			<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 thirteenth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Journey%27s_End">Journey&#8217;s End</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/episodes/S4_13">the site</a>: As Davros and the Daleks threaten the entire universe, the Doctor&#8217;s companions join forces. But the prophecy declares that one of them will die&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-1493"></span><br />
* Nice recap there at the start.<br />
* Regenerating? But then what? And the hand?<br />
* Why is he the same? Oh how are you gonna explain this?<br />
* Horry clap! Mickey and Jackie? How does he know who she is?<br />
* We Smiffs gotta stick together! I kinda miss Mickey the idiot!<br />
* Not sure I miss Jackie, or that blue eyeshadow. We&#8217;ll see how the old girl does.<br />
* Bullets all stopped? weird ripples? Is it time or what?<br />
* So he didn&#8217;t have to CHANGE just use the energy. Neat!<br />
* I don&#8217;t care if they are reunited, I didn&#8217;t like the two of them that much.<br />
* Ultimate defense? Tosh totally saved their asses? I am even more sad now that she is gone&#8230;<br />
* Temporal prison? That&#8217;s bad mmkay?<br />
* Taking the TARDIS to the Crucible? WTF is the Crucible?<br />
* You go Sarah Jane! She&#8217;s mighty nervy I&#8217;ll give her that.<br />
* Mickey smooching his weapon. Hee!<br />
* Ohhhh Martha. Are you doing something stupid that will get you in trouble again?<br />
* Those Daleks sound really weird. Because they&#8217;re yelling EXTERMINATE in German?<br />
* What was the future? It wash the darknesh.<br />
* I do like this Rose a bit better though, at least she&#8217;s contributing.<br />
* All timelines converge on Donna? Interesting.<br />
* I&#8217;m a temp from Chissick!<br />
* Send Jack as the Doctor! They don&#8217;t know! They&#8217;ve seen you with ten different faces right?<br />
* Donna? Are you ok? What&#8217;s going on in that brilliant little head of yours?<br />
* You were brilliant Donna! I told you!<br />
* Do they know everyone&#8217;s in there? Can&#8217;t they hang one back or something?<br />
* Don&#8217;t go Donna. STAY INSIDE!<br />
* What are you hearing? A heartbeat?<br />
* Ohhhhhhhhhh crap. Timelord Treachery? That&#8217;d be a good band.<br />
* The Crucible has a heart? Is that what she&#8217;s hearing?<br />
* Oh Donna. No no no no o no no no no no no no<br />
* You can do it Donna. I don&#8217;t know what but you will do it.<br />
* Ohhhhhhh what is that gonna do to her? She&#8217;s not a Timelord&#8230;<br />
* What do you call a female Timelord? Timelady? Is she a Timelord too?<br />
* Oh yes. You&#8217;re naked! Oh yes.<br />
* Come on nekkid Doctor!!!!!<br />
* Ohhhhhhh no no no no no no no no no. NO!<br />
* Not Jack! Oh wait.<br />
* Come on Jack, you can pull it out too! There&#8217;s my boy! I saw that wink!<br />
* All repaired? He&#8217;s a bit&#8230;intense&#8230;now.<br />
* Unique? Hmm. I love that hand! Hee!<br />
* Oi watch it earth girl! Heee!<br />
* You are kidding me! OMG LOL!<br />
* That&#8217;s disgusting! hahahahaha!<br />
* He&#8217;s interesting this way.<br />
* You think you&#8217;re not worth it.<br />
* I like that he can peek at her thoughts.<br />
* All coming together eh? I wonder what all is coming together.<br />
* Hello Martha! I&#8217;m sure if you find a guard you&#8217;ll get good and captured.<br />
* Incinerate! Incinerate! Ohhhh Jack.<br />
* Oh look! Humans!<br />
* Yeah I&#8217;m full of exclamation points for this.<br />
* Not doing the nostalgia tour, heh. Good!<br />
* You&#8217;re not in charge of the Daleks are you? Play him Doctor!<br />
* Dalek&#8217;s pet? Can&#8217;t they have a puppy?<br />
* Prophecies of Dalek Crazy? Is he the one from S1?<br />
* How did Dalek Crazy see all this?<br />
* The Doctor and his precious Children of Time?<br />
* His true self? He&#8217;s hiding somehow?<br />
* How did Sarah get a thingy that opens the door? I should be watching that show.<br />
* Oh whatever, Jackie is gonna be fine and you all know it!<br />
* A single string? Of Planets? Oh that sounds bad mmkay?<br />
* I am glad Mickey the idiot gets along with Jackie.<br />
* They all dissolve? Why? How? What good is that?<br />
* What did it do? Sort of dissolved them? Like Rose did to the Daleks?<br />
* But what does it benefit the Daleks to empty everything from&#8230;everything?<br />
* Ohhhhh if they are it they are supreme. But how does that work?<br />
* That&#8217;s beefcake. And that&#8217;s enough hugging. Heee!<br />
* What is that Sarah? A warp star? Innnnnteresting.<br />
* OK Martha what are you gonna do? Give them a chance? The Doctor gives them a chance.<br />
* Don&#8217;t argue with me Doctor! She has a point.<br />
* Calling all Dalek boys and girls! I love you Jack.<br />
* Davros sees Sarah again, interesting.<br />
* What&#8217;s the matter with the Doctor?<br />
* Ohhh, this is what he has done to them. That is kind of sad, I guess.<br />
* OMG! How did it zap them all there?<br />
* More importantly how did it NOT zap Donna? Are they just not looking for her because she &#8220;died&#8221;?<br />
* OMG I think Davros is off his meds! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!<br />
* OMG! Yes again!<br />
* What now? He&#8217;s zapped too!<br />
* Do it Donna!<br />
* Oh crap. Donna has to be ok! Please!<br />
* Human biological matter crisis? Crosses? OK whatever. Still sucks that he died.<br />
* Come on Donna! Do something!<br />
* Did she get part Doctor in there somewhere?<br />
* D&#8217;you wanna bet timeboy? Oh I like this Donna!<br />
* Oh she did get some Doctor. Yay!<br />
* Skinny boys in suits! heee!<br />
* Little bit of human, hooray!<br />
* Yes, more exclamation points. I like her!<br />
* You go Mickey!<br />
* Wait, if she&#8217;s part Doctor is that how she &#8220;died&#8221;?<br />
* HA!<br />
* I can&#8217;t tell you what I&#8217;m thinking right now. Oh I can Captain Jack. And it&#8217;s HOT!<br />
* Did Dalek Crazy double cross? Oh he did!<br />
* Prophecy must complete?<br />
* Has he seen the end of everything or everything Dalek?<br />
* It is kind of sad to watch him take them all down, even though I know it had to happen.<br />
* Yay Torchwood! You&#8217;re ok!<br />
* Is this extra Doctor the one that dies?<br />
* You are the destroyer of worlds? After he tried to save you?<br />
* They leave and he says &#8220;One will still die&#8230;&#8221;<br />
* K-9 knows the base code? Hooray!<br />
* No Jackie no, not you. LOL!<br />
* I wonder why the TARDIS is supposed to have six pilots?<br />
* I love you Ianto Jones!<br />
* I love watching a blue call box tow a planet. This is fantastic!<br />
* This could get VERY interesting for the two of them from now on.<br />
* I kind of like them all together though I must say.<br />
* Rose gets to meet the others who&#8217;ve heard so much about her.<br />
* Go Grampy Wilf! Do that dance!<br />
* Yay Sarah! I&#8217;d like another adventure with her now I think.<br />
* Why is Mickey gonna miss Jackie?<br />
* No teleport? Hrm.<br />
* Maybe there IS something else Martha could be doing? He&#8217;s short a Doctor after all.<br />
* Oooh, maybe Mickey and Martha go Torchwood? Smith and Jones together again?<br />
* I like this new Mickey! See ya boss.<br />
* That&#8217;s me when we first met. It isn&#8217;t though.<br />
* She gets her own Doctor as a companion? That seems&#8230;.wrong. And weird.<br />
* Here Rose, let me leave you a ME as your boyfriend? That just seems&#8230;wrong.<br />
* I have never been disappointed yet in an episode but I am now. Really?<br />
* Binary binary binary binary? What happened?<br />
* Is she deteriorating?<br />
* Oh noes.<br />
* I thought the half human Doctor was the one who died. Is it Donna?<br />
* He&#8217;s taking all of that away from her?<br />
* You are kiddding me. All gone? Just like that!? Tragic.<br />
* &#8220;But she was better with you!&#8221; Yes she was, Grampy Wilf. Yes she was.<br />
* I like DoctorDonna better. This Donna&#8217;s not someone I enjoy.<br />
* Doctor&#8217;s got no one now. Again.<br />
* &#8220;Every night, Doctor, when it gets dark, and the stars come out, I&#8217;ll look up. On her behalf. I&#8217;ll look up at the sky and think of you.&#8221; What a perfectly lovely man.<br />
* Off he goes, alone again. I do like the nice wide shot of the TARDIS though. It&#8217;s good to get a little goodbye there as well.</p>
<p>Well that&#8217;s it then. I still don&#8217;t like the bit about Rose, but at least now she&#8217;s sealed off in another universe so I don&#8217;t have to worry about her ever coming back. Right? RIGHT? All the Rose stuff is too soap-y, I watch soaps for that. Gimme aliens and brilliant Timelords and Grampy Wilf instead!</p>

<p>This episode is the eleventh episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Turn_Left">Turn Left</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: As Donna&#8217;s world collapses, she finds help from a mysterious blonde woman &#8211; but can Donna and Rose stop the approaching Darkness?<br />
<span id="more-1491"></span><br />
* Someplace Asian. Hmmm.<br />
* I love watching them enjoy themselves! Lovely!<br />
* Where is she off to?<br />
* Your future predicted? She&#8217;s happy now! Hooray! You know, or not.<br />
* She can see a man. A remarkable man. That&#8217;s true!<br />
* What the hell is that scrabbling clattery noise behind her?<br />
* This is weird, watching the flashbacks.<br />
* What if you go right? She wouldn&#8217;t have anything she has now.<br />
* OMG SOMETHING ON HER BACK! From the Roman episode?<br />
* Don&#8217;t do it!!<br />
* OK fine, but only because I love a good alt.timeline tale!<br />
* Christmas eh?<br />
* Is that blonde woman her friend Nerys or whatever her name was?<br />
* She can see the bug sorta but not&#8230;?<br />
* OMG the Christmas star is the Racnos spider thing! And she&#8217;s missing it!<br />
* She was supposed to be the middle of that and now she&#8217;s a spectator.<br />
* Something on your back? That&#8217;s EXACTLY what they told her in Pompeii!<br />
* Found a body? Who what now?<br />
* OMG! Screwdriver? Doctor? Regenerate? NO NO NO NO!<br />
* Don&#8217;t do this to me Russell T Davies you terrible man!<br />
* Who to the what now? But she&#8217;s&#8230;.<br />
* She looks a LOT different now. Sounds different too. Did she get freakish giant horsetooth caps? I guess we&#8217;ll see.<br />
* She turned her head and they were gone. ??<br />
* Sacked? Oh I. Don&#8217;t. Think. So.<br />
* And there goes the hospital with Martha in it.<br />
* His name is Morganstern? Like Rosencranz and GuildenSTERN?<br />
* Martha died? Oh I don&#8217;t think so.<br />
* Aliens! I LOVE THE GRAMPY SHOW!<br />
* She gave up on Donna? Oh noes!<br />
* And Sarah Jane is gone now too? That one survivor wasn&#8217;t her?<br />
* And there&#8217;s Rose! Rocketing out of nowhere? WTF?<br />
* Oh yes, giant megacreepy teeth.<br />
* Use the raffle? How does she know? And how did she end up there? And why was it blue behind her?<br />
* Grampy is wearing not one but TWO pair of antlers. I love him! Have I mentioned that?<br />
* What&#8217;s on the BBC? There is a thing on her but there isn&#8217;t but there is?<br />
* What IS she saying? I certainly can&#8217;t tell.<br />
* Annnnd there&#8217;s the Titanic!<br />
* And it did not work this time! No Doctor to save it and now it went wrong. This is sad&#8230;<br />
* I&#8217;m supposed to be out there selling papers&#8230;<br />
* Wow, who knew the left turn would make all that happen? Really makes you wonder.<br />
* I feel like we&#8217;ve seen this street in Leeds before&#8230;<br />
* What a nice man he is, trying to make the best of it.<br />
* What? Dissolved entirely into fat? I TOLD YOU THEY SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!<br />
* Grampy looks thinner, and Mum is about to go round the bend I think if she hasn&#8217;t already.<br />
* Again with the no bees! That&#8217;s bad mmkay?<br />
* Even Mum singing Bohemian Rhapsody, she might be actually happy for a moment!<br />
* Atmos! Here we go! Almost up to the beginning of this episode aren&#8217;t we?<br />
* Bright blue light? What&#8217;s there now? Rose again?<br />
* Oh look Rose. Well her teeth anyway. She&#8217;ll be along a few minutes after.<br />
* Sontaran ship, band of fighters? Mickey?<br />
* Rose is with Torchwood in this one? Gwen and Yanto died? Oh noes!<br />
* Great hair? Heh.<br />
* She saved his life? NOW she remembers!<br />
* The Darkness? All universes? So she&#8217;s not here from Torchwood?<br />
* She&#8217;s the most important woman in the whole of creation? How? What does that mean?<br />
* Good LORD I am distracted by her giant Nancy Kerrigan teeth now.<br />
* I mean&#8230; Good LORD I am dishhtrachted by her shiant Nanshy Kerrigan teesh now.<br />
* Aw, I love that he is excited about the future.<br />
* Labor camps? England for the English?<br />
* Oh, that moment between those two men. All those unspoken words. My heart is breaking.<br />
* Labor camps. That&#8217;s what they called them last time! Oh no oh no oh no oh no&#8230;.<br />
* Mum&#8217;s done. That&#8217;s sad. At least when she was on about something she had a passion for that&#8230;<br />
* Poor Donna, Mum&#8217;s agreed she&#8217;s useless.<br />
* I love you Grampy.<br />
* Stars are going out? Yeah that&#8217;s bad.<br />
* O hai Rose&#8217;s teeth! O hai Rose!<br />
* She&#8217;s like, assumed the role of Doctor? No name and all of that&#8230;<br />
* Seriously I can&#8217;t watch her creepy teeth. She smiles and it freaks me right the hell out. Plush she hash a hard time talkingsh with them.<br />
* He showed Roshe she wash brilliant? I don&#8217;t know that I believe that.<br />
* Show it to us!<br />
* OMG I&#8217;d freak out too.<br />
* Nice long flowy coat btw there Donna. Long and brown&#8230;<br />
* How does she know it was a right or left turn?<br />
* Relevant to the mission? What the hell?<br />
* Poor Donna, I feel so bad for her again.<br />
* How are they finding her?<br />
* This is to combat dehydration. Hee!<br />
* Oooh! It&#8217;sh a thime mashine!<br />
* SHAY YESH YOU GIANT TOOTHED IDIOT!<br />
* More importantly who was it that beckoned her into that fortune telling booth? What do they gain from all this?<br />
* Four minutes. Half a mile. Eight minute mile seems reasonable to most.<br />
* Oh Donna. What are you going to do to stop yourself? This should be good.<br />
* Oh noes! She won&#8217;t make it?<br />
* She&#8217;s gotta toss herself in front of the truck?<br />
* Was that the Italian man from her other reality?<br />
* She didn&#8217;t die. Good!<br />
* Tell him thish: two wordsh: What are they?<br />
* Left it is!<br />
* None of those other things happened that way!<br />
* How did she do it?<br />
* What will you be? That&#8217;s creepy&#8230;.why did she run off that way?<br />
* Why did we do one Doctor only ep and now one Donna only ep?<br />
* Parallel worlds? We know they are sealed off.<br />
* Library too, now this&#8230;<br />
* Is she River Song?<br />
* She said the stars are going out, all worlds. What are the two words she had for him?<br />
* Those two words were Bad Wolf!?<br />
* Ohhhhh no. How is it everything? And why?<br />
* Didn&#8217;t Rose plant those herself?<br />
* OMG it&#8217;s everybody!<br />
* Break for these now while I watch Torchwood I think. I&#8217;mma need those now!<br />
* She&#8217;s wearing the same thing she was wearing at the end of the first episode. (I thought so!)</p>

<p>This episode is the tenth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Midnight_(TV_story)">Midnight</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: The Doctor is trapped, powerless and terrified, on the planet Midnight, as the knocking on the wall begins&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-1490"></span><br />
* Sapphire Waterfall? Antigravity restaurant with bibs?<br />
* What could possibly go wrong? Uh huh.<br />
* DUDE! Look at all that complimentary stuff! I can&#8217;t even get a drink refill most of the time.<br />
* Wow, what a lovely pair they are, he introduces himself but she&#8217;s bothering him? Hm.<br />
* Oh goody. I was worried there was no emo in the future.<br />
* What is she singing? I&#8217;m guessing retro 60&#8242;s TV.<br />
* If I were on that flight I&#8217;d kill someone and it wouldn&#8217;t take long.<br />
* We&#8217;ll have to talk to each other? You know the Doctor LOVES that! Awesome.<br />
* Oh gee, he mostly has you do his grunt work. Imagine that!<br />
* I hope she does find Poosh or whatever it is.<br />
* She needed her space? Interesting it&#8217;s treated as no big deal. I mean it should be but it usually isn&#8217;t.<br />
* Nobody ever there ever? I call shenanigans!<br />
* Way to sashay up front Doctor! Woohoo!<br />
* I&#8217;m a Doctor I&#8217;m very clever. Heee!<br />
* Hi Claude! Hi Driver Joe!<br />
* Let&#8217;s look outside? OK let&#8217;s see it!<br />
* Poisoned by the sun? I have a hard time believing that&#8230;<br />
* We&#8217;re the first? Cool. Worked out by computer though? Oh I don&#8217;t think that was random&#8230;<br />
* Was there really something to see? I watched it twice and couldn&#8217;t tell.<br />
* Completely unnecessary? She&#8217;s all worked up.<br />
* She knows about the engines? Interesting.<br />
* Oh look hysteria! Fabulous! Awful woman, that mother.<br />
* WTF was that!?<br />
* I am really over the Professor. It is impossible for someone to be outside! Someone maybe but not someTHING. Tard.<br />
* Ooh! Knocking three times!<br />
* Cripes, two of the women on this trip are complete basket cases. This is why the Doctor should REALLY be travelling with me. I wouldn&#8217;t stay and sunbathe!<br />
* And why isn&#8217;t Donna in this episode anyway?<br />
* It&#8217;s coming for me? She said she&#8217;d get me?<br />
* Are we going to find out what it is? It screwed up the ship well and truly!<br />
* Yikes! Why is there no front of the ship?<br />
* STFU Professor! It can TOO be gone!<br />
* Oh she&#8217;s not quite right is she? But how did it get in if nothing really opened?<br />
* Good eye Jethro! I hope they pay more attention to you later.<br />
* Oh that copying is freaking me out!<br />
* Yikes! At the same time was even weirder!<br />
* Why would he bring up the Medusa Cascade and list all his &#8220;new&#8221; companions?<br />
* shamble bobble dibble doodle (:<br />
* Creeeeeeeeepy!<br />
* Mrs Kane SHUT UP!!! You basket case!<br />
* Just stop looking at her too, that certainly isn&#8217;t helping.<br />
* Goblin Men?<br />
* There is no it? Oh really?<br />
* At least Jethro is trying to reason it out. Good!<br />
* We should throw her out? Oh good you horrible judgmental khaki wearing JACKASS!<br />
* Yes they could murder her, Doctor. They&#8217;re no better.<br />
* Oh look how I was right that all humans would do is kill the new one.<br />
* Now turn on the Doctor, brilliant! What a good idea, the one reasonably calm person here and you turn on him.<br />
* At least he is smart enough to know not to tell them who he really is.<br />
* Sure, toss out the one calm person! Jeez.<br />
* She&#8217;s ahead now. oh goody.<br />
* She&#8217;s traded him somehow. This isn&#8217;t right. It took him somehow and now he&#8217;s the one stuck but she can move again.<br />
* She took him and yet she&#8217;s still the evil one! How did that happen?<br />
* She&#8217;s safe! She wasn&#8217;t but now she is but just STFU Mrs Kane!<br />
* Oh whenever you decide Jethro agrees with you his opinion counts eh?<br />
* She is TOTALLY preying on him!<br />
* This is miserable for him!<br />
* You go DeeDee!<br />
* She&#8217;s the voice! Of course she is!<br />
* I saw it with my own eyes? YOU DIDN&#8217;T SEE ANYTHING!<br />
* Look at the smile! You can tell she&#8217;s doing it.<br />
* I hate Mrs Kane!<br />
* Did the Doctor catch his foot or was that just coincidence?<br />
* HELP HIM STAY JETHRO!<br />
* FINALLY someone saw through it.<br />
* And it&#8217;s gone. Poor Doctor!<br />
* Poor Hostess! She didn&#8217;t want to do that. Good for her but she sacrificed herself for a bunch of ingrates.<br />
* I said it was her? Hit her in the face immediately! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!<br />
* So what was it?<br />
* No really, what?<br />
* What was the Hostess&#8217; name? Nobody knows?<br />
* Tell them, it won&#8217;t REALLY help will it? I mean honestly!</p>
<p>* I know I saw Rose calling for him on the video screen behind him. AGAIN. I know I saw her on the Sontaran one too. FREAKY!!!!!! What does she want or need and how is she doing it?<br />
* What does Rose want? If she needs him so then why did she disappear at the beginning of the season?<br />
* What is it they&#8217;re setting up? Why does she keep popping up like this?</p>
<p>I missed Donna, I really didn&#8217;t notice how much I liked them together until I had to do without her. But the moments of her laying poolside (?) and seeming completely adjusted were awesome. Not a bad episode, all things considered. </p>

<p>This episode is the ninth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Forest_of_the_Dead">Forest Of The Dead</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: As the shadows rise, the Doctor forges an alliance with the mysterious River Song. But can anyone stop the Vashta Nerada?<br />
<span id="more-1489"></span><br />
Rehash before the credits<br />
* Her doormaking gun is pretty fantastic.<br />
* I&#8217;m glad she seems to be watching it. What channel is that? Is it where Agatha Christie was?<br />
* Why is Donna being taken into this weird place? Is it the bin?<br />
* Two years ago? What in THE hell?<br />
* Is he the principal on Hexed?<br />
* No more dreams about the Doctor?<br />
* Hey look, CAL!<br />
* Oh wow what is going on!?<br />
* She&#8217;s fishing with him?<br />
* Married? What the crap?<br />
* Twins?<br />
* Seven years!?<br />
* He&#8217;s from CAL?<br />
* What what? How did he become Dr Moon all of a sudden?<br />
* Then you forgot? Oh lord. This is eight kinds of effed up. I LOVE IT!<br />
* Is that how they all got stuck? All doing Matrixy &#8220;keep the fake world alive&#8221; things?<br />
* I like her slapping him down a bit though. Another redhead putting him in his place.<br />
* WHAT DID SHE SAY?<br />
* Some hair dryers? Heh.<br />
* Two shadows again? Oh crap.<br />
* What is going on with Donna?<br />
* Poor Donna. What now?<br />
* What is with the skipping? Who&#8217;s that there then?<br />
* Why would the little girl tell her not to go?<br />
* Can anyone else see this woman?<br />
* !!!! It&#8217;s the girl! Miss Evangelista?<br />
* How is she going to help Donna? I hope she works it out!<br />
* We did not come here?<br />
* We come from here? Hatched?<br />
* Spores in trees? BOOKS ARE PAPER FROM TREES!<br />
* Oh how is he gonna manage this?<br />
* You go Doctor!<br />
* All the same children over and over&#8230;wow.<br />
* That veil! Yow!<br />
* Actually saved people. Ghosts in the machine.<br />
* Oh this is going to be interesting.<br />
* Why aren&#8217;t they supposed to tell?<br />
* I&#8217;ve been dieting! Heee!<br />
* I am brilliant and unloved. That&#8217;s so sad.<br />
* One word? What is the word. Cal?<br />
* Is Cal something particular? Ruin everything?<br />
* How did she do that with the remote? No more dad? Yow!<br />
* How does he know about Dr Moon and it is programmed to protect her?<br />
* I know Doctor Moon is the actual doctor moon, but how does everything else correspond?<br />
* &#8220;I bet I like you&#8221; &#8220;Oh you do.&#8221; Hmmm.<br />
* I feel bad for Donna some more. I&#8217;m getting to see how she is at being emotional too.<br />
* They aren&#8217;t real? They know they aren&#8217;t there sometimes? And gone? OMG!<br />
* Self-destruct is bad news!<br />
* What is going on with her house!?<br />
* Computers don&#8217;t dream but little girls do.<br />
* How does he know? How does he know who she is?<br />
* This library is her life now?<br />
* I feel bad for him, a little. Poor little girl!<br />
* You just killed someone I like that is not a very safe place to stand.<br />
* Look me up! Wow.<br />
* OMG! She knocked him out cold!<br />
* You know my name! Wow.<br />
*  What is the reason he would tell anyone his name? I guess I gotta look that up too.<br />
* That poor man, how will she find him? He&#8217;s one of four thousand people!<br />
* They were all saved? They are all surprised about it I bet.<br />
* At least he found Donna.<br />
* Oh no he was real and he was right there!!!! ARGH!<br />
* And still he didn&#8217;t look? I wonder why not.<br />
* I am still desperately curious about the screwdrivers that he keeps NOT keeping. WTF?<br />
* Did you see him clear that book cart? WOW!<br />
* Hang on Professor!<br />
* WOW what did he do?<br />
* He put her in the machine! Oh he IS very good.<br />
* It&#8217;s a good place now? Good. Good for him.<br />
* But how DID he make the doors open by snapping his fingers?<br />
* That was a nicer ending at least. Nicer than some have been.</p>

<p>This episode is the eighth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Silence_in_the_Library">Silence In The Library</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: The Doctor and Donna enter a world of terror inside an abandoned library. They&#8217;re given only one warning: &#8216;Count the shadows&#8217;.<br />
<span id="more-1488"></span><br />
* um ok.<br />
* She goes to the Library?<br />
* Where have I seen that doctor before?<br />
* MY Library?<br />
* My mind is blended!<br />
(credits)<br />
* You need the smell of books! How true.<br />
* Seriously, this is a world I want to live on. Or at least vacation on.<br />
* Monty Python&#8217;s Big Red Book? I might need that!<br />
* No spoilers. Nice!<br />
* Any kind of life, he&#8217;s searching on a Mac keyboard. (:<br />
* Are the books alive?<br />
* Weird encounter with the statue robot thing.<br />
* This is very very weird. AWESOME!<br />
* And here we are.<br />
* She&#8217;s a security camera?<br />
* What IS casting those shadows?<br />
* OMG! Is that Doctor whatshername from ER?<br />
* Contracts? Well played Doctor!<br />
* The usual?<br />
* Byzantine? Asgard? What a diary she has!<br />
* Why should The Doctor know her?<br />
* Why is her phone ringing? Why are they hearing it?<br />
* I must admit it&#8217;s quite the book.<br />
* What book? WHO IS SHE?<br />
* I think the foolish assistant girl is key.<br />
* IQ of plankton? Wow.<br />
* Open door? Is she the redshirt?<br />
* Those books are just laying there flattened on the floor. PICK THEM UP!<br />
* So is she stupid to go through that door and look round or did she do a smart thing? Seems dark.<br />
* There, NOW will you believe him?<br />
* How does he know this? Is he a good guy? Is he a bad guy? Does he want to help them or NOT help her?<br />
* I guess it makes sense that he would eventually meet someone who has met him but he doesn&#8217;t yet know.<br />
* Did it happen with the one where The Doctor appears on exactly the DVDs the girl owns? Wasn&#8217;t she Sally Sparrow or something? Maybe it happened with her too.<br />
* Two shadows, oh crap.<br />
* I like her sonic screwdriver. That&#8217;s now the third or fourth variant we&#8217;ve seen so far.<br />
* Ah! Donna! What happened?<br />
* Did the shadow get her?<br />
* Well it got him&#8230;<br />
* Oh crap.<br />
* A what gun? AWESOME!<br />
* Donna Noble has been saved? HOW? WHERE? AGGGH!<br />
* Saved? How is she the&#8230;is that how there were survivors? They weren&#8217;t really survivors they just became the guide thingies?<br />
*AHHH!!!! I HATE TWO PARTERS!!!<br />
* Is she Jenny? Is that why she won&#8217;t use her first name?</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 seventh episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called The Unicorn And The Wasp. From the site: In 1926, Agatha Christie disappeared for 10 days. Was it amnesia? A nervous breakdown? Or a Giant Alien Wasp..?<br />
<span id="more-1487"></span><br />
* Oh my. An insect?<br />
* No no no no no no don&#8217;t do that. hehehehe<br />
* Funny place to wear pearls. Hee!<br />
* Look at Roger as he gives Davenport the eye. Hmmm.<br />
* Lady Edison keeps reminding me of Cate Blanchett. It&#8217;d be a better part than that thing in Indy.<br />
* Oh my! She&#8217;s seen it too. &#8220;All the decent men are on the other bus&#8221;&#8230;<br />
* HelLO special guest! OMG I would love that!<br />
* Well&#8230;.Well&#8230;..Well&#8230;. hahahaha I love when he does that.<br />
* Mister Christie? I never thought about him really&#8230;.<br />
* Agatha Christie disappeared? Hang on there Doctor, I gotta get wikipedia up!<br />
* Wow that is interesting about Agatha. I don&#8217;t know that I ever heard anything about him. Hmmm.<br />
* What&#8217;s she gotten out of the fire?<br />
* Clue! Ha!<br />
* Plucky young girl that helps me out? Oh THIS will go well.<br />
* Morphic residue?<br />
* Happens to him all the time? Hm.<br />
* Charles Dickens surrounded by ghosts at Christmas? NICE! I love when they reference that way.<br />
* But&#8230;not&#8230;yet. Excellent<br />
* I like that Agatha knocks him down a notch. This season is a lot more look at him instead of up to him.<br />
* Reverend&#8217;s alibi: In his room.<br />
* Roger&#8217;s alibi: How alone I was, so alone, very lonely. NOT!<br />
* Miss Redmond&#8217;s alibi: Freshening up, but really loading a gun<br />
* Colonel: Reminiscing? HARDLY<br />
* Lady Eddy: Afternoon tea? Drinking heavily!<br />
* So right now the Reverend is the only one who&#8217;s words match up with his video.<br />
* MAIDEN! What does that mean? I love that crafty man!<br />
* Malaria? Locked up in there for all that time? Suspicious.<br />
* OMG! busted right in the window!! Crazy.<br />
* Award for Best Use Of A Magnifying Glass goes to&#8230;<br />
* If he asked about what?<br />
* Annnd we&#8217;ll never know.<br />
* The poor little child?<br />
* Award for Fastest Regeneration Of A Stinger goes to&#8230;<br />
* Yeah, tell her about movies, good job Donna. (:<br />
* Do they always say the name of the episode in it?<br />
* Sparkling cyanide? What&#8217;s that gonna do to him?<br />
* What did he just pour on himself?<br />
* Harvey Wallbanger? hehehehe<br />
* I love this! I mean it sucks that he&#8217;s being poisoned but this is brilliant interaction.<br />
* One shock coming up! WOW.<br />
* Insecticide? It&#8217;s on!<br />
* Lights out!<br />
* It can&#8217;t be? What can&#8217;t be?<br />
* Donna eating snacks as she watches it go down. Awesome.<br />
* Oooh, the thief is out! Well done!<br />
* He can walk? She had no idea. Very nice!<br />
* Lady Edison&#8230;Fallen pregnant? Odd phrase.<br />
* Oh here we go.<br />
* Professor Peach must be the UK version of Professor Plum in Clue or something.<br />
* It was YOU! hahaha<br />
* Reverend? Oh, yes, this is good now!<br />
* Interesting.<br />
* Lady Who?<br />
* You humans? He&#8217;s half human and he knows it! He&#8217;s only been waspy for like a week?<br />
* How is she going to stop it? She took off with the stone, will that fix it somehow?<br />
* Oh Donna you go!<br />
* She is saved! Excellent.<br />
* Ohh, so that is what happened to her! It all makes PERFECT sense now!<br />
* Was the Unicorn real too?<br />
* C?<br />
* Cybermen, Carrionites, a head&#8230;<br />
* Death in the Clouds? I don&#8217;t think I read that one&#8230;<br />
* I just want to go read a bunch of Agatha Christie books now!<br />
* Outstanding! What a good story. They don&#8217;t have to be famous people all the time but that was well done.</p>
<p>Overall I loved this episode, I like Agatha Christie books and I remember hearing something about her disappearing and my favorite kind of story is this kind, where real events get filled in with fictional ones and where the difference is can be hard to tell. I love that! So this episode was a blast.</p>
<p>CONFIDENTIAL:<br />
Agatha Christie&#8217;s grandson got to see the readthrough! That&#8217;s awesome!<br />
I love the clips that go back through the story.<br />
Wow, they are actually talking about her disappearance. That&#8217;s awesome!<br />
Interesting bits about the f/x and how they did it.</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 sixth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doctor%27s_Daughter">The Doctor&#8217;s Daughter</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site:</a> On the planet Messaline, in the middle of an endless war, the Doctor meets the most important woman of his life.<br />
<span id="more-1486"></span></p>
<p>* So the TARDIS brought them there? Why? And what IS the deal with his hand? I mean, yeah, I know about it, but why does he have it and not Captain Jack? Why is it worked up? What brought them where they are?<br />
* Why is Martha with them and not home? Because they couldn&#8217;t control it? How much time has passed between the end of 5 and the start of 6?<br />
* Processing? Yikes!<br />
* She&#8217;s the what now? Are you&#8230;but then&#8230;how&#8230;really?<br />
* Oh good, shooting. We all know how much the Doctor loves guns!<br />
* Even better, Martha in trouble. AGAIN. Can&#8217;t she ever smack anybody in the face or learn that overshoulder judo toss or something? Honestly.<br />
* She&#8217;s all blonde and perky and that seem a bit aggravating.<br />
* &#8220;Her name&#8217;s Martha!&#8221; Wow am I loving Donna more and more.<br />
* Heh. Doctor doesn&#8217;t make sense, eh?<br />
* It is kind of nice that Martha&#8217;s first reaction is to help the hurt fishman.<br />
* I notice the TARDIS is on her side of the rubble too.<br />
* At least she got all assertive with them and did fix the shoulder.<br />
* &#8220;Jenny&#8221; eh?<br />
* So she was generated at that moment from the tissue sample? Huh.<br />
* Monkey&#8217;s uncle? HA!<br />
* He knows they are the Hath? I don&#8217;t remember hearing that from anyone else.<br />
* She&#8217;s in the same place but with the Hath instead? Interesting.<br />
* Oooh, neato map trick!<br />
* I have GOT to get a Sonic Screwdriver of my own.<br />
* So him rejiggering the map changed theirs too?<br />
* Erase the Hath? That doesn&#8217;t sounds right?<br />
* Your woman? Heh.<br />
* Awesome. I love when someone ignores the Doctor and he has to stop them.<br />
* Seriously, what is with her sad outfits? I love Donna but she needs a bit of a makeover.<br />
* Phone upgrade. Nice!<br />
* I hope Martha really is OK. She may not be and not even know it.<br />
* Stethoscope too? Oh noes. But he is right she&#8217;s not really his, she&#8217;s like a chip of him.<br />
* Two hearts? How much of him does it take?<br />
* Why does she know all the stuff from the machine but no stuff from him?<br />
* How do they know what they are saying to each other? Still, yeah, clever Hath!<br />
* I wonder how she&#8217;s going to the surface and everything. That whole window bit is curious indeed.<br />
* Be quiet and open the door. HA!<br />
* I&#8217;d like to see you try that: He wouldn&#8217;t but I know someone who would! And has!<br />
* WTF are those numbers about anyway!<br />
* Does something that breathes liquid really want to feel the wind on their face? My guess is no.<br />
* Amount of running involved. Heh.<br />
* I am glad that he tried to change her.<br />
* She does like a bit of mischief!<br />
* Martha are you sure about this?<br />
* Oh and here she goes again. How on earth does Martha manage her regular life?<br />
* Why did he dive in like that? Is it possible she will see him again later?<br />
* Why don&#8217;t I remember that he was a father before?<br />
* When he talks about stuff we don&#8217;t know it gets me every time. EVERY TIME! That part of me died with them. That&#8217;s so sad.<br />
* You go Donna! Dates? Seven Days? Dewey Decimal in two days flat?! Damn she IS good!<br />
* War went on for generations not years. Interesting.<br />
* Leave it to the one covered in mud to smell flowers (:<br />
* I wonder why he is gray haired and so old looking? Do they not last very long on that planet or something?<br />
* Smash it up? Now what?<br />
* Why did he shoot her? Why didn&#8217;t he say anything at all about it? No defense or anything?<br />
* I love love love love Christopher Eccleston but I don&#8217;t think this scene with him would have made me cry.<br />
* I know he never would, but he coulda socked him in the mouth or something.<br />
* I&#8217;m glad Martha and Donna get along. It&#8217;s nice to see two women not compete.<br />
* Is she engaged to Mickey? (:<br />
* OMG she&#8217;s back! Good and bad I suppose. We&#8217;ll see.</p>
<p>OK, as a whole I liked this episode, mostly because the twist I never ever saw coming. It was nice but honestly I&#8217;m kinda over Rescue Me Martha. I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s not around for all of them.</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 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>

<p>This episode is the third episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Planet_of_the_Ood">Planet Of The Ood</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site:</a> The Doctor takes Donna to her first alien world &#8211; but the Ood-Sphere reveals some terrible truths about the Human Race.<br />
<span id="more-1479"></span><br />
* Hey the Ood! I remember you!<br />
* Middle management sales villains. WOW!<br />
* Oh zappy? I didn&#8217;t know they could do that!<br />
* She&#8217;s so excited. Awesome! That&#8217;d be me.<br />
* OMG a rocket.<br />
* Let&#8217;s see where he&#8217;s goin! Yeah, she&#8217;s awesome.<br />
* redeye?: hmmm.<br />
* Oh poor Ood! It&#8217;s a he not an it. Awesome!<br />
* OMG Crazy Ood! And now nothing.<br />
* Solana seems a little&#8230;.I don&#8217;t know what. She seems like she missed a step or something,. Or doesn&#8217;t care or something. Does she really believe what she is telling them?<br />
* Human empire? Three galaxies? Bees! Talk more about the bees!<br />
* Don&#8217;t the Ood get a say in this?<br />
* Rabid!! Wow.<br />
* Drink? Nice habit of tonic there. How can you tell it&#8217;s actually working for you hmm?<br />
* Yow! They ARE slaves aren&#8217;t they?<br />
* So busy I couldn&#8217;t save them. I was busy! I owe them one.<br />
* oooOOoooh, what&#8217;s in Warehouse 15? Is it icky? Why won&#8217;t they show me?<br />
* Say hello to Daddy? What IS down there?<br />
* Really? More people talking into watches?<br />
* What does he do with all those glasses? (drink!)<br />
* Why did the drink make it angry? Isn&#8217;t it just itself?<br />
* Heh. An entirely different planet, maybe an entire other time, and still it&#8217;s full of rail containers. (:<br />
* &#8220;Spaceman.&#8221; I love that smirk of his.<br />
* The circle must be broken so that we can sing? hmmm.<br />
* WOW I am disliking Solana more by the minute. MY ASS it&#8217;s a fire drill!<br />
* Where is he going? What&#8217;s in there?<br />
* OMG a giant claw toy? WOW. And that was as intense a few minutes as they&#8217;ve ever had on this show.<br />
* You&#8217;re really in trouble, not from me from her! hee!<br />
* OK they ended up with Little Miss PR. This is her big chance to help!&#8230;&#8230;.annnnd, no. Does she get another chance? Does she know what she did?<br />
* Why are they going rabid? This is interesting.<br />
* Fetch the canisters? THAT doesn&#8217;t sound good.<br />
* What are they doing in the cage? What&#8217;s wrong with them? Oh, nothing. They&#8217;re normal.<br />
* Song of Captivity is very intense. And very sad. I&#8217;m glad after 900 years or whatever he&#8217;s still capable of feeling like that.<br />
* You go crazy on em Doctor! Yeah!<br />
* Go Donna!<br />
* Oh that little event isn&#8217;t going to end well. Nope? RedEye everywhere!<br />
* Yay! One toasty douchebag. Good.<br />
* Oh, she didn&#8217;t get a chance to learn. I want to feel bad for her but I kind of can&#8217;t.<br />
* And Mister Army Man is the one that got gassed. Nice!<br />
* Oh goody, there&#8217;s a chance the third piece is malfunctioning which could be why red eye and he&#8217;s gonna destroy it?<br />
* DoctorDonnaFRIENDS! Man that was close! I know there are more episodes this season but there for a sec&#8230;<br />
* Detonation Packs!? That&#8217;s the best thing you could call them? Really?<br />
* What is &#8220;this thing&#8221; they want to kill?<br />
* Ohhh, it&#8217;s a brain. wow. ew. So if it really is the brain that is short circuiting then why would you destroy it?<br />
* Ack! How would that be, death by brain? At least it has no nerves so he didn&#8217;t hurt anything, but what happened to him??<br />
* And then there was patience&#8230;.WOW!! Who knew that would be something they were even capable of?<br />
* Interesting: He&#8217;s Ood kind and we will take care of him. Is that actual taking care or airquote taking care?<br />
* I love the song, it sounds a little different soundwise but super different vibe than last time.<br />
* I think I like how they are evolving as characters and feeling more comfortable with each other. Nice.</p>
<p>* I liked this one because it did a bit of the <a href="http://scifi.com/battlestar">Battlestar Galactica</a> thing where you see some very obvious parallels between what&#8217;s happening in the episode and what&#8217;s happening here on my version of Earth. It&#8217;s pretty interesting to see what happens and the angle taken here.</p>

<p>This episode is the second episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Fires_of_Pompeii">The Fires Of Pompeii</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site:</a> Psychic powers and stone beasts run riot in old Pompeii, but can Donna dare the Doctor to change established history?</p>
<p><span id="more-1477"></span><br />
* Ancient Rome! To them this is brand new Rome. &#8220;It&#8217;s so Roman!&#8221; hee hee!<br />
* OK I gotta know, is Catherine Tate pregnant or is it just unfortunate wardrobing?<br />
* Are we in Epcot? LOL!<br />
* No speaka Celtic! Hee!<br />
* It&#8217;s like Soho but bigger. (:<br />
* Odd stalker woman&#8230;<br />
* Not Rome? It&#8217;s Pompeii you say? Oh it&#8217;s on now!<br />
* Still loving the intro.<br />
* I&#8217;m really not liking little miss &#8220;you can&#8217;t see the high priestess so just tell me&#8221;. That&#8217;s no good.<br />
* &#8220;You&#8217;re kiddin.&#8221; Nice! &#8220;Don&#8217;t get clever in Latin!&#8221; hee!<br />
* This is a very vast looking set. And all the shaking, nice! Cute hungover sullen teen. I wonder <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Harkness">who</a> kept him out late? (:<br />
* A face of stone? hmm. Why would it hurt?<br />
* I like that Donna&#8217;s first instinct is saving everyone.<br />
* Tardis Timelord YEAH!<br />
* OK the weirdy red nun/sisterhood is weird and why does the highest one lie?<br />
* I am Spartacus. And so am I. heehee!<br />
* Lucius Petrus Dexterous? Isn&#8217;t Petrus stone and Dexterous arm?<br />
* Such wisdom? He&#8217;s a doofus!<br />
* Nice marble tiley thing, Lucius.<br />
* Only the menfolk have the capacity for true perception? Oh I like Donna.<br />
* Out soothsayed? heh. Oh this is awesome, they both know all kinds of awesome things about him. WOW!<br />
* She is returning. hmmmMMMMMMmmmm&#8230;<br />
* What&#8217;s on Donna&#8217;s back? A burden? Does she have a mark of some sort? Is it something to do with the &#8220;she&#8221; who&#8217;s returning? Is that Rose? Since we&#8217;ve seen her at the end of the first episode&#8230;<br />
* A lord of time? horry clap!<br />
* Her arm is stone!? that&#8217;s bad mmkay?<br />
* Earthquake made the seers in Pompeii all make sense? hmmmm.<br />
* I love a teen who is easily bought off. Awesome! How many times has he said &#8220;Don&#8217;t tell my dad&#8221;? (:<br />
* He&#8217;s building the future? How? For what? What &#8220;gods&#8221; told him to?<br />
* Weird remote control listening. Bizarre and I can&#8217;t get behind it. I want to but just&#8230;.no.<br />
* Energy converter, eh? interesting&#8230;.<br />
* What&#8217;s coming for them?<br />
* Oh THAT&#8217;s what&#8217;s coming for them. Damn!<br />
* Donna just got straight up nabbed? Oh come on!<br />
* Go Quintas! Good and quick thinking! And thank you Doctor for pointing it out!<br />
* Oh you go Donna!<br />
* Oh all the overdoing of this woman is aggravating.<br />
* I like that the Doctor stood up for the original Sybil, and she&#8217;s awesome.<br />
* Oh I like the Doctor when he&#8217;s had enough. Pyrovore? Pyrophile?<br />
* I bloody love you! Oh she&#8217;s better and better. I like this back and forth more than the sighing &#8220;oh doctor&#8221; we got before.<br />
* Someone must make the most terrible choice? I wonder which choice she means?<br />
* Cult of Vulcan, you say?<br />
* Heart of Vesuvius? That looks interesting&#8230;<br />
* Again with the lost! Misplaced? Poker game? Destroyed? Ruined?<br />
* &#8220;Never mind us&#8221;. Wow! She&#8217;s come a long way.<br />
* Poor Doctor. He wouldn&#8217;t have thought twice about that before. I think Martha and Donna were good for him.<br />
* OMG Vesuvius looks cool! Tragic, but cool!<br />
* What will happen to those ladies now that they might not have &#8220;gods&#8221; anymore to answer to? Will they stop being stone?<br />
* YAY! Doctor and Donna made it out!<br />
* OK head red nun is interesting now. But nobody else minds that they were lied to?<br />
* Poor Donna trying to help someone and can&#8217;t.<br />
* That poor family! At least they are together.<br />
* Stop being so terrible Doctor! Look at her!<br />
* Oh Doctor I knew you had it in you!<br />
* You were right. Sometimes I need someone. Welcome Aboard. Nice! I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s &#8220;official&#8221; now.<br />
* Oh an afterward! Yay!<br />
* Nice ending. Who finds those household gods in a bajillion years? And what do they think about it?</p>
<p>I enjoyed this episode a lot. It helped fill in a bit of the relationship between them, she&#8217;s actually a companion, and I think there was a bit of foreshadowing about what&#8217;s coming down the pike. I am loving every minute of this so it makes me sad that there will be SUCH a big break between this season and the next. Oh well. Next episode!</p>
