grimorieGuess what's back?
That's right Doctor Who!
First off-- I really like Donna, some of the things that happened during the episode had shadings of Doctor Who S1 and Catherine Tate sold Donna from the get go, the searching for something more feeling, which I confess is something I relate more to.
They also addressed the torny Martha issue, unlike most of Who fans I didn't blame the Doctor for Martha's feelings for him, nor I her. It happens, sometimes, that someone falls in love with you and you don't feel the same way. I don't believe just because they feel something for you that you have to do the same. I'm glad the Doctor addressed this off the bat -- he just wants a friend.
The main plot though was rubbish.
What am I forgetting? Oh, yeah -- ROSE is BACK! And apparently with POWERS! OMG! Is RTD finally addressing the Bad Wolf issue? Is he finally acknowledging, that yes, there were consequences? Squee!
DUDE. I thought I was feeling meh for this show and they find new ways to pull me back in!
Torchwood
I was very spoiled for this episode but I did tear up, and they did find an actor who was uncannily like John Barrowman. A little too much like him because the Gray kid cannot act. And good God, they made me really care for Owen and tear up for him, but for Tosh most of all, who was so underused but kickass. Also Gwen/Rhys? So awesome I love them together. Gwen continues to be awesome.
And could Jack be anymore Angel/Doctor-ified?
