I'm gonna have to watch again, 'cause I was wrapping presents and may have missed some stuff. But I'm not happy about all the foreshadowing having to do with Rose. **nods** It's nervous-making, that's what it is.

Heh. Mine doesn't do that. Be thankful. Unless a beautiful tenor is important to you, that is. Hee! No, that was the line from the movie, when she removes her false penis. Casanova says, "Mine doesn't do that."

And it's not even as subtle as "Bad Wolf".

Man, they pick the worst frickin' spots for commercial breaks... You know why? NO COMMERCIALS on the the BBC! Can you frickin' believe that? That's why the commercial break is so unnatural when it's rebroadcast in the states. But, of course, we have to pay the TV licence, which funds the BBC. Hence they have no adverts. It's worth the money, actually.

So they don't break the hour into acts, meaning there's no "natural" lull. Interesting. The flip side to that is watching DVDs of shows that did contain adverts when they were broadcast, and trying to guess where the breaks were. Well, it passes the time. ;D

Part II The Doctor can mind meld? Or something? Shadow proclamation. Car crash. Hmm. Rose and Doctor differ on the isolus. Doctor was a dad once. Rose knows so little about him, really. Time Lords have limited telepathic abilities. The most interesting example of this is what has become known in fandom as Doctor's Orders. He seems to have the ability (though he's loathe to use it) of simply telling people what to do, and they obey without question. It was seen in the last season when he orders a group of suspicious soldiers into action in "The Aliens of London" or when he stops Jackie in full flow in "Father's Day" and she meekly obeys him. But the most notable instance is probably from the classic series, when the Seventh Doctor walks into the middle of a battlefield and simply orders everyone to stop fighting. This ability has never been openly discussed in the show, and is only used rarely. Interesting, though.

Heavy? Well, the target audience are eight-year-olds. ;D But, yes, we're near the endgame for this season.

Part IV Heh. The Doctor carrying the torch. That was wonderful. Cheesy and dorky and yet awwwwww as well. **nods** Thump, thump, I hear foreshadow-y boots falling all over the place. Eetah!

That bit was interesting, because I think it's meant to tell us that Susan really was his granddaughter. I always wondered what happened to her parents, though. Much to the horror of a particular fan group, RTD has obviously decided to settle this once and for all. There are some earlier suggestions. In "Father's Day" the Doctor mentions that the destruction of Gallifrey means that his "entire family" is dead. Personally, I never really doubted that Susan was his granddaughter.

So, it's the two-part season finale next. Hop aboard that emotional rollercoaster!

I'm resigned to the fact that something awful involving Rose is gonna happen, but I've managed to keep from being spoiled about it, which is hard when the entire series has aired somewhere else already. I just hope they can refrain from killing her. I mean, it's a kids' show...no need to kill the teenager. It's not like she's Adric. But any number of things short of killing her will still result in emotional damage to the Doctor, which I suspect is the goal....
