The Stolen Earth

[meddow]

Expect excessives amount of hyperbole, exclamation marks and squee in the following post



Oh! My! Fucking! God! I LOVE THIS SHOW

That episode should come with a warning. Dangerous levels of squee may cause viewers to experience embarrassing failing reactions.

First off: Harriet Jones! She was twenty five million different kinds of fantastic. I shall never doubt you again RTD when it comes to writing character arcs. 1. She did not repent what she did in TCI. She stood by it. You go girl. 2. She wasn't angry or bitter at the Doctor. 3. She devised the day saving plan. 4. She took control of Torchwood and started barking out orders, with no authority. 5. Bravely sacrificing herself.

That's my Harriet.

Rose was back. Not mysterious pseudo-Doctor Rose, but actual Rose, the selfish jealous Rose. This is good! I have no idea why, but I loved her reappearance.

Sarah! Sarah recognising Davros! Crashing her car into Daleks (Sarah, a truck works much better. Ask Babs).

Mr Smith's fanfare is canon!

Martha! Rose being jealous of Martha! I want to know what that key was. Francine! (Hey, I like Francine)

DW Jack. Oh I love DW!Jack. He should met Torchwood!Jack and teach him how to be likeable, although they'd end up making out.

Worse bit: Regeneration. Mainly because I'm not sure what to make of the regeneration at all.

The best bit: the lame plan at the heart of the Dalek Invasion of Earth was just retconned to be intriguing, over forty years after the serial was written. I love this show!

Donna. Ticking. Losses yet to come. The most faithful companion will experience endless death. Does not sound good.

(Seriously, RTD, did you have to put 'most faithful' in there. I hate it when the companions are pitted against each other to be the best at any regard).

Cannot write more. Brain imploding from squee.

*snorfle* DW Jack > TW Jack. Actually DW Torchwood > uh, Torchwood, Torchwood.

Seeing you are so awesome on theories, what is your take on the regernation? Fake, or not fake?

[meddow.livejournal.com]

Yes to the Torchwood observation. Although SJA didn't come off as better, but then most of the characters are MIA.

I'm really not sure what to make of the regeneration. This may be because half my brain is still in squee mode and thus I have limited capacity for thought at the moment. Although its got to be some kind of fake out. Unless DT is being replace by previously unmentioned twin brother. Or the two Tens rumour is true (please no.)

[artic-fox.livejournal.com]

TWO TENS? WTF? I didn't hear that rumour. There are a few possibilities, but with all the Xmas special filming pics, and the word of David Tennant being offered more money by the BBC, all indicates appear to be that this is... not a "true" regeneration in the sense of the word. Unless we get an Eleven who looks exactly like Ten but with a different personality. Now, that could be weird, but definitely have potential. Or otherwise they stop it somehow. OH WHO KNOWS. I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT ANYMORE.

[meddow.livejournal.com]

The two Tens rumour is that he will regenerate into two versions of himself, Blue suited Ten and Brown suited Ten and after the universe is saved and all that, one of them goes off to live with Rose in her universe, without the TARDIS, and they live happily ever after, and it's the Deathly Hallows epilogue all over again.

Don't think I would like Eleven being the same bloke with a different personality. Be a bit weird.

[artic-fox.livejournal.com]

Having Eleven the same bloke with a different personality is definitely preferable to having two Tens, if you ask me. That would be too... wrong. I mean, I'm sad that Ten/Rose probably won't get a happy ever after, but I don't think I'd quite go to those lengths to get one for them either. I think having DT as an Eleven could be potentially hilarious. Same face, but different personality and we know that Tennant could handle it. It would be... an adjustment, that's for sure. But then again... it is all speculation at this point. Is it an actual regeneration? If so, is it a normal one, or can they stop it? There were lingering shots on the fightin' hand in a jar, which may/may not be relevant too. God, how am I supposed to wait a WEEK?

[jadeddiva.livejournal.com]

Was there supposed to be a regeneration or did I miss that spoiler?

ALSO: my girl Martha represented. And I've never seen SJA so that was great. And my Torchwood...ah.

Needless to say, I kept screaming "WHAT? WHAT?" at the end.

[meddow.livejournal.com]

There's been a rumour going around about a regeneration gone wrong and the Doctor splitting in two. But we know Tennant's in the next episode and the Christmas special.

Seems Martha was trusted with the future of humanity. Go Martha! And if you can, do watch SJA. It's a wonderful little show.

DW Jack. Oh I love DW!Jack. He should met Torchwood!Jack and teach him how to be likeable, although they'd end up making out.

LMAO! :D

There has to be some sort of regeneration loophole or something... cause I don't think they could fake us out over something THAT BIG. I've seen a theory that it has something to do with the hand.

Gah. Doctor Who has killed my brain.

[meddow.livejournal.com]

That would be the greatest secret ever kept with quiet an elaborate use of David Tennant if the regeneration is true.

And DW may have killed my brain as well. This episode really should have come with a warning.

Wordy McWordy Word. I'm still so boingy that I can barely speak. But I babbled alot of similar things in my own journal. :)

[meddow.livejournal.com]

It took a good hour before the squee had died down for me and I could think straight again.

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

I have to watch it again. I was so busy bouncing that I missed a few things. I am still pretty psyched!
