Quick thoughts on DW 4.02

[heidi]

Tiny spoiler for TW S2 finale, as well as, obviously, for this ep of DW.



That's not a spoilery cut-tag thing - that's the truth. While I was watching DW this afternoon, a storm started developing outside my window, and if there's one thing I can say about DW that nobody could ever take issue with ;) it is this:

When the skies are darkening and thunder is rumbling during the last fourth of the episode?

DO NOT WANT.

Apart from that, I have so so so much Donna-love. This episode really broke by heart - I think they did a fantastic job of showing and making us feel for the complete destruction of thousands of lives and families; seeing the Doctor dealing with this through and impacted by his memories and thoughts of Gallifrey were just...

It was heart-wrenchingly well done. I cried - I cried more than I did over the last episode of Torchwood, actually.

I am so glad that Donna made him go back to save the family - and I can't wait to do some vidding with those Household Gods - it was adorable.

Off on an icon hunt now...

Dear John Barrowman:
You are dorkier than I ever thought possible! And I love you so much for it! Filking! So woobie.

Huh. Does this mean that John kripke-d my vid?

It is made of win and awesome. Donna totally endeared herself to me even more this time. Way to be human girlfriend.

I love Donna lots and lots.

OMG I love John Barrowman more than ever before! That is sooo awesome and lets go with the story that he saw your vid :D

Much Donna love here too. The differences between her and Rose/Martha is great. She is so much more of a peer for him than the others were, which is exactly what he needs.

Isn't he just the bestest filking geek-boy ever?!?!?

If he were 20 years younger he'd be doing the doctor who version of WROCK.

Gah, I know it's normally verboten to even wish the actors could see one's vid but I really, really do want him to see this. I want to ask him whether he knew about Boe and the plot of S3 when he sang it in November of 06. Because....

Oh, the song is perfect. And he *knows* it's perfect and I am flailing!

I just spent a good three minutes watching your icon repeat itself.

That is some SERIOUS PRETTY. :)

And that's just the visual.

When there's audio, and their Scottish accents....


flail.

Flail = UH HUH.

Gads, they're pretty. I cannot get enough of that shot of Tennant with his forehead against the window.
