DW: MIDNIGHT SPOILERS

[spin]

I HAVE NO WORDS. THAT EPISODE WAS AMAZING. SERIOUSLY, ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE EPISODES OF NEW WHO, HANDS DOWN. I AM IN LOVE WITH RUSSELL T DAVIES ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE HE CLEARLY LOVES 'LORD OF THE FLIES' THE SAME WAY I DO. ABSOLUTE FUCKING LOVE FROM ME, RTD.

Seriously though, this was such a good Tenth Doctor episode. Such a good summary of who he is, I think. The beginning bits, all the fade-ins to all the different conversations? That was painfully good and sweet and heart-warming. And then the slow build into hysteria? And that horrific silence in the aftermath? Ugh, I'm sorry, I'm just overwhelmed. It was so good. I can't even articulate my feelings.

And Donna and the Doctor! So fucking sweet. I love them. I nearly cried with my love for them.

Tennant fucking BLEW MY MIND at least six different times, as did pretty much everyone else in the episode. Even Claude, who only had like six lines. The performances were unbelievable. The direction, too.

YES!! YES!! YES!!! I just wrote a long post extolling the virtues of this episode, RTD and David Tennant. FABULOUS, AMAZING episode. I loved it so much.

OH MY GOD IT WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME.

YES.

Oh my GOD it was GREAT. It was funny and light and ensemble-casty in the beginning (that's how to make us care about characters we don't know) and then the descent. Into absolute madness. And you're right, it was a real shining moment for Tennant, who got to be all over the place in a good way.

(And I laughed like a goon when the teenager made the creature say "six-six-six." Oh, that was so funny and so wrong.)

And the way they filmed Sky with the lights making her shadow on the wall OH GOD IT WAS TERRIFYING AND AWESOME.

I'm not usually one to extol the virtues of RTD, but that shit was impressive.
