• There are still milk delivery trucks in the world? With little milk bottles? Yes, it's a strange thing to start out an episode review with, but...MILK TRUCKS. This is a foreign concept to me and therefore I need to point at it. Milk truck! *points*
  
  
• You know, Rose has got herself some extremely kick-ass equipment. The alt!world is obviously ahead of the real world considering she can teleport wherever she wants, while Martha was using the only test model that pretty much had no directions.
  
  
  "We're gonna need a bigger gun."
  
  
  
• The gang is ALL here! (Martha's been promoted and is in New York, but everyone else is pretty much as we saw them last.) And they all have encountered the Daleks at one point or another. It's Very Bad.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• And how many takes do you think it took for DT to do the entire Judoon line? :D
  
  
  Translation: The duck quacks at midnight.
  
  
  
• So the Shadow Proclamation is the space police. HEH. Who office in...isn't that the hospital area from Torchwood in the episode where Owen fought Death?
  
  
  I could make a joke about the Doctor playing with balls, but that'd just be silly.
  
  
  
• Ooh boy. More sledgehammers of foreshadowing about Donna. It's just not going to end happy for her, is it? The woman was sorry for Donna's "loss yet to come." Also, another mention of Donna being different. "You are something new." :-\
  
  
  WHY must every companion who travels with the Doctor have their lives wind up in ruins? WHY?
  
  
  
• Oh, you knew what would happen the second the woman said the Doctor would lead everyone into battle.
  
  
  
  And the Doctor splits faster than when they'd tried to get him to resume the Gallifreyan Presidency...
  
  
  
• Harriet Jones, in a bit of "what the hell have you been doing all this time, and where'd you get the money," connects "anyone who can help." The Doctor's companions all get linked on video except for Rose since Wilf was without a webcam. So no one knows she's there.
  
  
  Well, with "Martha who??" by Rose, at least we know that Rose doesn't know everything that's been going on in the real world.

  You know, if I ruled the world, these phone chats would have already been happening without any world-ending crises. Just the bi-monthly Doctor bitch session...
  
  
  Doctor: Hello! Sorry to cut in! Whatcha all talking about?
  Jack: Nothing
  Sarah Jane: Nothing
  Martha: Nothing
  
  
• Oh, by the way, Davros is in this. Did I mention that yet? No? Davros is the nutjob who invented the Daleks way back when. For more details on Davros, please see "Genesis of the Daleks" and say hello to the giant foam clams, which relate to the story in a way I've completely forgotten about.
  
  
  You see this cat Davros is a bad mother-- Shut your mouth! But I'm talkin' about Davros! Then we can dig it.
  
  
  UNEXPECTED GIANT FOAM CLAM.
  
  
  
• Oh man. They would have to go and interrupt a reunion between the Doctor and Rose, wouldn't they? EVIL. But at least we got about 30 seconds of just...AWWWWWW!
  
  
  I love the look on Donna's face when she sees Rose first and knows exactly what this means to the Doctor.
  
  
  
  I think that's the fastest I've ever seen him run.
  
  
  
  
  AWWWWWWWWWWW!!
  ETA: And we have not seen that expression on the Doctor's face for 2 years. *SOBS*
  
  
  
  Even the Doctor's hair is OVERJOYED!
  
  
  
  And then RTD cackled over his keyboard while taking another sip of tea. Evil tea, most likely.
  
  You know, this reminds me a lot of "Bad Wolf" where Rose and the Doctor are running towards each other, but Rose was the one who got zapped that time.
  
  
  
  
  *SNUFFLES*
  
  
• O_O The Doctor is regenerating?? For reals?? If he's really really really regenerating, that'd be the biggest fake-out/secret ever pulled off! EVER. He can't really regenerate, right? It's why they left it on a cliffhanger right there. Maybe...since his hand is there, he'll regenerate into the same person. Hooray for the hand! :D
  
  
  Doctor: Think ginger, think ginger, think ginger...
  
  
  
  Rose: DO NOT WANT ELEVEN. KTHXBYE.
  
  
  
  Rose and Jack!! Now if only they could get 2 minutes to talk without major catastrophes taking place.
  
  
  
  I've determined that RTD likes shiny things.
  
  
  
  Wow, that suit will probably cut off all blood and air flow to the next body.
  (I refuse to believe he's really regenerating. He just CAN'T. Nope. Nuh uh. *sticks fingers in ears*)

ETA: There were so many good random little things in this episode I loved, but didn't cap. Like...Donna liking the looks of Jack, thank you very much. MWAH. And Wilf's "they always come for the women!" made me crack up. And Sarah Jane recognizing Davros - nice touch. And Rose chasing looters off with her big-ass gun. And Jack getting the code back to operate his wrist thingie. Another MWAH.

I'm sure I've forgotten a lot more.

But basically, so much awwwwwww at the running to each other. Which would be even more awwwww if it hadn't been interrupted.
