So, the planets aligned.

STOP USING LINES AND ELEMENTS FROM S1 AND S2 EPS. *ahem* Okay, got that out of my system for this week. Tune in next week.
Kinda nice seeing poverty as an issue on Doctor Who. Well, "nice" isn't the right word. Usually in Who it's other kinds of issues. Or it's normally not this up close and personal.
Oh, the American accents. *PINCHES CHEEKS* ETA: butterfly's telling me that the main supporting cast were played by Americans. Hrm. Must have been the different *kinds* of accents they were trying to pull off then.
HELLO. The Dalek said its planet was destroyed in the war. But...didn't Seven destroy it back with the Hand of Omega? Of course, maybe the Daleks consider *that* as part of the war. Wouldn't surprise me if that's what set off the Time War. ETA: Actually, it would make a whole *lot* of sense if that's what set off the Time War. A Time Lord just blew up their planet! You think they'd sit on their metal bumps after that?
Soooo...I can't really get anything from Tallulah's speech about her boyfriend leaving the single rose every day as a sign and keeping hope that she'll find him again, right? Where she talks about how her heart is breaking but the show must go on. *GOES MAD*
*laughs at the comment about musical theater and *that's* why the Doctor isn't into Martha* And somewhere Jack perks up, knowing something very good was said somewhere in the universe.
"No. No no no no no. They survive. They *always* survive when I lose everything." And he looks so bitter when he says that. :( *PETS*
HumanDalek! BWAH!! Now, you'd *think* that depth perception (aka two eyes) would be on the list in creating this new warrior-like race.
But hmmm. Wonder if this can be related to the Doctor being the last of his kind. Maybe that's why you haven't seen the Doctor going off and shagging the universe in order to make the Children of Gallifrey continue on in whatever form. There's just not this Dalek need to perpetuate the species in a "MUST SURVIVE" way.
Overall it was an okay episode. Not horrible but not OMGWATCHRIGHTNOW.

Can't wait to see this one. And they actually shot part of it in the US.

Ahhh, the high budget episode!

I still think he needs to go find the other child of Gallifrey - Susan. But in this present incarnation I think it might look a little too kinky. A young Ten and a Not-so-young Susan. Now that would really confuse Martha, wouldn't it...

Did they? So hard to tell what's real and what's not nowadays with CGI.

Ha! Yeah, don't think he's mentioned his age to her yet.

Ha, yes, I didn't bother not trying to get anything out of it. I mean, there's a white rosebud, waiting there for her every night. I just went... 'Oh, Tallulah is the Doctor a bit, here', and embraced the parallels. She reminded of him several other times in the episode as well.

Loved the two slashy Doctor references, very cute. And Jack would be thrilled.

I mostly loved the episode because I really loved Tallulah, Frank, and Solomon. Fun characters. Also, the Doctor continues to break my heart.

Yeah. Seemed like a pretty obvious parallel to me. :)

Wouldn't he? He'd get this huge grin. :D

They did have a rather great supporting cast, didn't they?

Also, the Doctor continues to break my heart.

I know. :(

Aw, don't be bitter, Doctor! I can totally see why you would be, though, what with Gallifrey and Rose and Jack and Rose and everything and did I mention Rose? I'm really into the Doctor's emotional well-being here. Not so much with the companion. I don't know what it is, why I cared so much more about Rose in a short time. I'd really like to be more than mildly partial to and amused by Martha.

*PETS THE DOCTOR*

(*and throws Rose at him for good measure*)

I think I'm beginning to warm up to Martha in this episode. Well, first episode she was cool and awesome, but in a very "the perfect companion" way. Then started coming the unrequited love stuff which made me do a lot of this. :-\ All the while I didn't really *get* her yet. But in this episode she does quite a bit of "WTFPOLARBEAR" and trying to find the nearest exit. Which, I gotta say, would *totally* be me. :D (Plus she seems to be starting to get a clue about the Doctor "liking" her, so YAY!)

Yes, thank goodness, we seem to be seeing the end of Martha's oblivious crush. She can HAVE the crush as we all likely would, but emotional awareness is good. Of course, this probably means that the Doctor will start to fall for her now.*hides* NO, I never said it!

I still like her well enough, but I dunno, I was more into Tallulah in an episode than I am with Martha. She reminds me more of the old school companions I've seen, where they have some characterization, but they just aren't as well-realized as Rose, Mickey and Jackie were.

Of course, this probably means that the Doctor will start to fall for her now.*hides* NO, I never said it!

Ha! Not a chance.

I was more into Tallulah in an episode than I am with Martha.

Okay, I was a bit too. :-\

OH WELL. This is clearly a sign that Rose is SPECIAL. She gets the heavy-duty characterization!

Ten/Frank....you know it's meant to be ;) I don't understand why the Evolved Dalek has one eye either, that's a pretty crap species right there!

Don't know if you've ever seen Futurama, but it's *totally* as if Leela and Zoidberg had a kid. :D

The part where he says they always survives when he loses everything - brought a lump to my throat. I swear David does his best acting when he's quiet - he doesn't need to go all yell-y and icky but quiet and deadly is beautiful.

Yeah, his yell-y bits? Really don't do anything for me. It's when he's quiet and still that you see the most from him.

:o You're a genius!
