Doctor Who 4x05: The Poison Sky
EEEE! MY FLAIL, LET ME SHOW YOU IT.
I have no thinky thoughts, really, just squee.
* DONNA! With the win! And the being terrified yet totally heroic - I love this reluctant hero thing on her part, it's really great to watch.
* Brig reference YAY! I had a little flaily dance at that and everything. What the hell is he doing in Peru, mind, and I would like fic about that plz.
* Speaking of, Colonel Mace for the complete and utter win! I thought so last episode too, but here he was just fantastic and completely deserving of being in charge of UNIT, even if he didn't get as much Doctor!love as he could have. He gets the pretty captain instead though so that's quite all right. :D Theirloveisso stiff upper lip.
* The UNIT theme music rocks my world.
* MARTHA JONES. With the compassion for her clone and the way she just gets on with saving the world and even when the Doctor's about to sacrifice himself she doesn't question it because she thinks he's right - and Donna does challenge him, because that right there is the contrast in their characters - and TEN'S COAT and there was snuggles and the way the two of them were in the episode was so, so lovely. And we got that 'thank you' moment which was perfect and exactly what was required and EEEE they love each other so much and ♥.
* And she didn't want to go with them even though it was wonderful because you go, and then you come back again better for it and can be happy with that, which to be honest is an idea that's been a little lost with some characters, and it's important Donna hears that, I think. But yay engagement ring and can we please get Tom back sometime?
* Basically, I am SO EXCITED about this team TARDIS, because between all three of them the epic win is astounding. And, God, as they keep throwing more characters into this season surely my brain's going to implode from all the awesome in the same place. Good way to go, y/y?

Everyone was awesome in this ep, but Martha, OH, Martha, she was just absolutely fantastic. The Doctor's coat! Being compassionate and yet so kickass! Her 'DON'T YOU DARE, DOCTOR' when the TARDIS flies off, OH. But yeah, this particular team TARDIS is so made of win that I'm worried they'll make my poor laptop go highwire. SO MUCH SHINY, SO LITTLE SPACE.
And now I'm so so intrigued about Rose! Which I'd never thought I'd say, haha. Now THAT is good storytelling. Color me surprised. :D :D

MARTHA MARTHA MARTHA. Her yelling at the Doctor and Donna hitting him in the very same episode, hee!
And ooooh I know, the Rose bit was fantastic - I love how they're layering it as this Big Mystery for the audience while the characters have not a clue anything's going on, very awesome.

Yeah, I definitely dig that - they're going for Subtle this season around, which, you know: JOY.
