The Bananaverse

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 eleventh episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called Turn Left. From the site: As Donna’s world collapses, she finds help from a mysterious blonde woman – but can Donna and Rose stop the approaching Darkness?

* Someplace Asian. Hmmm.
* I love watching them enjoy themselves! Lovely!
* Where is she off to?
* Your future predicted? She’s happy now! Hooray! You know, or not.
* She can see a man. A remarkable man. That’s true!
* What the hell is that scrabbling clattery noise behind her?
* This is weird, watching the flashbacks.
* What if you go right? She wouldn’t have anything she has now.
* OMG SOMETHING ON HER BACK! From the Roman episode?
* Don’t do it!!
* OK fine, but only because I love a good alt.timeline tale!
* Christmas eh?
* Is that blonde woman her friend Nerys or whatever her name was?
* She can see the bug sorta but not…?
* OMG the Christmas star is the Racnos spider thing! And she’s missing it!
* She was supposed to be the middle of that and now she’s a spectator.
* Something on your back? That’s EXACTLY what they told her in Pompeii!
* Found a body? Who what now?
* OMG! Screwdriver? Doctor? Regenerate? NO NO NO NO!
* Don’t do this to me Russell T Davies you terrible man!
* Who to the what now? But she’s….
* She looks a LOT different now. Sounds different too. Did she get freakish giant horsetooth caps? I guess we’ll see.
* She turned her head and they were gone. ??
* Sacked? Oh I. Don’t. Think. So.
* And there goes the hospital with Martha in it.
* His name is Morganstern? Like Rosencranz and GuildenSTERN?
* Martha died? Oh I don’t think so.
* Aliens! I LOVE THE GRAMPY SHOW!
* She gave up on Donna? Oh noes!
* And Sarah Jane is gone now too? That one survivor wasn’t her?
* And there’s Rose! Rocketing out of nowhere? WTF?
* Oh yes, giant megacreepy teeth.
* Use the raffle? How does she know? And how did she end up there? And why was it blue behind her?
* Grampy is wearing not one but TWO pair of antlers. I love him! Have I mentioned that?
* What’s on the BBC? There is a thing on her but there isn’t but there is?
* What IS she saying? I certainly can’t tell.
* Annnnd there’s the Titanic!
* And it did not work this time! No Doctor to save it and now it went wrong. This is sad…
* I’m supposed to be out there selling papers…
* Wow, who knew the left turn would make all that happen? Really makes you wonder.
* I feel like we’ve seen this street in Leeds before…
* What a nice man he is, trying to make the best of it.
* What? Dissolved entirely into fat? I TOLD YOU THEY SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!
* Grampy looks thinner, and Mum is about to go round the bend I think if she hasn’t already.
* Again with the no bees! That’s bad mmkay?
* Even Mum singing Bohemian Rhapsody, she might be actually happy for a moment!
* Atmos! Here we go! Almost up to the beginning of this episode aren’t we?
* Bright blue light? What’s there now? Rose again?
* Oh look Rose. Well her teeth anyway. She’ll be along a few minutes after.
* Sontaran ship, band of fighters? Mickey?
* Rose is with Torchwood in this one? Gwen and Yanto died? Oh noes!
* Great hair? Heh.
* She saved his life? NOW she remembers!
* The Darkness? All universes? So she’s not here from Torchwood?
* She’s the most important woman in the whole of creation? How? What does that mean?
* Good LORD I am distracted by her giant Nancy Kerrigan teeth now.
* I mean… Good LORD I am dishhtrachted by her shiant Nanshy Kerrigan teesh now.
* Aw, I love that he is excited about the future.
* Labor camps? England for the English?
* Oh, that moment between those two men. All those unspoken words. My heart is breaking.
* Labor camps. That’s what they called them last time! Oh no oh no oh no oh no….
* Mum’s done. That’s sad. At least when she was on about something she had a passion for that…
* Poor Donna, Mum’s agreed she’s useless.
* I love you Grampy.
* Stars are going out? Yeah that’s bad.
* O hai Rose’s teeth! O hai Rose!
* She’s like, assumed the role of Doctor? No name and all of that…
* Seriously I can’t watch her creepy teeth. She smiles and it freaks me right the hell out. Plush she hash a hard time talkingsh with them.
* He showed Roshe she wash brilliant? I don’t know that I believe that.
* Show it to us!
* OMG I’d freak out too.
* Nice long flowy coat btw there Donna. Long and brown…
* How does she know it was a right or left turn?
* Relevant to the mission? What the hell?
* Poor Donna, I feel so bad for her again.
* How are they finding her?
* This is to combat dehydration. Hee!
* Oooh! It’sh a thime mashine!
* SHAY YESH YOU GIANT TOOTHED IDIOT!
* More importantly who was it that beckoned her into that fortune telling booth? What do they gain from all this?
* Four minutes. Half a mile. Eight minute mile seems reasonable to most.
* Oh Donna. What are you going to do to stop yourself? This should be good.
* Oh noes! She won’t make it?
* She’s gotta toss herself in front of the truck?
* Was that the Italian man from her other reality?
* She didn’t die. Good!
* Tell him thish: two wordsh: What are they?
* Left it is!
* None of those other things happened that way!
* How did she do it?
* What will you be? That’s creepy….why did she run off that way?
* Why did we do one Doctor only ep and now one Donna only ep?
* Parallel worlds? We know they are sealed off.
* Library too, now this…
* Is she River Song?
* She said the stars are going out, all worlds. What are the two words she had for him?
* Those two words were Bad Wolf!?
* Ohhhhh no. How is it everything? And why?
* Didn’t Rose plant those herself?
* OMG it’s everybody!
* Break for these now while I watch Torchwood I think. I’mma need those now!
* She’s wearing the same thing she was wearing at the end of the first episode. (I thought so!)
