			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>This episode is the fifth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Poison_Sky">The Poison Sky</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site:</a> As the Sontarans choke the Earth, the Doctor battles to keep both Martha and Donna alive.<br />
<span id="more-1480"></span></p>
<p>* Oh good right where we left off, with some nice highlights, not drawn out nonsense.<br />
* Mum with a hammer! BRILLIANT MUM! I woulda elbowed in Grampy&#8217;s window myself but that&#8217;s just me&#8230;<br />
* Atmos running wild?<br />
* Oh mum here we go again. &#8220;You go with the Doctor! That&#8217;s my girl!&#8221; I love him more every time.<br />
* Martha Martha Two by Four, what the hell are you up to? What&#8217;s that card connect you to?<br />
* Good work for a female? Bitch Please! Or to quote Donna, &#8220;I&#8217;ll tell you which way the wind&#8217;s blowing now, mate&#8230;&#8221;<br />
* War is magnificent? If you ever cared about anything you are about to blow it up. That&#8217;s ok?<br />
* Is she a real newscaster? Are any of them? Not being in the UK I don&#8217;t know.<br />
* Now she tells them Sontaran? NOW? What&#8217;s THAT gonna get anybody?<br />
* She gets a key now? Awesome! No chain and pretty normal looking this time round, innit?<br />
* Are you ok Donna? I hope you are all right.<br />
* What did they do to the TARDIS? Ohhhhh no. Sent it up there without him? Donna is gonna knock you down to size.<br />
* Quietly: &#8220;He is behaving exactly as predicted&#8230;&#8221; so they are playing him too. Interesting.<br />
* Stuck on Earth like a human how rubbish is that? hahahahaha<br />
* Have you phoned your family? Hmmmm. And she thinks Donna is home now? Awesome.<br />
* His own soldiers are the students of his school? Do THEY know that?<br />
* Nice hack into the comm system!<br />
* Why was Rose yelling DOCTOR when the video came on?<br />
* Fifty thousand years of war? Wow.<br />
* He&#8217;s so excited about another world? What about the rest of them who love their families?<br />
* I chose you to survive?<br />
* He planned the whole thing? Once again a plan foiled by failing to account for humans.<br />
* OK Donna what is it you need to do? Phoning Martha won&#8217;t work obviously. Or will it?<br />
* He has one minute? oh crap.<br />
* Why didn&#8217;t he see the look Martha gave him?<br />
* North Korea is part of the world nuclear grid? heee!<br />
* Launch no? what?<br />
* They&#8217;re coming for her. Get with it Doctor! Please figure this out!!<br />
* Oooh Ross! You go!<br />
* Why does that guy feel compelled to ignore the Doctor again and again?<br />
* NOOOOOOOOOOO! Ross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
* You SOB! You killed him!<br />
* &#8220;He wasn&#8217;t Greyhound 40 his name was Ross.&#8221; Bossy Doctor is Bossy!<br />
* ??? Did they just shoot the two &#8220;operatives&#8221; from before?<br />
* This is too easy. They&#8217;re running like slidebeks from a spielfox? um ok.<br />
* Why DO they need the factory? Why Why Why?<br />
* Why does Martha keep stopping it?<br />
* Shot the students down? That&#8217;s&#8230;unfortunate. He just found out he&#8217;s getting played? GOOD!<br />
* Oh for Pete&#8217;s sake! Stop trying to fight Sontarans!<br />
* OMG HE CALLED DONNA! FINALLY!<br />
* I don&#8217;t love that she needs a pep talk but I love that he is doing it. You crack him good in that there vent Donna! You know you can!<br />
* OMG it&#8217;s the Vulcan sign! Awesome. You go Donna!<br />
* Hold on Donna! You can do this!<br />
* Are you my mummy? OMG OMG OMG!! Even more out of episode acknowledgement. Russell T Davies you fabulous geek!<br />
* Did it EVER occur to you that he might know a thing or two about Sontarans? And maybe you should listen?<br />
* It&#8217;s the Valiant? oh uh UH!<br />
* You just said it wasn&#8217;t battle it was sport, but now it&#8217;s all the honor of battle? wtf?<br />
* Oh Doctor I hope you know what you&#8217;re doing with her.<br />
* It doesn&#8217;t matter because the bullets wouldn&#8217;t work anyway.<br />
* OMG Donna you go!<br />
* Did he just shoot a Sontaran and have it work!? HOW?<br />
* Isn&#8217;t that the music from when Rose disappeared?<br />
* Clone food? They&#8217;d win that war for sure.<br />
* I&#8217;m sort of sad for the clone I guess, I hope it affects our martha somehow.<br />
* Was that my old ROKR phone?<br />
* Have I ever told you how much I hate you? hahahaha!<br />
* Nice! I love that he has no time for the idiot kid.<br />
* Cloneworld is born? oh crap.<br />
* I&#8217;m sorry sport, but Sontar can suck it.<br />
* horry clap! When the Doctor goes &#8220;pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease&#8221; you know it can&#8217;t be good.<br />
* Grampy Wilf sees another day! Good.<br />
* Nice kiss!<br />
* Now we&#8217;re in trouble? oh noes!<br />
* Why did the Doctor have to do it? And why wouldn&#8217;t he take his coat? Why the crap didn&#8217;t Luke volunteer to do it?<br />
* Doctor you know you cannot win. Luke? What the hell?<br />
* OMG! He totally did it. He saved the world. Go Luke! Who knew? I forgive him a little bit I guess.<br />
* No driving? Phenomenal! Sneaky little enviro story you&#8217;ve got there Russell.<br />
* Ohhh, Grampy Wilf. You are my favorite. I hope you get to go with the Doctor too. Rose took her mum. Take him with!<br />
* HA! What? What? Heee!<br />
* How are they not in control?</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;mma watch the teaser and see what I see.<br />
She&#8217;s my DAUGHTER? My mind is blended!<br />
GAH! I wish I could watch it right now. Too bad I can&#8217;t. (sigh) It&#8217;s bedtime for me!<br />
This episode was a nice finish for the first piece. Telling this story definitely takes two parts, but if I&#8217;d had to wait a week I don&#8217;t know what I would have done with myself. Sontarans are interesting and I only have vague memories of them from the older series. Good one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>This episode is the fourth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sontaran_Stratagem">The Sontaran Stratagem</a> (first of a two-parter). From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site:</a> Martha Jones summons the Doctor back to modern-day Earth, but an old enemy lies in wait.<br />
<span id="more-1478"></span></p>
<p>* Those are some heinous tracksuits.<br />
* Dear Rattigan with two Ts: You&#8217;re not Matthew Broderick. Stop it. Thxby.<br />
* She will be terminated. Cool. COOL!? Are you kidding me?<br />
* Deaths related to Atmos systems? Does the S stand for system? Isn&#8217;t that redundant?<br />
* Jo, why can&#8217;t you get out of the car? Wiggle out the window? Oh, because if you did you aren&#8217;t interesting anymore.<br />
* &#8220;What am I gonna do, put a dent in the 1980s?&#8221; &#8220;Someone did&#8230;&#8221; Oh? Do we get to find out more about that?<br />
* How did Martha convince him? We never hear that part.<br />
* Did she just call him a prawn? Heh.<br />
* Don&#8217;t fight don&#8217;t fight, well don&#8217;t get along either? Heee! Bit human, that.<br />
* Weird giant semi trailers.<br />
* WTF is Martha in on? Why is she running off tracking aliens?<br />
* Weird three fingered command giver in the purply lit room.<br />
* Technically he never resigned? I love nods to the old bits. &#8220;All a bit more homespun back then&#8230;&#8221; hahahaha!<br />
* Atmos, eh? Sounds pretty fantastic, especially now.<br />
* &#8220;That&#8217;s why we called in an expert.&#8221; &#8220;Really? Who&#8217;d you get?&#8221; heeee!<br />
* Weird basement area room, I&#8217;d not go near it.<br />
* Ahh! Why is it banging?<br />
* How does green acky stuff OHHH MY GOD!!!!!<br />
* If it&#8217;s a person but an umbilical cord at the neck it&#8217;s not human.<br />
* One of them was smart, interesting.<br />
* Ahh! WTF is that thing? A cattle prod sized tazer? Yikes!<br />
* If he&#8217;s Sontaran then the thing in the vat with a neck vent is a Sontaran too, right? Like when Dalek Sec got the human body?<br />
* SuperTemp? Go Donna!!<br />
* Not coming with you? what What WHAAAAT?<br />
* Oh good she&#8217;s staying. Hurrah!<br />
* You Dumbo! hehehehe! I really like the two of them together.<br />
* Oh this guy&#8217;s not half creepy.<br />
* I&#8217;m here to work? Hmmmm&#8230;<br />
* Oh she&#8217;s letting them lead her&#8230;.I guess she has no reason to think otherwise but oh come ON!<br />
* I really love that Donna is wearing a jacket and sneakers. Awesome. Vaguely Doctor-y.<br />
* Flashbacks and we&#8217;re only in Episode Four!?<br />
* Oh Granddad, there you are! I love you. Will you be my Granddad too? I&#8217;ve never had one that happy to see me.<br />
* RUN MARTHA! Nitwit. How does she not know? Oh look they won&#8217;t let her out. There&#8217;s a shock.<br />
* Is it safe? I thought that was my job! Oh man. He is super awesome!<br />
* Oh look it&#8217;s mum. Annnnnd, she&#8217;s off!<br />
* That wink officially makes him Best. Gramps. Ever.<br />
* Ross is reasonably sharp.<br />
* Ooh, conditional clause. Well done Doctor!<br />
* I wonder if he&#8217;s actually American or if it&#8217;s a put on accent.<br />
* Nice hissy fit Rattigan. That flounce out of the room was super impressive.<br />
* He called you a grunt, don&#8217;t call Ross a grunt, he&#8217;s nice, we like Ross! Fabulous!<br />
* It&#8217;s been a long time since anyone said no to you&#8230;<br />
* I totally need a jacket like that! That&#8217;s quite the pocket.<br />
* Teleport pod what? OMG!<br />
* oh NO he didn&#8217;t! How did he get in? Intruder window? GROAN!!!!!!<br />
* Only an idiot would provoke him! Only a stooge would interrupt!<br />
* Good shot doctor! I think I am right about that neck thing, it&#8217;s a weirdy pre-Sontaran something or other. A Sontaran Daywalker if you will.<br />
* How do you tell each other apart? I can tell the difference, why can&#8217;t you doofus?<br />
* Oh look, Martha&#8217;s in trouble. Imagine that.<br />
* Knowing they are the soldiers they are, why would Rattigan think they&#8217;ll take care of him at all?<br />
* Oh noes! They are gonna get dumped in the river!<br />
* Don&#8217;t do what I say, ok, drive me to the river! Nice!<br />
* I wonder if they&#8217;ll notice that Martha&#8217;s not wearing her ring? They got her ears pierced even.<br />
* Wilf! Grampy Wilf is phenomenal even still.<br />
* Promise you&#8217;ll take care of her. She takes care of me! That&#8217;s so cute.<br />
* HA! He&#8217;s the man from the wedding! I love when they admit stuff happens outside of this episode.<br />
* All they want is war. You can&#8217;t take it Rattigan. You can&#8217;t even make a passable Ferris Bueller, how are you gonna be a warlord?<br />
* Why did you get in the car Grampy Wilf? Why Why Why??????<br />
* Oh this looks bad, mmmkay?<br />
* Don&#8217;t you do anything to my Grampy Wilf!!</p>
<p>AHHHHH!!!!!!!<br />
This is a good episode, but I don&#8217;t like the two-parters as much because that first bit doesn&#8217;t stand on its own like it should.<br />
I hate cliffhangers. Good thing for me the next episode starts NOW!</p>
