dying again.

It's clear I'm just not connecting to this show anymore. I think I'll give it a break and maybe marathon everything once it's over. We'll see.

The TARDIS becomes human...er well human shaped TARDIS ? Oh, I might make this the first 11!Doctor episode I watch. I've always wanted to see the TARDIS communicate with the Doctor.

The TARDIS is shoved into a human body.

erm, how would that work? Wouldn't the human!TARDIS die quickly? I mean Rose, she was going to die after only short time.

Or is this a "SHHHHH, don't think!" moment on the show?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, her body did fail pretty quickly, so...

AWWWW, poor TARDIS, she's abused...like a lot.

She needs a holiday. :D

I enjoyed it a lot while I was watching it, but I don't think it'll be the kind of episode that I rewatch.

The best bit for me was when Amy and Rory got to design a new bedroom and Amy was like "can we get rid of the bunk beds?" LOL. THE DOCTOR HAD PUT THEM IN A ROOM WITH BUNKBEDS.

HA! Yeah, I laughed at that. Eleven would totally do that. :D

where did you get the episode from? *eyes*

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I watched it on TV. :)

[identity profile] janetmaca.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you in the UK? Did you watch it Streaming? Or did you use the TARDIS to come back in time a few hours to go "haha Americans and Canadians, I got to see it before you"?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally used the TARDIS. ;)

[identity profile] janetmaca.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh cool. Can I borrow it? I'd like to go back in time and smack RTD for Journey's End and to stop him from handing the reins over to Moffat.

Just don't scuff the finish.

[identity profile] janetmaca.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Thanks. :D I'll be back in a jiffy.

Clearly the TARDIS was very jealous of that Nine/Rose kiss and wanted some sugar of its own ...

HA! XD

I'm trying to watch but I think I missed a line somewhere because I thought TARDIS were grown not built. Built from funky looking chicken legs actually! Am I missing the main plot of the story and hanging up on something unimportant?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
I...have no idea. XD

[identity profile] goatonacow.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I think TARDIS (TARDISes? TARDI?) are kind of cyborg-ish. Parts grown (as coral, I believe) and parts built. Like...a treehouse. Except the house is actually inside the tree...and it travels in time....


...maybe that was not the best metaphor.

He also wasn't just making a TARDIS completely from scratch, he was using parts of old TARDISes, so I assume all the parts have their own funky chicken leg bits already.

the TARDIS said that she stole a Time Lord because she wanted to see the universe. XD

BEST LINE EVER. :D

I loved that line!

I must be dead inside.

And HA at your text. :D

Oh shit. So that was the Neil Gaiman episode? (He's been on facebook being obnoxious about it all week.) I'm not sure I can watch Eleven just for a human TARDIS.

I...just...can't they call it some other show or something so that I can watch it and not have feelings about it?

[identity profile] katesutton.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
THIS. I wouldn't mind Eleven, Amy and River if not for Nine, Ten and the rest. It's just..not the show I thought it was. Or want it to be. OR SOMETHING AND I RESENT IT.

HEH!! It seems like most people adored it, so you could give it a try? Me, apparently my special Doctor Who place in my brain has died.

[identity profile] pluckyyounggirl.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, if you are dead inside then I am too. I tried this one ep because everyone was squeeing about it so hard, but mostly I was just a bit bored. :|

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
In a weird way, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[identity profile] pluckyyounggirl.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, but so am I! I was starting to question my sanity, and worse, my tastes. I'm so relieved the friend I watched with didn't like it either. So there's at least three of us!
