gogmagogHOLY FUCKING MOTHER OF FUCK
Doctor Who 04x11, "Turn Left"
OMG THEY KILLED MARFA
OMG THEY KILLED SARAH JANE
OMFG THEY KILLED LUKE, MARIA AND CLYDE
THEY KILLED DONNA
Also Gwen and Ianto died fighting the Sontarans, and Jack's probably off being tortured for eternity by the Sontarans, but that somehow doesn't traumatize me as much as the other three. OMG MARFA, SARAH JANE, THE KIDS. And they all bit the dust in a single event, the Judoon hospital attack from "Smith and Jones." (But hey, Sarah Jane managed to stop the MRI machine from destroying life on half the Earth! Still, THEY KILLED THE KIDS. ;_;)
Of course, they also vaporized most of London through the Titanic, and America was devastated by the Adipose, and ATMOS seriously taxed most of the rest of the world. Not to mention the immigrant concentration camps, and the stars going out, and HOLY FUCK.
God, this ep was so depressing, but I think the worst was seeing pre-Doctor Donna, who really IS genuinely unlikable for the most part; it's only her interactions with Rose that bring her back to some semblance of her former awesomeness, at least enough to put things right (or, more accurately, left).
Also, OMG ROSE IS BACK. I loved her paean to the Doctor's "great hair...really, really great hair," and the fact that she clearly has picked up the Doctor's"I'm sorry, so sorry." And Donna, Rose, and Bambera Mk2 working with UNIT was pretty awesome as well, though the dark TARDIS just seemed so sad. The mirror circle scene was ridiculously creepy, and THE MIRROR TIME MACHINE was the awesomest shoutout to Evil of the Daleks (I wonder if it uses static electricity too?).
And that ending was just amazing. BAD WOLF (I knew there was going to be more to that phrase), RED TARDIS (as with the Paradox Machine), CLOISTER BELL (this is the first time hearing the Cloister Bell since "Time Crash," right? And the first actual full episode of the new series to feature it). And the trailer looks equally awesome: the Doctor, Donna, Rose, Martha, Sarah Jane, Luke (unexpected but welcome! I wonder whether Maria and Clyde will show up too, since they did get namechecked this ep; it may have been a way to presage their introduction, as with Luke), Jack, Ianto, Gwen, Wilf (who just gets awesomer and awesomer), Sylvia, the Judoon (with some creepy old lady yelling for the Doctor to come back or turn back), Daleks.
(Also, who was the woman who shows up in the trailer between the Doctor and Donna and Luke? Was that Harriet Jones? EVEN AWESOMER.)
Edit: Also, was the street in Leeds the same street where Martha was caught by the Master during the Year That Never Was in "Last of the Time Lords" (and where Tom saved her life)? Because it may have just been a standard street of row houses, but something about the way it looked reminded me totally of that scene (and I don't remember where it was supposed to be in LotTL).

Date: 2008-06-22 01:54 am (UTC)I'm also pretty sure the streets in Leeds are the same streets are the same from "Last of the Time Lords".
I don't think I can really stand another week of waiting. >_<
Also it seems the Cloister Bell went off in Sound of Drums when the Tardis was turned into a Paradox Machine.

Date: 2008-06-22 02:36 am (UTC)I in fact went and looked it up when I saw your post. I recently got the DVD set with Logopolis in it and was curious about it. I noticed what the wiki said and went back to the ep and in fact it is going off. At the time I watched sound of drums I hadn't known of the Cloister bell and just thought it some alarm.
