Here come the drums...

  • Doctor: The Master and WIFE?? O_O (Bwahahahahaha! But who's Lucy? She looks familiar.)

  • Martha: Thought you and the Master might have been secret brothers or something. Doctor: You've been watching too much TV. *LOVES*

  • Holy buckets of backstory, Batman!!! Academy at 8! Initiation with the Vortex! Time Lord robes! (bwahahahahaha!) Okay, but the Master went mad and the Doctor ran away. Interesting. People will meta on that point alone for YEARS. But that *totally* fits the Doctor getting hives just being near Gallifrey. Well, that and the fact that Time Lords are dicks.

  • Jack finally admits he works for Torchwood. The Doctor's pissed, but it quickly passes.

  • Doctor: It's like when you fancy someone and they don't know you exist. *runs off* Jack to Martha: You too, huh?

    Awww. I keep kinda wondering if Martha's gonna jump ship in the finale. Her family is *messed up* because of traveling with the Doctor. And then she meets Jack who she finds out the Doctor just ditched and never looked back - a person who had that same love for the Doctor. Yeah, either jump ship at the end, or come to this epiphany of knowing all this – that she could get ditched, that her family could be compromised, the world could burn, and she'll still travel with the Doctor. She's just *really* gonna need to get to that place of being okay with the Doctor not being in love with her.

  • Ohhhhhhhhhhh. So Saxon's been around since the time of Rose, right? Remember how in Love & Monsters they had files on the Doctor, but for some reason the files on his companion were wiped out by the Bad Wolf Virus? Me thinks Vortex!Rose was trying to protect her family.

  • Heh. UNIT.

  • Oh, the Doctor wants to save the Master. Why do I think that this is just NOT going to end well?

  • Oh *SOB* The cloister bell on the TARDIS is ringing and ringing! Okay, seriously. I was sniffling. The TARDIS is in pain!

  • The Master with jelly babies. Heh.

  • Ball things: Is the machine singing? (WHY does this sound familiar? Something singing? OH! Huh. I think I'm thinking of the Gelth. They sang to Gwen.)

  • Ha! The music! *boogies* Night-club TARDIS! AWESOME. Yes, and now I must have this song. :D

  • Why exactly did Martha hop to the planet? (Oh God. I'm not allowed to make a "to update her myspace" joke am I? :-x)

  • Preview: Commando!Martha! See, *this* is the Martha I wanted for this whole series. Bring on commando!Martha!! Bring on the finale!

Ever since I found out what this episode was called, I've had that song in my head. I swear to God, when they started playing it I gave a little yelp of joy.

And then giggled for an age over the unintentional link it made to another fandom.

(Basically, the lead singer is also an actress, and the character she played really screwed with the marriage of a much loved couple in just about every way imaginable. So my reaction to her being involved in 'end of the world stuff'? "Yeah, that'd be about right...")

*raises hand*

Okay, I did. I'm only a little bit ashamed.

But. Yeah. Um. Yeah. (This is how coherent I am five minutes after watching. Impressive, isn't it?)

I actually really, really felt for Martha in this episode. Like - big time recoiling at the idea of Saxon and friends going after her family. I mean, poor Martha. There she is, having the time of her life, falling in love with someone who could be dangerous to her, and they go after her family. Sort of puts the unrequited thing into new light, doesn't it?

Okay, but the Master went mad and the Doctor ran away. Interesting. People will meta on that point alone for YEARS.

Haha. Best bit of the episode. And... Gallifrey backstory! *squee*

Okay, seriously. I was sniffling. The TARDIS is in pain!

Me, too. I can handle everything else that happened, BUT LEAVE THE TARDIS ALONE, DAMNIT. *sniffs*

Actually, my theory on that (since it first aired actually) was Jack did that. We know for sure now that he "took care of" Rose. And it's a subtle way to get the Doctor's attention.

Ha! The music! *boogies* Night-club TARDIS! AWESOME. Yes, and now I must have this song. :D

Me too! And honestly, who doesn't want to go the Master's Dance Party? On a shallow note, loved Lucy getting down and even more important, LOVED Lucy's shoes.

Why exactly did Martha hop to the planet? (Oh God. I'm not allowed to make a "to update her myspace" joke am I? :-x)

YES, YES YOU ARE!!! Because that's so why she did it.

Am still gobsmacked they used the Rogue Traders music in DOCTOR WHO. I mean... not something I would have seen coming! LOL

I loved the wife so much. She was in on it the whole time and not a dupe at all. It was awesome. And the Master seemed rather affectionately fond of her, too. Interesting, no?

Okay, but the Master went mad and the Doctor ran away. Interesting. People will meta on that point alone for YEARS. But that *totally* fits the Doctor getting hives just being near Gallifrey. Well, that and the fact that Time Lords are dicks.

I always pretty much thought this was the case. I mean, the Doctor is clearly the black sheep of the family - or at least the gray sheep, with the Master being the black one. Or something. Two rogue elements in the stuffy Time Lord society, of course they'd rebel. And I could swear, although this is strictly hearsay and I can't tell you where it was stated canonically, that the Doctor stole his TARDIS.

Doctor: It's like when you fancy someone and they don't know you exist. *runs off* Jack to Martha: You too, huh?

The Doctor's just completely, utterly oblivious sometimes, isn't he? I mean, I just winced for her, and well. You know.

I keep kinda wondering if Martha's gonna jump ship in the finale.

Yeah, kind of, "I'll save your ass and then that's IT." She's been through so much and when she found out her family was in danger she was kind of losing it.

Oh, the Doctor wants to save the Master. Why do I think that this is just NOT going to end well?

Tell me about it. He'll probably end up just pissing the Master off and making things 100x worse.

Ha! The music! *boogies* Night-club TARDIS! AWESOME. Yes, and now I must have this song. :D

Yes, awesome! But what IS it? I want it, too.

Why exactly did Martha hop to the planet?

Yeah, and why not Jack? The only thing I can explain it away with is Jack wanting to stay near the Doctor to try to protect him, but still. Jack's the one with the connections and such, even if most of them are in the Himalayas.

Yes, please, and thank you. And who is that guy with her, anyway?

Time Lord robes! (bwahahahahaha!)

I had a bit of a laugh over them too, although they looked slightly more stylish that I remember them in old episodes, maybe it was the lighting. Also, I can't shake the feeling that we're getting all this Gallifrey viewing as a lead up to the return of the Time Lords, which I don't want and don't think the series is ready for.

Jack finally admits he works for Torchwood. The Doctor's pissed, but it quickly passes.

Well, he quickly gets back to business, I'm not convinced he got over it. He seemed to accept Jack's "I did it for you," (and how much do I wish it had been "I did it for you...and her."), but he's not forgotten the way he sees Torchwood.

Doctor: It's like when you fancy someone and they don't know you exist. *runs off* Jack to Martha: You too, huh?I keep kinda wondering if Martha's gonna jump ship in the finale.

I can certainly see that happening after this episode. Pretty much everything that will change the way she looks at traveling with the Doctor even if she stays all hit at once, her family's in trouble, he leaves people behind, he doesn't fall in love with companions as a rule, it's Dangerous (with a capital D) to be with him. However this does make me feel somewhat more confident that if she stays next season (not that I want her to), we'll at least see the end of the unrequited love story.

Oh, the Doctor wants to save the Master. Why do I think that this is just NOT going to end well?

Because it obviously won't? He tried with the Dalek and that bit him in the ass. However the phone talk between the Doctor and the Master was probably my favorite part of the episode so I hope we see more of that in times to come.

The Master with jelly babies. Heh.

That cracked me up, they're really hitting the Master = Evil!Doctor angle.

Why exactly did Martha hop to the planet? (Oh God. I'm not allowed to make a "to update her myspace" joke am I? :-x)

Oh gods, she's going to isn't she? And really, even if Jack wouldn't leave the Doctor, he should have sent her to meet up with the TW gang in the Himalayas. Because really, what resources does Martha have on Earth right now?

I keep kinda wondering if Martha's gonna jump ship in the finale. Her family is *messed up* because of traveling with the Doctor.

I know... I just wonder if she'll decide that she's enjoyed the trip, thanks very much, but this isn't the life she wants. She literally saved the world and now it's time to go back and be the doctor.

And I can't help it, I kind of love the Master and his crazy psychotic groupie of a wife. The thumbs-up upon killing the cabinet was-well, whoever thought THAT one up deserves a pay raise.

[identity profile] elismor.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
So. Like. Is Jack back for good?

Did Tochwood the series go bye-bye?

[identity profile] pixiesio.livejournal.com 2007-06-24 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
So, um, had a thought about the Master and Torchwood. What if he was the one who gave them the tech that allowed the 'ghost watch' stuff? He would have been around at the right time. Then he'd be the one responsible for what happened with Rose. And then the Doctor would find out and take on a 'screw saving him' attitude and totally kick his butt. ;)

Of course, part of me is wondering if somehow the Doctor will be responsible for killing off Lucy. 'cause I just have a feeling it's not going to end well for her. And then the Master (who really does appear to have affection for her) would really go off the deep end.

Wow, I'm just so upbeat tonight, ain't I! ;P

I'm only awake enough to contribute three things about the episode:

1) I knew we'd get those silly Time Lord hats if the Master came back. I knew it. *drinks*

2) Noooo....OMG what'd he do to the TARDIS? It's...all red and in pain. I hate it when people hurt the TARDIS!

3) Lucy Saxon is kind of awesome. I love that she is all dancing and gleeful while people are dying. It's oddly adorable.

Jack finally admits he works for Torchwood. The Doctor's pissed, but it quickly passes.

Wouldn't be surprised if that came back later on in the next episode. I'm also thinking about what other big secret we haven't been told about concerning the Doctor and Jack (at least I think there's still one more big surprise to go for BBC)

Awww. I keep kinda wondering if Martha's gonna jump ship in the finale.

We're going to see what happens in the next episode. As others have mentioned this is a very good possibility... logically anyway. Like you mentioned Martha has to be completely okay with the idea that she can travel with the Doctor and he'll never fall in love with her, in addition to risking not only her life but her family's lives as well.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. So Saxon's been around since the time of Rose, right?

Would this be around the Christmas Invasion? Or a little bit after that? I think... I think that Saxon was mentioned in Series Two but I can't remember. Will have to check that out just to make sure. *is not entirely sure* The chance that he could have been involved, in some way or another, with the Cybermen increases in my head.

Oh *SOB* The cloister bell on the TARDIS is ringing and ringing! Okay, seriously. I was sniffling. The TARDIS is in pain!

The Master went too far, in my opinion, when he decided to mess with the TARDIS. I love the character, and his wife evil!Rose Lucy. They are just perfect for each other and, as someone mentioned earlier, know each other very well.

Oh God. I'm not allowed to make a "to update her myspace" joke am I? :-x

*crosses her fingers and hopes that Martha's myspace is not updated unless there's some kind of time difference between this episode and next episode.... like weeks/months not hours/days* Honestly it wouldn't make sense, and it would take away from the episode, if Martha found the time to update her Myspace friends about what's been happening.

Preview: Commando!Martha! See, *this* is the Martha I wanted for this whole series. Bring on commando!Martha!! Bring on the finale!

Yep! Can't wait for that episode and to find out about the mysterious guy that's helping her!!

I always miss out on adding anything since everyone says it all while I'm in bed, hah! All I can ask is that you'll do the same if Martha does update her Myspace :D

Oh, and I currently hate Wikipedia, I must admit I was waiting for Rose :(

I was sitting there at the beginning flashing back to many nights out at Uni and then they played Voodoo Child and I spazzed out so bad :D Glad that more people are getting into the song now!

I do not want to see her suddenly all military like with absolutely no warning!

now I must have this song.

Is it a real song? Or just incidental music? I ask as I now have the damn thing stuck in my head!

And you only want it so you can dance like Lucy. ;)

Seriously, I am very much hoping that next episode we find out who Lucy is. I mean, she can't be human (well likely not) because she seems to know way too much about the Master's plans - and he doesn't normally share those with members of inferior species. I hope we do find out something.
