DW, series 3

[rm]

Right. So just finished Human Nature/Family of Blood.

I can't decide if I can't articulate about it or don't wwant to. But among, many, many other things, there was a moment that so perfectly captured my experience of anguish as a writer (specifically what I was trying to describe after I wrote the first Annie story and couldn't do anything for a couple of days after) ....

*shudder*

Another really good two-parter. I actually felt a lump in my throat at the Armistice Day memorial service at the end. The episode after that, "Blink," is really damn good...and had they ended the series then, I would have been happy. The three-part finale that followed all of this was, to sum up in one word, ass (even if Jack shows up for most of it). I don't want to get into it, as I'll rattle off and spoil.

I burst into tears like five different time sduring that episode.

Watching Blink now.

Trying to get thruogh the whole rest of the season tonight.

Dude! How can you look away from the tv to post while watching Blink?

*shudder* More nerve than I have. But then, I have mannequin fear. Major mannequin fear. Probably instilled by watching Dr. Who when I was three years old. This show has always had a thing for human-shaped Things That Shouldn't Move But Do.

It's on pause

Always!
One of the very first episodes, away back at the beginning, when I was a child, had a statue, that moved and nabbed one of the first companions. I think I still have unexpected-grabby issues because of it.

As did I ...

I'm right there with you. My only problem with the end of Family of Blood was that I'd have been much happier if Tim had been true to his convictions had been a medic or something similar in the War. Seeing him become a soldier after his (and the Doctor's talk about peace) bothered me a great deal.

Blink was perhaps one of the two or three best Doctor Who episodes ever. OTOH, I definitely enjoyed Utopia, but thought that last two were less good (and found most of the last episode to be utterly ludicrous)

Yes! When I first saw the episode, I really expected that this was what he would do. I remember being surprised to see him on the battlefield as a soldier.

Not everyone got to be a medic. It was very competitive, because it was marginally less dangerous. In the end, they sent a lot of boys over who would rather not be carrying a gun. But as Tim said, if you think it's important enough to fight for...
