Ghost in the machine. So this is like in Smile Time, except without the orgasms. #rofl1#

Oh, I did like "That was the sound of something ending, and about time, too." Very nice, wasn't it?

And he licks the TV. And it goes to color! OK, there are those orgasms. The face is the soul? Loved the inspector - all "portable TV!" and "color TV!". Some classic bits in this ep. The villian that tells us all about their plan. The flunky that helps the villian because he wants to save himself and of course is the one who is completely destroyed. The "brave and clever" lad who saves the day. Plus - how can you not love an ep with an "Audrey-like" villian screaming "feed me" and the line "Rubber soles. Swear by 'em!" ? ;D

The house is in her mum's name and so he goes. And Rose, thinking about her own dad, tells Tommy to not cut things off totally with his own. "He's an idiot." "He's your dad." And an idiot. No "rose-colored glasses" gal, her. Seeing things how they really are. Good ep. Now I'm off to BSG!

I enjoyed this episode as well, although I thought the metaphor of the "passive audience" was a little too broadly drawn...the faceless masses huddled in front of the television set. But Rose and the Doctor; you get a deepening of their relationship, especially the "This time it's personal" moment when the Doctor finds out that not only has Rose been "defaced" but been thrown out on the street like garbage. There is a scarier moment implied here, though, because that's what happens when the Doctor leaves a companion...you just become one more anonymous person in a crowd of anonymous people. Not that this is what could happen with Rose at some point in the future, but I think that's the fear, made quite real by her encounter with Sarah Jane.

Loved the classic villian stuff, too. And all the actual clips of the coronation in the background - going on like nothing is happening, and all the while the city is getting cleaned up so that it looks like nothing is wrong.

Yeah, the metaphor of the passive audience - well, I kinda resemble that remark. That's why I like chatting - makes it not so passive, you know? The Doctor and the moment he sees Rose all faceless, that was very scary. He's all 'ladida', until it gets personal. Never thought about comparing Rose with all the companions that The Doctor has had to leave behind. I don't think he thought about it much until he saw Sarah Jane again, and saw her pain from being left behind. Now we see how emotionally involved he's become with Rose, and we see his pain when she has been basically taken from him.
