talkingsoupFinished the third season. Now trying to get a hold of "Voyage of the Damned" and "Time Crash," since apparently we must see them.
So, uh,
Captain Jack Harkness is the Face of Boe and that's about the only thing that made this episode emotionally bearable. It was painful. Emotionally painful.
Like, seriously, how can one man have so much shit happen to him, have so much go wrong in his life, lose absolutely everything and still, like, live?
Oh my God, someone, please go be his companion now. He tries so hard to be all nonchalant but Christ he's the loneliest person in the universe and he needs friends. Now.
The Master dying in his arms was almost too much. I've read up enough on the Master's history to know how much they mean to each other. Best enemies kind of thing. Never mind that they're the last two in the entire fucking universe.
Oh Doc. I'd go with you just to keep you company, never mind all the planets and civilizations and time travel. That'd just be a bonus.
God I sound like a psychotic fangirl. I'm not, really, but still. I have a thing for lonely, tortured characters.

I loved that CJH was the Face of Boe. I know they pulled it out of their asses at the beginning of Season 2, but it works SO well. Still not gonna see Torchwood though.
Bet you're glad the Master's not really dead though. Though it seems we won't be seeing him in that body, since it's all burned 'n stuff.
Oh, IIII can't deciiide whether you should live or die...

We LOLed so fucking hard. I know though, I mean, how the hell did he manage to get to all those places--unless the FACE Face of Boe is just so awesome he can just appear where/whenever he damn well pleases (End of the World? New-New-New-New-New-New New York? No prob).
I figured it out just as I was getting in the shower that wifey wife had to have known something when she shot him. I just wonder what's going to happen next with him.
LOLOLOL

Actually I liked the X-Mas specials. The first one isn't great, but it's technically David Tennant's first episode, so it's good for that, and the second one is good and involves next season's new companion.
Well it's implied that he's rich and famous, so it wouldn't be any harder for him to get around than, say, Cassandra.
Well, you saw her picking up THE RING right?

Date: 2008-01-30 05:21 am (UTC)Ah, okay, I'll have to check them out then.
True enough, I'm just wondering how he ended up in all those whens, considering the Doc broke his teleporter doohikey.
"Year 2007 of AD, here follows the account of Mrs. Saxon and the finding of the Ring of Power."

Date: 2008-01-30 05:26 am (UTC)Yep. Although a lot of people don't like the new companion, I think she brings something new to the table (i.e. a female character that isn't "Oh, Doctor!" all the time).
It's called "living forever".
Lol! Well, after the Harry Potter reference in the Shakespeare episode, I wouldn't put it past them.

Date: 2008-01-30 05:31 am (UTC)Oh, so a new one shows up? Hm. I liked Martha, but I liked Rose better, I think. You wouldn't believe the wars going on between those two camps, lol.
Okay, so then I suppose that him dying in New x1000 New York comes, chronologically, after the End of the World, that is, original Earth? But I that that was a million years in the future or some such.
Oh my god, I nearly died when Shakespeare shouted "Expelliarmus." Best fucking moment ever.

Date: 2008-01-30 05:44 am (UTC)I guess. I dunno. Hard to say.
It was brilliant, but I also really liked the part where Shakespeare hit on the Doctor and he responded with something like, "50 academics just punched the air." That episode was very good.

Date: 2008-01-30 06:47 am (UTC)Well, wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff and all that. He is the Face of Boe, I assume he can just be any damn place he wants to be (and any damn when).
Oh god I know. Brilliant.
