grimorieIt seemed liked the re-thread of End of the World from Martha's assertion that she ran off with the Doctor without thinking, to the Face of Boe, to the you have me speech and forcing the Doctor to talk about his past.
But what I did like was Ten talking about Gallifrey, describing it the way he did. And end shot, that look on his face. Oh... Doctor.
I liked the gag where the extras looked like famous paintings and I even thought that's what is happening, those people are transported to the past as paintings. Oh, well. Although, the last four words of the Face of Boe, while affecting wasn't really much of a surprise: You are not alone.
With Ten repeating, I lost my family does that mean the Master is really his brother? Or this is another Time Lord altogether?
Really did like that they redeemed Novice Hame, I liked her in New Earth. And Ten likes cats again, yay!
Martha has some awesome moments: the rebound comment, ripping out the patch, grabbing the gun and the submarine movie moment but oddly, I wasn't as engaged with her. I don't know why, but she felt... flat somehow and the 'I hardly knew him' moment felt off especially when she went on about trusting the Doctor and I'm trying not to compare but with Rose I'm always compelled to watch her reactions and instantly engaged whether its irritation or fear or love I felt it. Maybe next episode? I hope so I like Martha and have said in some instances that I love her but it hasn't tipped the scale of pure fannish love yet so I'll wait and see.
Oh, the next episode with the: 'They always survive when I lose everything' thing oh, Doctor...
ETA: Almost forgot to add in... at one point in the episode the Doctor's incidental music (is that the right term?) sounded very much like the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. What is that about Murray Gold? Are you trying to make us equate Ten with Captain Jack Sparrow? Or, ooh, is that a reference to our Captain Jack Harkness? Or maybe Captain Jack Sparrow will make an appearance?
