I stayed up late watching the new Doctor Who…

Wow.  There is absolutely no organization whatsoever to my thoughts on this episode.

Turn Left.

I’m not going to lie, I had read some comments/recaps after watching and a lot of people made mention of the fact that so many questions were answered.  Um…I didn’t get it.  I don’t get what questions were answered.

I get the thing on her back.  Pompeii Girl or one of the strange ass Pompeii people had mentioned her having something on her back.  But I wonder, has it always been there?  I’m confused by that now.

Holy crap….

Midnight

I wasn’t expecting much with this one.  Seriously I thought it was going to suck more than a soggy pretzel.  But it didn’t.  It was beyond expectations for me.

First off, Doctor I have to tell you something you should have learned in nine hundred years…you never, ever say: “What could go wrong?” or anything along those lines.  That goes for promising people that everything is going to be fine and everyone will make it out alive.

If you should ever hear a Time Lord utter anything of that nature, run like hell and don’t stop until you hit an ocean and then swim for it.

Well hell I sure wasn’t expecting that.

Forest of the Dead.

Forgive me but I’ll probably be working backwards on this episode.  I’m slightly shocked.

Apparently Professor River Song isn’t evil.  I hate to say it but I ended up liking her in this second half.  Not loving her, but liking her.  She knows the Doctor’s name, something he wouldn’t just tell to anyone.  Though I have to confess I’m not entirely convinced they had a romantic relationship.  I think it’s a trick the writer’s are playing on us.  They make you think he would only tell his name to someone he loved/married/mated for life with.  Then again in 900+ years we know he’s had a family, probably been in love, surely that lot knew his name.  For that matter I’m certain the Master knows his name and I only say that from the conversation they have in The Sound of Drums.

Oh god my brain hurts! 

Silence in the Library 

*blinks*I have no words.  Literally no words.  I didn’t hate this, but I’m so freaking confused I have no idea what the frack is going on. 

First off, I want to go to this planet!  A planet that’s a freaking library how great is that?  I’d spend my life just sitting and reading and getting fat.  Loved that Ten wouldn’t let Donna read any of the books.  “Spoilers!”  I noticed that the word was used a good amount during this episode.  Clearly the writers are trying to tell us something, but I can’t see to crack this code. 

Oh my god!!  New Doctor Who!

This was by far the cheesiest, silliest, strangest, wacked out, cracked out, freakishly awesome episode ever!!  I bleeping loved it!

I was SO happy to see a bit of fun after the trauma of the last few episodes!  Normally I can pin down one or two things that really stood out for me but damn this one EVERYTHING stood out!

Right from the get go we see them spying a party and joining in.  I loved that the Doctor told Donna she looked lovely, and I liked that he said it with sincerity and didn’t do the “for a human” bit like he did with Rose in Unquiet Dead.

The party guests were just beyond the norm, I loved every single one of them.  We see another reference to being married, but good call Agatha, no rings!  Nice bit of advice she gives them as well.  Totally loved Ten’s defense of Time Lords being decent guys!
