I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.
This episode is the ninth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called Forest Of The Dead. From the site: As the shadows rise, the Doctor forges an alliance with the mysterious River Song. But can anyone stop the Vashta Nerada?
Rehash before the credits
* Her doormaking gun is pretty fantastic.
* I’m glad she seems to be watching it. What channel is that? Is it where Agatha Christie was?
* Why is Donna being taken into this weird place? Is it the bin?
* Two years ago? What in THE hell?
* Is he the principal on Hexed?
* No more dreams about the Doctor?
* Hey look, CAL!
* Oh wow what is going on!?
* She’s fishing with him?
* Married? What the crap?
* Twins?
* Seven years!?
* He’s from CAL?
* What what? How did he become Dr Moon all of a sudden?
* Then you forgot? Oh lord. This is eight kinds of effed up. I LOVE IT!
* Is that how they all got stuck? All doing Matrixy “keep the fake world alive” things?
* I like her slapping him down a bit though. Another redhead putting him in his place.
* WHAT DID SHE SAY?
* Some hair dryers? Heh.
* Two shadows again? Oh crap.
* What is going on with Donna?
* Poor Donna. What now?
* What is with the skipping? Who’s that there then?
* Why would the little girl tell her not to go?
* Can anyone else see this woman?
* !!!! It’s the girl! Miss Evangelista?
* How is she going to help Donna? I hope she works it out!
* We did not come here?
* We come from here? Hatched?
* Spores in trees? BOOKS ARE PAPER FROM TREES!
* Oh how is he gonna manage this?
* You go Doctor!
* All the same children over and over…wow.
* That veil! Yow!
* Actually saved people. Ghosts in the machine.
* Oh this is going to be interesting.
* Why aren’t they supposed to tell?
* I’ve been dieting! Heee!
* I am brilliant and unloved. That’s so sad.
* One word? What is the word. Cal?
* Is Cal something particular? Ruin everything?
* How did she do that with the remote? No more dad? Yow!
* How does he know about Dr Moon and it is programmed to protect her?
* I know Doctor Moon is the actual doctor moon, but how does everything else correspond?
* “I bet I like you” “Oh you do.” Hmmm.
* I feel bad for Donna some more. I’m getting to see how she is at being emotional too.
* They aren’t real? They know they aren’t there sometimes? And gone? OMG!
* Self-destruct is bad news!
* What is going on with her house!?
* Computers don’t dream but little girls do.
* How does he know? How does he know who she is?
* This library is her life now?
* I feel bad for him, a little. Poor little girl!
* You just killed someone I like that is not a very safe place to stand.
* Look me up! Wow.
* OMG! She knocked him out cold!
* You know my name! Wow.
* What is the reason he would tell anyone his name? I guess I gotta look that up too.
* That poor man, how will she find him? He’s one of four thousand people!
* They were all saved? They are all surprised about it I bet.
* At least he found Donna.
* Oh no he was real and he was right there!!!! ARGH!
* And still he didn’t look? I wonder why not.
* I am still desperately curious about the screwdrivers that he keeps NOT keeping. WTF?
* Did you see him clear that book cart? WOW!
* Hang on Professor!
* WOW what did he do?
* He put her in the machine! Oh he IS very good.
* It’s a good place now? Good. Good for him.
* But how DID he make the doors open by snapping his fingers?
* That was a nicer ending at least. Nicer than some have been.
