Nice bit of final Scheharazade-ing with the jumper woman. Sometime's life isn't all shit. Sometimes it does get better. I like that the energy thing is a reply to our message. "It sang to me." Wow! Owen being all grateful and growing in maturity and so on. Death becomes him. "Everybody else has had a go." And they share the mutual significant look of those who've known and loved the Doctor. Wow! Now Owen is opening up and sharing with Tosh? Damn! Oh! And that's when he saw the jumper woman! Lovely visual of them on the roof and the alien energy glowing lines nad so on. Very nice ep.

That was good. Very good. I like Owen. I'm not actually wishing they'd swap him for Martha. That's some miraculously good writing right there. Although, if I could get both of them, I'd so keep them. Tosh is dating the wrong doctor. more thoughts beccaelizabeth.livejournal.com/1354229.htmlAgreement! And yes, if we could get both, well that's another story.

I get to #nods a lot# at you now! Quick add regarding the "no breath" that Owen had. He didn't get visibly out of breath while running because he didn't need the oxygen. He's got "breath" to speak but it's just his dead, non-oxygen-needing muscles moving the air bags behind his vocal chords and making them function for speech. But, being dead, there would be no oxygen in his exhaled breath to use for mouth-to-mouth on a patient. I imagine the same for Angel not being able to resuscitate Buffy. That's my take on it, anyway. ;D um, we don't specially pump oxygen out. there's oxygen in the air and we breathe it in. So if his lungs aren't doing anything chemical any more then there's exactly as much oxygen going out as going in. Which is plenty. Someone on a comment somewhere on LJ reckons it was a moment where his new self-image as a dead man wrecked his intellectual understanding; he had breath, he just didn't believe he had, right then. I was thinking how he jumped in the water before, with a hole in his chest. Maybe he got full up... I wonder if it's supposed to be that he actually doesn't have breath. Like, he's not actually moving air, like his gastro-intestinal system isn't working, isn't moving material either. Only way to make food or drink move is . . . manually. And perhaps that is true of moving air in and out? So he can't act like a "bellows", so to speak?

The life and death of Owen Harper. Owen's no longer real. Feeling Owen's wounds. Like Jesus? And they actually make reference to Jesus. Definitely seemed intentional. Heee! I would tend to assume that they do, but I could be wrong. The visuals were excellent in this ep. That's what I was thinking too!! With the jumper woman?

Just posting this link to be's livejournal because her thinky-thoughts blew me away with their wowness, and I figured that by the time people get to this point, it would be difficult to find prospecting in her journal, and I want others to be able to share in her interesting thinkiness. be's thoughts on Dr. Owen Harper(hope I'm not being too presumptuous, be, I was just rather impressed. ) Love these summary-type sentences: Especially that last one! Sooooo true.

Owen finally said he was sorry! Whoo hoo! I was right--I said he would one day eat his words when he said "I don't do apologies." I love the way your mind works. ;D I don't think Jack really meant it or expected he would be getting over it. But he wanted to say somethat that might . . . shock him out of his current mindset? But now they know more about his condition. And he's interacting with them and not just shut away. So I guess they need to figure out how to move forward.
