Aww. Did anyone else's throat just close up when The Doctor said, "And I was having such a nice day"? And where was she gonna go? Can't they just take her there? I mean, she didn't want to stay on Earth...what was her plan? Yup. And yeah, I thought about that. There had to have been some other place to take her. But even she didn't suggest that . . . . and rigged something to bring about her boom/smash plan anyway. Which seems to suggest that destruction is what she really wanted, even more than getting away . . .

How monstrous are these creatures, that the mere mention of a baby gives her pause? I have to tell you, I really don't get the talking to her while she's on the loo. Especially after the beginning performance. I know! I'd be all "we may be all girls together, but I'm outta here!" I always had the impression that women's lavatories were a sort of social club. ;D

Eeep! One got away! Only told her? Wise move? Um. Not so much. Cariff!! Yays!! Is it just me, or are all of them just too cute for words? All snarking at each other and grinning and . . . damn. Just. Too. Cute!Big ears. Heeeee! Drop a mysterious blue box in the middle of town and what do people do? Yup. Walk past. ;D and very true, too! Hee! Too cute for words. Must be giddy from all that dancing they did. If you say so; if you say so.

So fun - with the power walk up the stairs and the music and all. ;D Hee! "Like he said. Nice plan!" "She's climbing out the window, isn't she?" "Yes, she is." The chase was too funny. "What did I ever do?" "You tried to kill me and destroy the entire planet." "Besides that." ;D A Pan-diemesional surf board?! ?! Where's Douglas Adams now, eh? So - if they take her home she's dead? Well . . . she did kill a whole lot of other people . . . Bad Wolf!!! I don't believe the Doctor's "never mind". Discussion on this point is inevitably political. Oh, no!

Maggie, you and your relatives tried to blow the living hell out of every single person on EARTH. Die, wench. Die. Oh, she deserves it. But unless she'd actually hurt a loved one, I couldn't do it. Bad enough to kill, but in cold blood? I couldn't do it. Of course, this is fiction, so we can be as childishly vengeful as we like! It's acid time for you, Marge! ;D

Oh hell, Maggie, this man destroyed millions of people. You don't stand a chance of escaping. Where did Jack get the neat.. HEEEE! Thanks Maggie, for stealing my line. "Dinner and Bondage. Works for me!" So where did Jack get the neat bondage toys? He had EVERYTHING in his pockets. I think I'll still keep calling her Maggie. Ooo! Poison ring! "Yes. I did." "Just checking" Heee! breathspray. Maybe billions. BTW, I like your sig line. Very zen.

I kinda feel bad for her. She's going to her death. Courtesy of all of them. None of them can look her in the eye! Ooh! Pretty water. Ooooh! Check out the moves. Some couples action here. At last you have consequences. What do you suppose she means by that?A last request. She likes masquerading as a human! That's pretty interesting. He loves a challenge. Look at her face! Dinner and bondage. Works for me. Oh. She's got a little something up her sleeve. Nice to know the Doctor is up for the challenge. I'd would suggest (only suggest, mind you ) that, like most of this ep, it's foreshadowing.

Awwwww. Last fling with Mickey. And the Doctor off with herself. And Captn Jack all alone . . although looking rather happy, frankly. Pottering around with the wiring and all. I don't think goading him about escaping consequences is the way to go. I think he always lives with the consequences. I don't trust her eyes one teeny tiny little bit. Dinner in bondage. Works for me! ;D Totally cute scene at dinner! The classic drug in glass and switcheroo - the finger dart and the breath - the Doctor knowing all about them. ;D I'd say only sometimes. How many stories finish with someone saying, "Right Doctor, you can help us rebuild our society, now you've turned it on it's head. Doctor?" *shot of TARDIS dematerialising* As Margaret says, "I'll bet your always the first to leave, Doctor. Never mind the consequesnces - off you go."

Mickey, you are either a gentleman, or a complete idiot. I'm still trying to decide which. Oh yeah, that's right, vinegar burns these critters. Good god, there are MORE of the Slitheen bastards around? "Pleading for mercy out of a dead woman's lips" chilling line... "You don't even LIKE Trisha Delaney!!!" Well, Rose, you followed your mission. Oh lord, poor Mickey.. "I can't even go out with a girl from the shop because you pick up the phone and I come running..." So you are trying to say you've changed because you showed mercy, once? Schindler's List: the camp commandant. "I pardon you"Nice parellel she's drawing between them. You can see it on his face...... Perfect. As for Mickey, we'll have to see.

Ewww. What a way to go. Ick. I wouldn't believe her either. He's got a point, Rose. You were pretty cavalier. Poor wooby. That suit is having an effect on her, ya think? Thank you, Doctor. Tell it like it is. They're talking about each other to each other.Yes, it's interesting. To his enemies (especially the Daleks), the Doctor is the monster, the dark being who destroys all (from their perspective).

Pleading for mercy with a dead woman's lips. Hmmmm. The conversation between her and the Doctor is really interesting. "Only a killer would know that." "Sometimes you let one go." I wonder. I mean, there is another choice between taking her to be executed (if that's really the truth) and letter her stay there (where I know she'd try her plan again). I mean, can't she go back to her real self and they take her to a neutral planet where she doesn't hate everyone and where she can't cause trouble? Impossible, I think. The thing is, a part of her does want to be good, but it's too late. She is what she is. He can be annoying at times, but one can't help but feel sorry for him. It's been said that the Doctor ruins his life, but it's actually Roses decision to leave that does it.

Killing is all she knows. What is that noise? Uh oh. Is it the reactor? Mickey has some issues, poor lamb. Holy crap. It's the rift! What the hell did you do Jack? It just went crazy! Cardiff is going to disappear! Bugger, what a stupid cable company. It just went nuts. Well, she showing her true colors, isn't she? Bitca. The extrapolator was programmed! She's a smart witch, isn't she? I expect the Doctor has something for her. The ship's alive. You've opened it's soul. Hypnotic. The Tardis comes to the rescue! Phew! That was close. This is very foreshadowy, methinks.She's an egg! Hee! Mickey's leaving. He's sad. They'd wait for her to find him. How sweet. Yeah. A second chance would be nice Rose. Oh, I'd say so.

Okay, NOW I wanna slap Mickey. Do they have any Gelph worries this time, with the rift opening? They shouldnae plugged in Maggie's skateboard..... Jack's got some plan, he's checked with the Doc there? Or did the Doc just acknowledge that Jack was to follow her wishes? No, I don't think surf is exactly up.... "Heart of the TARDIS: you've opened its soul" Were all TARDISes alive in this same fashion, back at the height of the Time Lords? Or is this just a new retcon?Huh. She melted. Deflated. After saying "thank you" Rift sealed. TARDIS glowing all pretty inside. Blon wanted another chance to start over... and the TARDIS granted her wish. "She's an egg." Mickey can go and bite me. He should know better than to be all jealous and quibbly when the planet's exploding. I mean, there's a time and a place, dude. Twit. "That'd be nice" Rose, you aren't responsible for Mickey's issues. NOT AT ALL. All TARDISes are alive. They are machines, but also living creatures. Each TARDIS forms a symbiotic link with it's owner. With a few exceptions, the Doctor is usually the only person who can pilot his. Well, after a fashion. Not only is the TARDIS alive, but, it has been heavily implied, it is female. In the past, the Doctor habitually referred to it as "she", "her", and "old girl". The Ninth Doctor never uses a female pronoun. I did think that this was politcal correctness on the part of the writers, but now I suspect... I'll say no more. We've seen it care for him, like a mother, and there is also an implication that his ability to regenerrate relies on it (or something within it). In fact, the Second Doctor states this. So, there is a suggestion of it bringing about rebirth, which is exactly what it does to Margaret. Bring to this the new TARDIS design: the interior is encrusted with something like coral; the sounds inside are not quite a heartbeat and not quite breathing; the sense of deep-ocean calm; the domed ceiling and subdued lighting, inevitably suggesting the womb (or possibly a church). Well, you see where I'm going with this.
