Thought I'd start the thread for you guys for tonight's discussion.
(There is an episode in the states, tonight, right?)

Tempted again...I love how you can read in his face how very much he'd want that. Jacob (on TWoP) pointed out how loneliness is really the dominant theme in this season, and you can see that be revisited in so many intriguing ways...Sarah Jane's loneliness at being left behind, Rose's loneliness at the thought of being left behind, Mickey stuck in the car. It carries over nicely, too, from Tooth and Claw, with poor infected boy forced to carry the wolf (nice parallel to the Parting of the Ways), Queen Victoria's loneliness without Albert... |

Well, my response to this one can be summed up with a short play-by-play of my responses while watching with Dave:
"Oooh! Giles!"
(Dave: "It's not Giles. He's got Hannibal Lecter hair." Did I mention he's good with the observiness when he's trying?)
"Eww. Not Giles. Giles doesn't eat little girls. But does he ever work in a high school that doesn't have a Hellmouth?"
"Heee!" (Are we sitting comfortably?)
"OMG...is it? Sarah Jane?"
(Dave: "What?")
"Sarah Jane Smith! She was a companion in the 70's. Doctors 3 and 4! She's a journalist."
(Dave: "How many synapses do you have devoted to this show?" Also, sometimes he's snarky.)
"Squee!" (Yup, it's her.)
"Oh, tell her who you are!"
"Heee!" (So you decided to scream.)
"He's Rose's boyfriend. Well, sort of. I guess ex. He's always hoping she'll come back to him, though. But honestly, given the choice between Mickey and Ten, it's no contest."
"It's not like he ever told you he was coming back for you."
"K-9!"
"Is it worse when they're giggling than when they're sniping at each other?"
(Dave: "Yes.")
"Honey, of course he has to leave them behind. He's 900 years old!"
"I didn't really get that vibe from Sarah Jane back in the day. It's a bit retconned. Especially Doctor 3."
"Look at all the owls." (Will only make sense if you've seen Saturday the 14th.)
"Oh...are they a big computer?"
"Damn, I'm good."
"K-9 could stand to be more direct."
"K-9!" (laser beams)
"Well, you can just make another one. He is Mark III, after all."
"No, don't take Mickey! Gah! He's such a whiner."
"Heh. Told you. New K-9."
"Do I stay with WHO? Which one? Argh."
"Aww." (Some things are worth getting your heart broken for."

Well, I wasn't here to comment on Friday night, but I did jot down notes when I watched my taped ep. So, before I read thru people's posts, here are my "stream of consciousness" thoughts - split into two posts, 'cuz I didn't want that big of a post . . .
;D
ASH!!!! Oooooh, so oily and smarmy. And he’s eating the little kiddies!
Oooooo, the Doctor in glasses, so hottie hot hot!
Hmmmm. The kids are too smart? Is he making them smart before he eats them – that seems a bit of a waste . . .
Heee! Rose all dressed up in kitchen worker garb, dishing out the lunch goo.
Mickey called them – good for you, Mickey! Spotting something is wrong and wronger than the Earth authorities can deal with.
Bleargh! Some kind of flesh eating chemical stuff? Or just icky for the alien-things? So, we’ve got weird aliens in here somehow, someone eating the kiddies, corrosive stuff eating the grown-ups in the kitchen, and hypnotising / smart-making computers? I’ll be interested in seeing how this all ties together.
Oh, ASH is just so wonderfully slimey. Heeeeee! It’s Sarah Jane!
Actually, the questions SJS has are sort of like I’ve had, with various companions. Why does he just leave them sometimes – seems not fair. And we get a glimpse of harsh not-so-happy Doctor. “Everyone dies.” Which reminds me of when he was so happy last season, yelling “everyone lives, Rose” – which is suppose is actually a rarity for him and thus the extreme happiness.
Heee! “Screamed like a little girl.” “I was covered in rats.” Heee! Heck, I’d have screamed too.
Ick! They’re like bat-monster-alien things.
K-9!!!!!!! Yippee!! I love K-9.
Rose asking if he’s gonna just leave her behind too. Ouch! But it’s a good question.

Post two . . .
Heh! I love ASH talking distainfully about the Time Lords and calling them “ancient” and “dusty”. Thought you liked ancient, dusty things Giles?
The Doctor with his “one warning” thing again. And ASH all confident he’ll get the Doctor on his side. What do you have up your sleeve?
“Today we shall become Gods.” Oh, that’s never good . . . .
Interesting. Saying the Doctor is only interested in “preserving the old”. Ah! A chance to change things, make the Time Lords not all die and stuff. But, that’s like the opposite of what he’s all about. You’ve got a smooth tongue in your head, oily-bat-alien-ASH, but the Doctor will listen to Rose and SJS and himself and turn you down.
“The universe has to move along. Everything ends.” Yup. The thing that makes him sad, but the way things have to be.
Oh, cool! ASH does the “Body Snatchers” pod-person scream thing! And K-9 saves them!
#rofl1# “Get the shooty dog thing.”
Heh! Mickey to the rescue too, crashing through the doors and all. And I love his simple solution – just unplug the computers. Heeeee! Wonderfully understated.
Heh - the people-looking look funny, all running with their arms back, like wings.
And K-9 saves the day again! “You’re a good dog.” “Affirmative.” Heh!! “You bad dog!” “Affirmative.” Heee! But K-9 is all blowed up. **sniffs**
#rofl1# “Kenny blew up the school!” Man, he’ll be the hero for the rest of his school days.
Ah, nice sweet-sad ending. Making the Doctor say good bye, K-9 restored, and Mickey coming along for the ride. Cool!

Sarah Jane! She was a bit younger last time. This is touching. It really was, wasn't it? I've thought about that before, what it would be like to have been a companion and now you're just . . . back to normal. I mean, could life ever be normal again? And it was interesting hearing that the Doctor couldn't bear to keep losing people. But he loses them anyway. He's just not seeing the . . . . well, the natural way to lose them. Aging and death. I guess by not seeing it, he can imagine that they're still out there somewhere. Which, since he travels about in time, is actually true, kinda. |

He's soooooo good as the bad headmaster. Loved his scene with The Doctor in the pool room. Very nicely done. Very nicely done! Both of them starting right into the conversation, no pretense of "oh, are you an alien too?" or anything. And each of them being successfully scary/threatening, in their own way. Plus, of course, the hotness. ;D |
