Merry Christmas! Hope everyone's having a good one. Mine's sort of still in progress and actually I'll be without computer access for the next couple of days. However, I did catch the new Who special. Priorities!
Under the Ron Moore style of television, we know that it's been a while for the Doctor since Journey's End. He's been doing Doctor stuff, like...composing music for the Proms. The usual. But the important thing is he's actually cracking a smile! What does this mean??
Fairly quickly we're introduced to a new creature. Apparently the Cybermen have decided to make a cat. Because...cats are soulless creatures and therefore easily adaptable as pets by the Cybermen? Whatever the reason, you must remember that this is NOT some dude wearing a mask. Because that'd be just silly.
Meet The Next Doctor. They instantly get into trouble.
Earning a "you frickin' morons!" from Rosita. Already Rosita makes for a great Companion.
Is it bad that all I could think of during this scene was "OMG, DT's back!"?
Rosita has the power of teleport!!! Any mention of which seemed to have gotten cut out. Well, I'm assuming it's teleport as opposed to flight since she managed to get up a 3 story building at the same moment as the Cybercat. The Doctor could use a Companion with handy powers.
"Rosita. Good name." I'm totally claiming this as a Rose reference! \o/
They kind of had me going about possible regeneration from Ten to Eleven, what with the other "Doctor's" flashbacks, right up until this scene. They tried to keep it subtle, but I knew he wasn't the Doctor at this moment.
I just thought this was pretty, the red against the black and white.

Awww! [SQUISH]
Chucks shot! Oh, and sorry but your real name is Jackson Lake and you watched your wife die and then you absorbed my life. Happens more often than you'd think...
AWWWWWWWW! They showed all 10 Doctors! [LOVES]
"MEOW, bitches!"
"Damn! The Cybercat!"
Rosita is busy wondering why she's getting told off for smacking the evil woman when earlier the Doctor grinned with glee when Jackson exploded the heads of some Cybermen. Rosita then comes to the conclusion that the Doctor has a wildly fluctuating line of morality.
Did...did the Doctor just pull a sword out of his pants? o_O
AAAHHH!! HIS BACK!! Ahem. I mean, the Doctor saved Jackson's son! YAY!!
"Ray?!"
"I couldn't help it. It just popped in there."
"What?! What 'just popped in there?!'"
"I... I... I tried to think..."
"What did you DO, Ray?!"
"It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man."
Jackson: Don't you have anything to live for?
Doctor: No. RTD doesn't let me have shiny things. For more than 5 minutes anyway.
CyberKing: You're kidding me, right?
Balloon vs. Robot. And this is why DW is more awesome than EVERYTHING. :D
"Don't make me stop you. Really, don't. I have...powers."
"Pfffft. We have Cybercats. What kind of power could stop that?"
"How about the power...to move you. Oh, and glowing. Glowing pretty much signals your doom." [GLOWS]

It was a sunny day on Notal Five - perfect weather for the Cascading Dominoes Championships. After years of preparation, Steve was 5 dominoes from becoming his lifelong dream of Champion of the Universe (Dominoes Division) when a crackling glow lit the sky. He looked up with a "Hmm. That almost looks like the start of a transdimensional transport corridor. But that's only used on deserted planets--" WHAM.
The Doctor gets thanks. Awwwww. (The Doctor had "never" gotten any thanks before? Really?)
Companions just break his heart. WOE. (RTD, you are a bit of a bastard, aren't you?)
But yay! The Doctor's actually going off for Christmas dinner! :)
All in all, this was a fun episode! Pretty mindless, not terribly deep, but just fun. And not an anvil of angst! I think that requires drinking the whole bottle in the drinking game! [hic]
