Doctor Who: The Poison Sky

[butterfly]

Three cheers for the Doctor realizing that Martha wasn't Martha because she wasn't worried about her family. Lovely.

Did I just see a familar face on the TARDIS screen before the Doctor's image popped up? *grins* That makes it seem more likely that there's something Bad Wolf-y going on, if she's appearing through the TARDIS.

Damn. I knew that they were going to kill Ross (especially after they pointed him out in the previouslys) but it was still painful.

Aw, Brigadier reference. Sweet. "Times like this," indeed.

Oh, the Doctor walking Donna through the Sontaran ship is really, really beautiful. He's being so gentle and apologetic, but absolutely unyielding because this is the planet on the line.

"Are you my mummy?" They really did have the Doctor say that. Hee! Also, another S1 reference.

The scene between real-Martha and clone-Martha was quite sweet and I liked her reclaiming of her engagement ring.

Oh, Doctor.

"I've got to give them a choice."

And then Luke... redeeming himself for being a very stupid genius.

And the TARDIS taking off before Martha can leave! Ooo, what's going on there?

ETA: "And I'm better for having been away." Yes, thank you. I was really thrilled to hear Martha say that. It counters what the Doctor said about destroying half her life.

Previouslies? *goes to rewatch that and hopes Doctor Who does not take after bsg*

Sorry! No lies, just lys.

That was one of my favorite bits.

The Doctor and Donna have a really beautiful thing. They make such good friends.

Yeah okay I need to stop watching BSG and sleep so I can read better.

*pets*

You know, I'm not sure if I've ever seen Fake!Previouslys anywhere but on BSG. They created something entirely new (it's also entirely stupid, but I suppose that they can't win them all)!

I hope that no other show does that, unless it's like The Simpsons for lols. Because then it hurts my brain and the canon whore in me is confused. Is it canon or is it not?

I know! It makes it so disorienting. But that kinda fits with BSG anyway, I think. They really went to very odd places in S2 and S3 (they are still going to very odd places, but in a more sense-making way now).

It mostly bugged me when they shoved plot development into the previouslys instead of writing them in the show. Even more so when they could have cut 'Black Market' as it had no relevance beforehand and was never brought up again.

Oh, the horrible black hole of suckiness that was "Black Market" (That is the one with Lee's Random Dead Love Interest who made no sense and where he's been randomly seeing a hooker, right?)

Yes and it also had the nerve to be boring as well as offensive. Cut that episode and inject plot points instead and I would have been much happier.
