Babbling my thoughts here right from my notes, then I'll read what you all posted, eh?
Should be taking her home, but . . .
Awwww. Talking about Gallifrey . . . not telling her what happened to it. "Nah, where's the fun for me?" Doesn't want to go home. 'Cuz there's no home left.
Big Face!! And Kitty!nun!! Whoa! **bounces excitedly**
"Rebound." Heh! Well, she's sort of right. Not in a romantic way, at least not yet for him, but the Doctor has always needed to forget the old companion by rushing off with the new one.
"Everyone goes to the motorway in the end." Hmmmmmm.
Selling moods. Like drugs. Yeah, I can see that.
Grabbed? Needed one more to get in the equivalent of the car pool lane.
;D
Oooooh. Angry angry Doctor. I'd pay attention to angry Doctor.
Oh, Martha just rips the mood patch off her neck. Being all doctory, she is. Not Doctory, but doctory. I'm liking how they're both "doctors". ;D
6 years to get where they're going? Oy!
That's just so not right.
Huh. All the flying cars, stacked up and flying nowhere. Creepy!
Kittens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, so cute! Kittehs!! ! They're starting their family while on the road. Heh. Have to be on your friend's list. ;D Awwwww. Sweet not-sisters couple.
Huh. Everyone is just . . . driving to nowhere. Living out their whole freaking lives in their cars. Damn. And I thought continual rush hour was bad here.
Hey, the Doctor means you've got 3 on board now, you could go down to the fast lane. Yup, he thought of that too. Ah. She won't go there. Something bad down there? The scary thing that was attacking the car at the start, maybe? Something huge and hungry living down there. Oh, that's not good.
Well. It would help guarrantee the fast lane stayed fast if lots of the cars get disappeared.
Huh. What's with the song. Is that "the old rugged cross"? Odd. Or is it just me that finds that . . . odd?
Ever
seen a cop car? No. No one is going to help you. There is no one else out there.
He's going to jump down! "If it's any consolation, right now I'm having kittens." Heeeeee!
He "hardly knows her", too busy showing off and he lied to her. Ooooh. The Doctor isn't often that self-knowing and all.
Kittens! Kittens make everything better. ;D
Heeee! "Motorway foot patrol." Taking a survey. ;D I love all the people he drops in on. ;D
Oooooh. No exits anywhere. So, everyone just keeps driving around until they get eaten? Listen to the driver kitty! She knows what she's talking about! Get out of there!
Oh, and nun!Kitty is looking for the Doctor. All armed and stuff.
WTF? Giant . . . lobsterish or crab-like things? Lots of them!
Dang! Whoa, they're
big.
Huh. Go all "run silent, run deep". Yeah! Like in a submarine movie. Good one, Martha.
Nun!Kitty catches up with him . . . oh, not to hurt him but 'cuz she needs help. And the big face thing needs help too, maybe? "Last time we met, you were breeding humans for experimentation." ;D Heee! Love the expression on the guy in the car with them.
Beamed up and only able to do it once. How will he save Martha! And the other people!
Oh. The whole city died . . . 24 year ago. Damn. Virus from a new mood. "It killed the world in 7 minutes flat." Damn.
Ah. And they sealed all the undercity, and thus the drivers, to save them from the virus. Only now they can't let them out and can't get help due to quarntine. Well, now that's a right pickle indeed.
How lonely for the Face and kitty!nun. All those years, just them, hanging on and hoping they'd be able to save the rest of the undercity people somehow, someday. Waiting for the Doctor.
So, how did the Face know the Doctor would come? The way he knows everything, I suppose . . .
Martha's really looking at her real situation now. She "didn't really think", just followed the Doctor. Now she's on her own and the bad side of it all is really hitting her. Our only hope is a stranger. Parallel conversation to when the Doctor was saying he didn't know her.
But she still has confidence. In the Doctor and in them all. They have their beliefs and their songs and she has the Doctor.
Hmmmmmm. I think you're pinning too much of your everything on him, Martha.
Traveling with the Doctor, it's best to hang on to some of your own separateness, I think.
Doctor is gonna power up the undercity again. Oh! The Face! The Face is gonna save them. "I give you my last." Ah, damn.
So, the Face is gonna die, so that he could help the remaining humans here? (Is it Face of Bo, or Bow or maybe Vo? No, sounded like a B . . . I should probably just google it.)
The sun! Open the roof to the motorway, cool! "I'm the Doctor and this is an order. Everyone drive up. Now." ;D
So they're all going to live. And move up into the city and the world where no one else exists.
The Face of Bo has lived billions of years. Legend says he'll speak his final secret to a traveler. Gosh, I wonder who that could be.
"Last of my kind as you are the last of yours". Martha's getting a lot of eye openers in this ep.
That's why we have to survive. Both of us.
"You are not alone." OooooooOoOooh!! So, is another Time Lord still alive then? Are all the Time Lords, maybe in some alt dimension? But . . . they were destroyed in all the times and all the dimensions, yes? Another one or few who survived, somehow? Maybe been hiding? Color me officially very very very intrigued.
"Just what the city needs, cats in charge." Yeah, baby! ;D
"You've got me. Is that what he meant?" "I don't think so. Sorry."
Yeah, I gotta go with the Doctor here. That was too cryptic and dramatic and foreboding a comment to be about companionship or relationship or whatever. I think it really refers to Time Lords somehow being alive. OK, I'm believing that because I always loved the Time Lords and watching the Doctor tease and snark at their slightly snotty and overly controlling ways and want to see them again, but . . .
She's gonna sit there 'til he talks to her properly. Good for you, Martha! I really like her.
Ah. He tells her. Last of the Time Lords. (Hmmmmm, I wouldn't dismiss the Face's comments that easily, Doctor. The dude's been around for billions of years, I think he probably knows a thing or two.)
Tells her about the war, about Gallifrey. Like the start, only now he can really tell her, not just cut off his remembering because he's going to be sad.
Nice ep!! Really gave you the closed in feeling of being in the cars. Lots of funny bits, but also let us have the sad stuff with the dead city and the Face and all and the scary monsters in the bottom lane and the happy ending and all.
