Doctor Who: Aliens Of London
OMG EVIL, EVIL, EVIL CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!(1) etc.
-First thing: the line from the trailer at the end: ‘I could save the world…but lose you.’ GAH. Which pretty much says it all.
-Why did the Doctor keep calling Mickey Ricky, anyway? Probably doesn’t like him because he figures he took Rose for granted, but I won’t be surprised it if turns out to actually be for a reason. (My theory: Mickey took over Clive’s website, but used the name Ricky instead. And the Doctor knows. Er, somehow.)
-‘I don’t go anywhere without her.’ I’m not a shipper. I’m really not. (I have a feeling most of my most favoured ships began with those words.
-‘Is this relationship…sexual?’ ‘NO!’ *snicker*
-The supporting characters were really good in this one…that random Downing Street bloke, the girl at the hospital, Harriet-what’s-her-name…I think RTD’s strength definately lies in characterization.
-I liked the Doctor’s sympathy for the pig. It just makes sense- they share the planet after all. ;) Actually, Christopher Eccleston was really good in this one. There’s also that bit when he suddenly finds himself looking at a bucnh of guns…he grins sheepishly and then starts giving orders. Perfect. :D He was much more in control in this one than he was in Unquiet Dead.
-He shouldn’t have gone off without Rose, though. :p
-Ooh! Almost forgot…anyone else spot Matt Lucas? :D
My predictions for World War Three (the next bit):
-Something happens to Jackie. (Good grief, she’s only been in two episodes and been in peril in both.) Either she dies or…er…she doesn’t. Yesh. (I could go and look to see if she’s listed for any episodes beyond this one, but I’ll resist. For now.)
-Mickey redeems himself somewhat. (C’mon, you can’t be a cowardly klutz all the time. XD)
-Fandom explodes on seeing the trailer for Dalek. So does half the British population.
Ranking so far, from best to still good: End of the World, Aliens of London, The Unquiet Dead, Rose. (To be updated, obviously) ;)
Oh, and just before I go…someone at the BBC is having an insane amount of fun with this. ;)

MATT LUCAS WAS IN IT??? *rewinds tape immediately for rewatch* OMG EVIL, EVIL, EVIL CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!(1) etc. Ditto. I had this awful feeling that it’d stop when they were caught coming out of the TARDIS. Where it actually stopped was worse! (My theory: Mickey took over Clive’s website, but used the name Ricky instead. And the Doctor knows. Er, somehow.) Sounds plausible. He did say that he did some digging on the Doctor, it would make sense that he’d take over where Clive left. Possible fic bunny there. *prods* Fandom explodes on seeing the trailer for Dalek. So does half the British population. Are you kidding? I just exploded at “I could save the world but lose you.” I see a Dalek, the little bits that are typing now will explode! Anyone else feel that Saturday is way to far away??

MATT LUCAS WAS IN IT??? Yup, in the confrence between the Alien experts when the Doctor had taken over. My theory: Mickey took over Clive’s website, but used the name Ricky instead. And the Doctor knows. Er, somehow I’m agreeing with both of you guys, definately plausible. And likely. Are you kidding? I just exploded at “I could save the world but lose you.” I see a Dalek, the little bits that are typing now will explode! *joins in the double exploding*

I thought I saw Matt Lucas at first, but then I don’t think it was him. I can’t wait til next week. *storms the BBC and kidnaps the tapes*

-First thing: the line from the trailer at the end: ‘I could save the world…but lose you.’ GAH. Which pretty much says it all. *puts on the “NO SEX OMG!” blinkers* It’s like when he saved Peri with that bats milk omg! -Why did the Doctor keep calling Mickey Ricky, anyway? …cos it’s funny? -I liked the Doctor’s sympathy for the pig. Omg I LOVED that bit!

Eeep! Mr Piggy so did not die, no! Ahem. And, gah! Fandom will indeed be a bit scary after Dalek trailers, yes.

I’ll go with the theory Mickey took over the website after laughing at the BBCs who is Doctor Who site. “With the return of Rose, everyone knows I’m innocent. And she can tell everyone the truth about The Doctor. I hope she will, I really hope so.”

Oh yes someone is loving playing with Clive’s site. And did you notice at the bottom of the page is a message from M about how hard its been in the last year so that both does and doesn’t support the “Mickey took over Clive’s website” theory. I’m not a shipper. I’m really not. Protesting a wee bit much there I think, but if it helps neither am I. Nope not at all. *grin* S.
