Strong contender for best Tennant episode ever.  Brilliant episode…here’s hoping RTD keeps it going for “The End of Time.”  The 10th Doctor deserves a grand send-off.

Holy crap! He’s out of control! I love it!

What a huge emotional shift from his earlier scenes with Adelaide. The compassionate outsider turns into the arrogant, power-mad invader.

Thanks, sjcaustenite, for watching it with me!

It was my third time watching it—freakin’ brilliant episode—glad to have “somewhere” to watch especially as I am currently snowed in.  Ha!

Snowed in?! Oh no. Water is patient. Be careful.

We’ll do this again next week, if you’re available.

Ugh—will be away for the holiday—won’t be able to watch until Sunday morning…unless I can find a way to watch it at my parent’s…hmm…if I get to watch it, I’ll be here.  And I’ll certainly be here for part II. grin

But here’s a nitpicky question. Didn’t anyone ask Yuri and Mia how they got from Mars to Earth without a rocket?

(I did like the casual reference to Yuri’s brother and his husband. Nice touch.)

I might be wrong, but I think there’s a reference to “the Doctor” in the faux-Wikipedia pages that flash up about them at the end of the show.

You’re right! Here’s a screen shot of the “Wiki” entry. I wonder if that will come back to haunt him.

Ha!  Brilliant—that’s what you get when you watch it three times, plus once with the commentary.  God, I have no life…
