Doctor Who: The Empty Child
Oh wow, I loved this one.
Been a pretty good week for my fandoms, hasn’t it? ;)
I loved Nancy. She’s terrific, and would have made a good companion. :)
I loved the gas-mask-taking-over-the-face bit…it was horrific but just the right side of unbelievable, y’know?
I loved, loved, loved the Doctor and the homeless kids. Especially him just taking the chicken and everyone gasping.
I loved the Doctor’s conversation with the Empty Child paralleling Rose’s conversation with the Dalek (that may me me seeing things that aren’t there, though.)
I loved ‘Who did you lose?’ and ‘I know the feeling.’ Actually, that last one ripped my heart out, in a good way. ;)
Rating so far: End of the World, Dalek, The Empty Child, Father’s Day, Aliens of London, The Uniquiet Dead, WWIII, Rose, The Long Game.
And I switched channels and saw the end of The Phantom Menace afterwards, too. :)

so uhm? who won? I mean, I saw it, but the only one that was halfway decent was Norway… Just couldn’t get myself to watch through the results bit.

Did you see the Making of Doctor Who that was on BBC 3 afterwards? It was fascinating! It was discussing all the effects used in this episode and was very cool. But I’m a dork. ;)

Ooh, you mean Confidential? Haven’t seen it yet…I normally watch it on the BBC website, being annoyingly BBC3-less ;) It’s good isn’t it?

OMG I SO MISSED IT! I saw some of it on my break at work and had to leave when Rose and that American guy were going out on the ‘balcony’. I didnt see much more : (((

Can you believe I was just staring at your icon trying to remember where I’d seen it before? Heh. ;) Didya catch the repeat?
