Absolutely no coherent thoughts on the episode's plot, I just have to follow the pack and say this about Doctor Who:


"I think Jack wants this dance."
"Oh, I'm sure he does, Rose. Absolutely sure. But who with?" *starrrrres at Jack, end of episode, and while there's no ttile saying 'and then they dun sex', there might as well have been*

This *after* the episode has explicitly used 'dancing' as a codeword for sex. And established that Jack 'dances' with other men. And made canon the fact that the soldier from last week was his boyfriend. And had him relate the tale of getting out of a death sentence by shagging both executioners ("lovely couple, they kept in touch"). Oh, honorary mention to the man Nancy blackmailed with details of his gay love affair.

I'm amazed the Daily Mail isn't screaming from the rooftops about this, what with the whole technically-a-children's-show thing. But I love the BBC so much at this moment.

(Oh, on the ship side - I know the Doctor and Rose never kiss. RTD's said so often enough. But I was completely expecting them to during the first dance in the hospital. And the "you assume I can't... dance" conversation was a bit loaded with UST, eh?)

It's that nice, 'Charter year, nobody can touch us' confidence...

But, oh god...that was great. I love Stephen Moffat so much right now. And I'm not even a shipper.

'Those would have been terrible last words'
Classic. I can see Five saying that.

The more I think about it, the more I think you're right about the similarities between Five and Nine. Five's not that far off from a Nine who didn't go through the Time War and was never allowed near caffeine.

Oh, and who doesn't talk about sex constantly. :p

I'm convinced Five wanted to shag Tegan but was too shy to even try it on - then Peri turned up with her magnificent chest and he was working his way up to maybe holding her hand when he got killed. Nine's determined this isn't going to happen again so he rampantly flirts with anyone attractive who crosses his path...

You know every single one of my desires for DWfic centres around other Doctors visiting Five and shocking him? (Sadly, none of the ones in The Five Doctors.) My Six/Five crackplans you already know, and where Nine's concerned, I want him to show up and rampantly flirt with all of Five's companions in front of him.

I was expecting better things from the plot. But the dashingly polysexual Captain Jack was rather more fun in this eppy than in the previous, and banana/gun swapping was fun.

But dear lord, Christopher Eccleston cannot dance to save himself, can he?

As someone on NewWho said, he has enthusiasm...

I really wanted him to break into the Snoopy Dance that Xander does on Buffy. Because that would be the cutest thing ever. Officially. In fact the cute would break my brain.

Wah!

Get out of my head!
As if the mental 'ba-na-na-nanana' wasn't bad enough...

The BBC rocks. As do CE, BP, RTD and Coupling guy.
That was just so damned enjoyable.

I cannot believe all that was allowed. It was fantastic.

Wasn't it just *glorious*?! I absolutely squealed with delight at that final scene.

How can they give us this and then take it away after one season? Where is the justice? ::shakes fist at the universe::

[owl]

Argh the inhabitants of the TARDIS are flirting leik woah!

[gwynnega]

Oh, that was just too marvelous.

You know what? I ended that episode really, really wishing that Jack had cut in and danced with The Doctor which is weird because there's only a small slash bone in my body.

Thought you might want to post this: http://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2S7GO7V9W93MW2UMY8IMHT0D8A

Also, if you know anyone after larger versions of the episodes I can easily transfer them via AIM.

OK... just finished Rose.

OMG. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the downloadable ep. OMG.

Now downloading The End of the World.

God, it feels good to fansquee about something that is actually still producing new eps.
