Doctor Who "The Impossible Planet"

[regala_electra]

elrina753 is killing me by showing me screencaps that are unintentionally NAUGHTY.

Okay, the Rocco/Ten hug was yay and Rocco's hair was awesome(I know, that's not his name, but it to me, just as in School Reunion, the villian was Evil!Giles).

And screencaps of the hug make it look a lot less innocent than it may have been. Heeee. Tarina wanted them to jump on a bed, I think this was even better. The Doctor really will hug anyone.

This ep. I swear. I've been pleasified by much in this year, but this ep was just plain awesome. Alien planet! There's evil afoot...could it be Satan? /Church Lady

And it is Satan! Look out, y'all.

Un!Comfortable discussions! Endearing moments! Rose's mascara (for I am the only person in the universe that likes it)!

The Doctor dressed as an astronut!

Question: What is Watfords? Please explain to this confuzzled American what "This is the best Christmas Watford's will ever have" means.

I want to use exclamation points of joy throughout this post, but I shall not, because that is teh lame. Instead I will say I am intrigued and it was so very nice and twisted.

Poor Ood. Rose's attempts to understand them were in no way similar to Hermione's S.P.E.W. actions, Hermione refuses to listen to any of the House Elves whereas Rose was trying to get some context, although she could tell Asshat Guy Who is So Dead's behavior towards them was very Not On.

I doubt the TARDIS is gone forevah, but still, it was a nice and geniune moment and indeed an upgrade from, "The TARDIS is DEAD. Oh wait, no, it's just downtime, let's go muck about Alterna Earth and fight some Cybermen." Here it was the loss of the Doctor's real home and it was a lovely moment.

*is just a big bundle of happy*

Tarina and I are watching Jeeves and Wooster. Which I have never seen before. Hee, seeing Hugh Laurie first in House and now in this. Hee. He's so very different in House. All the piano playing in this though, makes me very happy.

Man, he really does do one of the best American accents out there. Flawless.

Also, Stephen Fry/Jeeves owns all.

If you're enjoying the Fry and Laurie-ness, i'd recommend watching their sketch comedy show, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, if you can get hold of it. They are SO funny. Totally the dynamic duo of the entertainment world. I love them to bits :D

I can't wait to see the rest of the series, it was highly amusing to see Hugh Laurie before 'House.'

Heh. Right away I went to a S.P.E.W. place with Rose and the Oods. Rose is better than Hermione at going about it, that's for sure, but I bet Hermione could get her to purchase a button.

I, too, am a very happy girl about this episode. :)

I didn't catch the "Watsford" word, either, but I translated it in my head as "the orphans." But, as I said, I didn't really hear it, so I could be making that up. *g*

Watford is a place in London, perhaps that is what was meant? I didn't hear that being said, myself.

I thought the episode was awesome, I really loved it.

It was answered below, but thanks.

Oh, nice icon.

I did enjoy that moment in the finale.

[fickledame.livejournal.com]

Thanks! My favourite moment.

Eastenders is actually set in Walford, not Watford, so I didn't make the connection.

[stevie-jane.livejournal.com]

"This is going to be the best Christmas Watford's ever had" refers to Eastenders, a very well known UK soap, it has a tendancy to have varied and traumatic events happen at Christmas, so any character on Eastenders saying it'll be a great Christmas spells DOOM, much like the other phrases the Doctor mentioned.

[stevie-jane.livejournal.com]

PS. Eastenders is set in Watford, obviously, should have had that mentioned in there!

Sorry I'm replying so late, but thanks for the information.

And...they really say it everytime during Christmas?

Heh.

[fickledame.livejournal.com]

They don't say it exactly, but if anyone looks remotely happy, or puts up a tree or something, you just know they are going to die or have something really, really horrible happen to them.

That soap should carry a "causes you to want you to slit your wrists it's so depressing" label.
