Babble-type stuff.
- You know what's a bit disturbing? That they really went the deification route with the Doctor this series, especially in the finale, and it was *coupled* with him descending on this very dark path. That's rather freaky. o_O I'm kinda hoping Donna will be able to keep him humble since the more godlike he becomes, the more disconnected and weird he gets. (Hmm. Maybe the deification and the dark path are a bit related...) ANYWAY.
The Doctor: Come to me, my children, and believe. For I bring a message of forgiveness and hope...
Donna: *slaps on the back of the head* That's for leaving your wash in my sink again!
The Doctor: Donna! Not in front of humanity!
Donna: Hello, humanity! Pink underpants on this one. Seriously. - When you add blue food coloring to whipped cream, it just turns kinda green-grey, even after you add a lot. So I've got a red, white and green-grey cake for the BBQ tonight. Oh well.

I want some of that cake.

It would be nice to think of it snapping him off the dark path, and would even make sense, except for the part where there was no visible process of that sort whatsoever. *sigh*

That was *exactly* what it should have been, in fact I think it was probably what I was expecting but I can't say that for sure. Getting the whole world to say "No" at once would have been so much better. And much more in keeping with what Doctor Who has taught us in the past, that it's "a better way of living your life, that you just let things happen, you make a stand, you say no."
But that's what you do when the story is how we can all become gods, this story was about the deification of the Doctor. I like the Bad Wolf message much better.

And then I realize a couple hours later that I've gone and left out the like most important word in the quote, you *don't* just let things happen, etc etc. Feeling like an idiot now.

I still smirk every time I think about that.
and agreeing with whoever it was who said it would have been so much easier to buy if the one word had been "No!").
HA! And I'm still confused. Wasn't what he wanted to say to the Master "I forgive you"? But he did say "one word," right? Maybe we just pick whichever word we like best?

This last episode really was a jumbled mess, wasn't it? I mean, could we say that this event "cured" him? Or did it make him worse? On that god-level, he's probably got his faith in humanity restored. It's all...reciprocal or something.
But on a personal level...he *almost* had a purpose in life again. Don't think it would be all sunshine and wacky adventures with the Master locked up in the TARDIS, but he was talking about having someone to care for. The Doctor practically jumped at that - he'd have a reason to go on by becoming the Master's jail keeper. And then the Master faked his own death since he did NOT want to fight over the bathroom in the morning... On that personal level, he's still fairly gutted.

He said he wanted to say "one thing" to the Master. Martha told people to think "one word" at the appointed time. Which is yet more with the sloppy -- you really shouldn't have two threads like that running through one episode. :-/
This last episode really was a jumbled mess, wasn't it?
Yeah, pretty much. *sigh* I really, really wanted to like it. The first 10 minutes or so felt so cool. And then it all dissolved into Rusty's huge mound of crack. There were scattered moments I liked, but the whole Jenga pile was just...yee.

Oh, that's right. And yeah - one word, one thing...

I was just so bouncy after Sound of the Drums, and then, like you said, it just went off weirdly.
Of course, now I'm sitting here trying to apply god-type mythology to Doctor Who. Martha's obviously a disciple/apostle, but I'm wondering about Jack. Some sort of fertility god? ;) Oh, or Hermes. Or...god of grunge and chains and looking pretty while does nothing in the finale except give a dramatic reveal.

Oh man, I was a little iffy on Donna next year but now I want her here SO BADLY.
PINK UNDERPANTS! *sporfles*

I think I really am psyching myself up for Donna, just because after the ending to the Family of Blood, I'm thinking the Doctor desperately needs to be slapped around on occasion.
no subject
...Well, now I want cake, and there are no bakeries open at midnight. That is totally unfair. This country needs more all-night bakeries.
The Doctor: Donna! Not in front of humanity!
Donna: Hello, humanity! Pink underpants on this one. Seriously.
*snickers* I totally love Donna, because as much as I love the Doctor I still like seeing him get slapped around, and she's good at that. The only thing I'm worried about is how fantastically oblivious Donna was in TRB. I'm hoping that's changed at least a little. (I think I sort of want a companion who figures things out two steps ahead of the Doctor, runs off to solve everything and gets into major trouble. But then I remember that Rose did that, and I am sad. *sniffs*)

THAT'S WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE! *FLAILS*

That it does.

Good. Point. And you had to go and start reminding me of things about Donna I wasn't all that wild about when I watched TRB before. Maybe they'll up her street-wise-ness? But she was a bit like that college friend that gets drunk a lot and does really stupid things, but you love him anyway (as a friend) because he's got a good heart and is fun. I'm assuming everyone had a Brian in college.

*sniffs also* And Rose was quite good at keeping him humble. "Dig that New York vibe!" Mwah.

At the time I didn't mind because Donna was one off, and "you missed two huge alien invasions?!" was funny. It's less funny if it happens every week. But I bet the events in Runaway Bride made her a little more aware. (And now the Doctor can tease her about missing yet another invasion because of that whole lost year thing.)
Heh. She's totally a Brian. Or *cough* a Suzie.
*sniffs also* And Rose was quite good at keeping him humble. "Dig that New York vibe!" Mwah.
Hee. And awwww...
no subject
Every week? Yeah, that'd get old. But right now I am suddenly so amused at the thought of the Doctor dragging Donna out of an alien pub. "Don't puke, don't puke, don't puke...NOT THE SHOES!" And another pair of red ones get chucked in the bin...
(And now the Doctor can tease her about missing yet another invasion because of that whole lost year thing.)
Mwah.
