So, the Season 2 finale. Cybermen, Daleks and Rose’s departure. Epic stuff.

I like the way both Army of Ghosts and Doomsday open with Rose’s narration – This is the story of how I died is just… chilling.

I'd planned to do a review and spam of both episodes in one post, but ... I've gone a bit overboard with the pretty pictures, so it'll have to be two.

( Who you gonna call? )

Too long to be a drabble and too short to be a fic! Over at my fic journal.

Love and Monsters doesn’t really get a lot of love, but I confess, I’ve got a bit of a soft-spot for it. Even though it’s the first NET (Not Enough Tennant!) episode, I rather like the concept of seeing the Doctor through the eyes of an “outsider.”

I think this may be the first time I’ve seen The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit since the first time they aired. There are large chunks of both episodes I didn’t recall this time, which again, I can only put down to the fact that I usually watch the show with my kids who had (and still have!) a tendency to disrupt my concentration at important points!

But I do remember that I really enjoyed this two-parter. It was scary and exciting and thought-provoking – I mean, come on. The Doctor versus the Devil! How awesome is that?!

Yes, I know this is out of the running order, but we’ve got two different channels here showing repeats of the second series of Doctor Who ! I didn’t get to watch Tooth and Claw when it was on last week, but I caught it last night instead.

I haven’t got much to say – I’m tired for one thing, and for another, the amount of sheer gorgeousness on display melted my brain, so all I’m going to do is spam you with some of that.

( We are not amused. )

• 13:07 1. Finish another job application. 2. Prep for observation next Tues. 3. Write another scheme of work for next term. it's all go... #

We took the kids to McD's tonight. We don't go often and we haven't been for a while, so we figured it was time for some junk food.

Anyway. Elinor was wrapping her chops around a huge chocolate muffin while Abigail opted for ice cream, when I noticed that Elinor had stopped eating and looked to be completely captivated by what Abigail had. Honestly, her face was a picture. So I nudged Mr Caz and we both sat there watching her, until she noticed and immediately straightened herself up.

Elinor: What?

Mr Caz & Me: Your face, looking at the ice-cream!

Elinor: I wasn't!

Me: Yes you were -

Elinor: No, I was looking at that (points to Happy Meal box). Anyway, Mum, you can talk!

Mr Caz: Your mum doesn't look at food like that - she just eats it!

Elinor: I didn't mean food. I meant when she looks at David Tennant!

Um.

I didn’t get to re-watch The Idiot’s Lantern when it was on the other night, so I watched it earlier tonight.

( Huuuunnggrrrry!!!!!!! )

Well, I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow morning.

The Dynamic Duo (otherwise known as Tennant and Tate) are sitting in for Wossy tomorrow on Radio 2. Sadly, the show had to be pre-recorded today, but who cares! They have the most amazing chemistry together and someone really needs to find them a new gig!

You know how I've said that I love music that rips out my heart and stamps on it?

I've been poking around teh interwebz trying to find out if/when a soundtrack album of Murray Gold's music for last year's Doctor Who specials will be released, and I found this on YouTube.

It's the music from the final section of EoT, that beautiful piece of vocal music (Vale Decem - Farewell Ten) that we hear as the Ood appears and the Doctor struggles back to the TARDIS for the final time, followed by the full-blown choral version of the Doctor's theme that we hear leading up to the regeneraton scene.

About twenty seconds of it was all I could take; and I couldn't even watch the video, which, from the little I've seen appears to be a compilation of "best bits".

What the hell is wrong with me??



Yeah, I've gone well and truly round the bend. Just move along and ignore the crazy lady sobbing in the corner...

I’m trying to think of some pithy comments to make about the Cybermen two-parter – Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel - but I seem to be all out of pith.

It’s Ten’s first two-part story and I remember cheering when I saw the Cybermen in the trailer the previous week. I’m a sucker for the return of old enemies.

This one is more of a straightforward adventure story, with the Doctor, Mickey and Rose stuck in an alternative universe where Rose’s Dad is still alive, her parents are rich – but they’ve never had any kids.

( I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room. )

Another Doctor Who fic - not angsty this time! - over at my fic journal.
