DW: Utopia
- I'd seen the very beginning already, due to JB showing it on some talk show. But can I just say that I'm thinking it'd be a bit nippy in the Time Vortex? Doesn't surprise me that he wasn't hurt though – weren't they chucking people into the Vortex in a Six ep?
- John's name on the credits! Awesome. :D
- O.M.G. THEY'RE IN A STONE QUARRY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
- Oh! *sobs* Jack was tearing up when he was talking about Rose. And then they hug about her (*very* Bad Wolf-like). Aaaand Martha just continues to bitch about Rose. Glad the Doctor finally told her and Jack to shut the hell up.
- Jack running: "Ohhhh, I miss this!" Yes, can Jack join back up permanently, please? Screw Torchwood.
- Wow! The Doctor's back to loving humans!
- Oh man, I *love* the dynamic between the Doctor and Jack! It's a bit like how they left off. The whole "stop it" every time Jack shakes someone's hand. And Jack telling the Doctor he's supposed to say "sorry." Tossing things to each other. LOOOOOOVE. Seriously, I want Jack, please.
- No, really. Screw Torchwood.
- "Why you taking your clothes off?!" ... "I look good."
- Really.
- Nice! Finally answers about what happened in TPotW. Rose didn't die because she was human – a Time Lord with that power would have been badness. And oh... Jack watched Rose growing up at the Powell Estate. *sobs* The Doctor saying he can't get to Rose. And you notice the word he used about her? "Trapped." Not "she's happily living her life." "She's trapped there." I think that's the way the Doctor's really been looking at it all along. :(
- Jack and the Doctor – two immortals bonding over seeing the humans at the end of the universe. Seeing that will has made Jack (and I'm fairly certain the Doctor's of the same mindset right here) question wanting to die.
- Were those audio clips of the Master from the classic series? Pretty sure they were, although I didn't recognize them off hand. AWESOME. Also, just how many times has the Master stolen the TARDIS in the classic series? *LOVES* I swear they were either stealing or ripping parts out of each other's TARDISes every other episode the Master was in.
- Okay, the Master has regenerated into a cracked-out squirrel. I highly approve. :D
- And on a final note, for some reason I'm just kinda twitchy about the fact that the Master heard Jack and the Doctor talking about Rose.
- Final, final note - no, really. Screw Torchwood and bring back Jack.
- ETA: Oh, the bad guys and the actual plot? Pffft. Very very small and light. Bad guys were ineffectually cheesy. BUT, this was one of those weird episode where plot seemed really secondary. And also, this is the first of a three-parter, so basically we got the setup this episode. The plot was pretty much there to give Jack and the Doctor to get a bit of hope back in their lives by seeing humans' will to survive.

They were just...two pretty boys! And they fell so quickly back into that familiar friendship! The banter! The teamwork! YAY!
Well twitchy in the fact that I'm sure it's going to cause the Doctor angst, but you know, it means more Rose mentions which will be good, I can't get enough Rose mentions.
Well, more twitchy in the fact that the Master knows about Rose at all. Not sure how much of that conversation he picked up, or if he could infer something about the importance of Rose to the Doctor, but the Master's life purpose is to make the Doctor suffer. Really, any way he can. Meep.
no subject
The more I think about this, the more concerned I get. I mean, I don't think he was paying that much attention while it was going on - he was having memory issues - but I bet it'll all come back to him later. Eeep.
no subject
I mean, they could go very bad routes with it. Jack said he watched Rose as a kid - the Master could shoot off and kill her. Or grab her from before she traveled with the Doctor.
no subject
Yes, but what else can he do to him that hasn't already been done on that front? (smacks self for asking that question) And if he drags her back across the Void to torment the Doctor more, they are so going to kick his ass in between bouts of making out. It might even be the key to the Master surviving if he was responsible for making the Doctor beyond happy even if it was for evil purposes originally.
I am still left with my worry/speculation that the Master will play the "together we could rescue your Rose, but you have to do such and such" card, which...I've been pondering/worrying about since the speculation that Saxon=the Master first started to take off.
But it would still lead to ass-kicking in the end, Rose wouldn't let him sell the universe out for her (paging another round of "I could save the world but loose you" "Do it" and then finding a way to live and save the world, in Downing Street no less).

Mwah! Well, you never know! *frets*

I kinda have the feeling he was hiding from the Time War. It'd be a VERY Master thing to do - hide as a human so the Time Lords can't find him and pull him into the war. Sounds like everyone got drafted. (And they were quite good at pulling people back at will - pissed off the Doctor to no end.)

Yeah, that route too.
You know, the ending could have absolutely nothing to do with Rose, but yet I worry.

Or sacrifice herself again! *FLAILS*
no subject
Oh I meant this time around sorry. I meant the Doctor would be more likely to let him live if good had come out of his evil plottings.
Or sacrifice herself again! *FLAILS*
NOOOO. Don't even say it. No more loosing Rose allowed.
My more recent private wish, Rose and Future-Doctor (maybe Ten maybe not) show up, more timey-wimey bits and the Doctor get to know that he one day *will* get back to her. It also means the Rose that shows up doesn't stay thus not having to lock BP into the show next year but we do get at least part of a reunion.
no subject
Well, I'd be very okay with something in there of the Doctor getting some hope of one day getting her back. That way, like you said, BP wouldn't even need to come back to the show.
I could not deal if they killed Rose off or did something to shut down that avenue forever for him. Even more than the "walls have closed" that it is now, I guess. I don't know! I have irrational fear!
Oh boy. This is just like last year when we were all speculating that 1) Rose was going to die (wrong), or 2) that Rose would *choose* to leave the Doctor (even MORE wrong).
