DW: Human Nature

[mrv3000]

• Okay, the opening minutes of the episode and it's already scored points with me. They were on the run and he needed to hide out and *that's* why the Doctor became human. Was worried about the reasoning.
  
  
• HA! John Smith is the most boring teacher ever.
  
  
• Bwahahahaha! The stairs! Whether it's the Doctor or John Smith, he just gets so flustered when it comes to actual relationship stuff. *pinches cheeks*
  
  
• Awww! John "invented" Rose in his fiction writings and drew her. *sniffs* And he drew pictures of his other incarnations. Very cool.
  
  
• Who's the kid? He looks familiar.
  
  
• Oh! These baddies are reminding me VERY much of the Axons.
  
  
• Chameleon Arch. Handy! :D Hmmm. Wonder if this might be how the Doctor winds up fixing Jack.
  
  
• OH GOD. JOAN IS A WIDOW. AND NOW THIS. That's it. I need some vodka. That kiss was adorable though. I mean, *adorable.* And was I supposed to notice that they scored that scene with a variation on "Rose's Theme" from the soundtrack?
  
  
• Oh, Martha. She always makes me so conflicted. She's doing awesome things - investigating, looking after the Doctor, charging into places and so on. But then they had to give her the line about the Doctor falling in love with a human that wasn't her, and it just comes off as a whine. *sighs*
  
  
• Okay, after the cliffhanger, I just cannot imagine that this will all be resolved 10 years down the road. So I'm thinking that the shots of the happy human life and the kids are a vision. It's still gonna hurt though. Poor Doctor. Poor Joan.

The kid is the kid from "Love Actually". Took me a while to place him!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Wow! And it's been just so long since I've seen that. :D

Awww, little Tommy Sangster!

I remember, after watching Love Actually that I SO wanted to adopt him as my little brother. *Laughs* He's that cute and lovely. Brilliant kid.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

He really is a cutie. :D

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

Ah! Thanks, I'd been wondering where I'd seen him too. :D

[rjrog77.livejournal.com]

I think (but am not certain) that he is also the eldest child of the family in Nanny McPhee

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey! I think *that's* actually how I know him.

I so wanted to smack her and shake her and hand her the 'he's just not that into you' book to read so that she bloody well gets over herself. Oy!

Yeah, has to be a vision coming from the kid, the only thing that makes sense. And the hurts just keep on comin' for him, don't they?

That they do. But I guess he got a couple-month break with some Joan kisses out of it.

I think you are absolutely right. It really did sound like Rose's Theme. It's not really surprising, as there seems to be a whole Joan=Rose analogy going on. (Frankly, I didn't think of it, but after having read some reviews and comments about it...)

I share your views on Martha, too. I like it when she's kicking asses and acting as a clever, brave companion. I very much dislike when they insist on her little girlcrush.

I'd seen someone post that they thought it was Rose's Theme before I watched, so I was trying to pay attention to it. And yeah, it was arranged a bit differently, but it was unmistakable.

It does seem like it. I haven't gotten overly nitpicky about it yet, but there seemed a few similarities.

Yup. To me she becomes really unlikeable in during those moments, and tends to cast a shadow over her whole character.

I liked this! John Smith was SO cute and I liked his thing with Joan. The book was the best idea ever! ROSE! I don't know what to expect from next week. Will he remember everything as if it had happened to him? If so...wah. More sadness.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You know, you bring up a point about not remembering things. He didn't remember being the Doctor (much) when he became human. Maybe he won't really remember being human when he's the Doctor. But still. Poor Joan. :(

And YES! ROSE! He's been writing fic about their adventures! :D And drawing Rose!

I'm in shock.

I actually enjoyed an episode this season, amazing!

Strangely I liked the 'and it wasn't me' line, I think this could be the kick Martha needs realise that it's just never going to happen whether he's a timelord or human. *fingers crossed*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Possibly. Although she could just think that the Doctor just needs to be back in his Time Lord state, have his memories and then he will love her.

[rjrog77.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on that one. I still think she's deluded if she thinks it'll be any different once he's a Time Lord again, but it makes sense all the same.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm fearful so. Because this is John Smith and so doesn't know any better. But once he becomes the Doctor again, he'll leave Joan behind and be with her, right?

well that's Martha's reading of the situation. I doubt it's anybody else's, Doctor included.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Right right. Exactly.
