Because there are too many days in the week that aren't Saturday
Gosh, it seems like a long week until next Saturday! So, a bit more on episode 12.
I love Wikipedia for looking up info on TV. In particular, they have excellent continuity sections on big programmes like Doctor Who, and from the article on The Stolen Earth I picked up a couple of things that had passed me by while watching.
01. I knew the Mr Copper Foundation that invented the subwave network rang a bell, and for anyone else that was slow on the uptake, I have worked out why - he's the guide from 'Voyage of the Damned', last seen wandering off into the snow at the end of the episode. So that's what he's been up to, then. A nice touch, I thought.
02. Haha, and I'd forgotten that Clom was the twin planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius, home of the Abzorbaloff from 'Love and Monsters'. "Clom, who'd want Clom?!"
03. The gun Jack zaps away with to find the Doctor? The modified defabricator gun from Satellite Five! Hee, that's fantastic, and appropriate as this is the most Who S1!Jack we've seen since, well, Series 1.
So, I am of the opinion that the section of the episode from 27 minutes in to 35:00 is everything you could possibly want from Doctor Who, and I can't stop watching it. Subwave network of epic awesome! Flirting, teamwork, in-jokes, fantastic soundtrack, improbable technology, a heroic death (or is it?) complete with an 'oh the humanity' moment, and then culminating in the TARDIS flying into the GIANT RADIO WAVES OF DOOM. ♥ ♥ ♥
Lastly, and mostly because coming up with some of the names amused me far too much not to share, a poll!
This was the episode wherein everyone and their mother, quite literally, was awesome, but who was the greatest of them all? I've assembled what should be an fairly all-encompassing shortlist.
[Poll #1213793]
I really can't decide yet, gosh. I was so flaily about them all! For now, I am owned by Wilf and his paint-gun. :D

Hee! Yes, well, I think it's saving itself for its undoubted starring role next episode.
... Still not Saturday, damn!
no subject
I'm hoping the hand starts running around the place like the one in the Adams Family... not likely to happen but I still expect to see it's hand in the titles, David Tennant, Catherine Tate, THE HAND!
How is it only Tuesday is what I want to know I can't remember the last time a week went this slowly *whines*
