Dr Who - The Lazarus Experiment

[castalia]

Yay, the good eps are back! After suffering through the two-parter with its bad accents, cheesy rubber masks, and the Showgirl/Pigman romance, I was ready for something other than a historical. Although, I suppose I'll give them some props for the kid with the not-the-worst-I've-heard-on-TV Tennessee accent, and for actually having him put in the "superior intelligence" category thus avoiding the stereotype.

Anyway.

I was not bored at all this week. Crazy science experiments! Martha kicking ass and taking names! More allusions to Mr Saxon and we actually got to meet him this time. And he seems to be intimately acquainted with the Doctor, at least enough that he's warning the companion's mother about him. Whoo!

I like Tish, especially when she and Martha are being all brave and clever together. Can we keep her, too? And Leo could tag along for the ride and we'd have a great little group for a change.

Although, speaking of groups, the previews made me squee so damn much. Captain Jack! The guy from Life on Mars! Man, I can't wait.

Also, before I forget, Ten with tux + chucks = win!

Edited to add: Also also, the Doctor turning the organ up to eleven!! Spinal Tap references also FTW!

Eurovision next week, which is a bummer on the one hand b/c it means I have to wait to see all that awesomeness they teased us with, but on the other hand, Eurovision! Still, nothing will be as much fun as last year's winner. Lordi FTW!

And now I've abused enough exclamation marks for one post. Yikes.

I am head over heels for Martha right now, and I'm getting rather fond of her family as well.

Tonight's ep just made my whole day, I swear. I'm still bouncy. Man, I so need some good Dr Who icons!! I can't believe I only have the one, and it's not squeeful. For shame.

Martha got to use the sonic screwdriver! This is a thing of JOY. I am shameful that I do not have a Martha icon yet. In my own defense I do have The Doctor with a kitten.

I have tried to make a Martha-with-sonic-screwdriver icon but my screencaps, they fail me. In the only good shot of her with it, she's holding it too far away from her face for a 100x100 crop to work. Blast!

*is soothed by Ten with Kitten*

umm, just Martha with sonic? *ponders*

i am BOREDBOREDBORED waiting for my DL to finish

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

Martha with sonic would be fab, but I can't capture any good shots for it. Oh well. I'll try something with just Martha instead, mebbe.

Did you get to watch it yet??

Are any (http://pics.livejournal.com/akire_yta/pic/0007de2h) of (http://pics.livejournal.com/akire_yta/pic/0007eky6) these (http://pics.livejournal.com/akire_yta/pic/0007f6d8) along the lines of what you wanted? I can alter, adjust, try again (first pass over lunch) - just say the word!

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thanks! I like the last one especially, so I may see what I can do with that :)

Martha and Tish were great! And I love Martha's mum and her suspicion of the Doctor, even back when she thinks he is just an Unsuitable Boyfriend! (And in about forty years, the Doctor will think back to that conversation and realise what Mrs Jones was assuming, hee!)

Martha's mum is awesome, though I do wonder about the dysfunctional status of the family and whether or not we'll be seeing another "getting the family back together" type of thing like we did with the Tylers.
