dear god, this show is good
Dec. 29th, 2008 09:53 pmI'm plowing on through S4 of Doctor Who. SO MUCH AWESOME. This season seriously brings the awesome back -- no offense, S3, but you seem to be the weakest series. Although Martha's theme will probably always be my favorite piece of music.
Okay, though, seriously, I thought Rose was meant to be the jeopardy-friendly companion, but Martha definitely wins for most jeopardy-friendly EX-companion. Every episode of anything she turns up in after her stint with the Doctor, she gets kidnapped and strapped down to something, I swear. Torchwood, Who, no difference -- look, it's Martha, let's abduct her! At least her character's personal level of awesome has risen since she got over her crush on the Doctor.
Also? I very nearly died laughing at the "Are you my mummy?" line in "The Poison Sky". NEARLY DIED. Ninth Doctor continuity for the win! (And yes, Rose, I saw you there on that monitor for .005 seconds, you sneaky, sneaky girl.)
I like Jenny -- or, at least, I like the potential that exists in Jenny. I hope she pops back up at some point -- not in this series, according to imdb, but she's clearly out there, and it'd be fun to run across her again. Especially with, say, the Eleventh Doctor instead. I like a good mindfuck.
I hear there are giant wasps in the next episode. I'm seriously considering giving it a miss. I HATE wasps.
ETA: Okay, fine, the wasp episode was really excellent, but can we please declare a moratorium on GIANT STINGING INSECTS from here on out? Thank you. Incidentally, I really wish I hadn't been spoiled for "Journey's End" Donna, because I love her to bits and the end of "The Unicorn and the Wasp" is FUCKING depressing, given the spoilers. Wah.
