TW 1x11-1x13
Watching 'Combat', and I am immensely distracted by how much Mark looks like Stuart Townsend, and thus like Lucifer. This is a fantastic episode, though.
Really fantastic. Lots of Owen, lots of Tosh being useful (hurrah!) and Gwen having the ubiquitous moral meltdown.
I also love how they're completely and unashamedly ripping off Fight Club. It's so blatant that it's homage rather than theft.
ETA: After watching 1x12...I would like to go on record as saying that I am SUPREMELY ANNOYED by the part-time character assassination committed upon one Doctor Owen Harper. UGH. It's even worse because there are brief moments of awesome shining through the SHITE. (PLAAAAAGUE! OWEN AND THE PLAGUE! OWEN USING 'HOUSE' AS AN INSULT! OMG! <3333)
I am also kind of annoyed by the fact that the 'authentic Roman soldier' pronounced 'valde' with a 'v' sound rather than a 'w'. Jesus. I haven't studied Latin for seven years.
Captain Jack (no, the other one) would say that I need to find myself a girl.
ETA 2: BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH. Omg. It was going SO WELL (mutiny zomg!) until the hilarious giant demon appeared. WHOO CRACK.
JACK VS. GIANT DEMON! Better than pterodactyl vs. Cyberwoman!
I should not be finding this as funny as I am. Possibly I'm just amused by the fact that Jack's initial impulse was OKAY SO IT FEEDS ON LIFE, SO I'LL JUST GIVE IT ALL MY LIFE, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE SO HELPFUL!
Christ, this show is...I don't think I have any adjectives that I haven't already used, but fuck. It thinks of the darkest and most painful places that the characters could go, and then shoves them there violently.
musical reunion montage! *squishes them all together with tears of joy*
OMG TARDIS
BEST ENDING EVER AAAHAJDKJHAKJSHASH OMG

I watched it with three other women, and we shrieked like we were dying at the TARDIS noise.
And I continue to LOVE the way they portray grief, because it's none of that I SOB A LITTLE, OH WOE, I DAB AT MY EYES PRETTILY BEHIND MY VEIL, it's I COLLAPSE AND SCREAM AND PLEAD AND HIT THINGS AND PLEAD MORE and it's messy and it's honest and it's completely disbelieving, and OH HOW I LOVE IT.
don't feel bad about laughing at the tacky demon, because I was in HYSTERICS. Chani was like, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT, WHAT and I was there going, THIS IS AMAZING, I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH, ANY HESITATIONS I MAY HAVE HAD ARE GONE, GONE, GONE.
