Fear Her

[drakyndra]

Completely spoiler free, because I am too lazy to do a proper review or anything right now, but all I have to say is that I really liked this episode, and I haven't the faintest idea why.

I mean, it hasn't got the gorgeous visual style of Tooth and Claw or Girl in the Fireplace. It hasn't got the brilliant emotional stuff like GitF or School Reunion. It hasn't got the creepiness and philosophising of The Impossible Planet two parter, or the deeply fun vibe of Rusty's eps, or even the Mickey stuff that made me like the Cyberman eps. It hasn't even got the fandom imploding ability of Love and Monsters

But, I still really liked it. And I haven't the foggiest why.

Maybe it's the Matt Graham effect (I still can't define exactly what it is about Life on Mars that makes me like it so much). Or maybe it's just the fact I've finished exams, which puts me in a good mood.

Also, the trailer for the next ep? Is rocking my world.

ETA: Everywhere I go, I see hating on this episode. WHY? How can people hate something that made me cry? Yes, I am terribly soppy, but still...

It just has some mysterious quality about it that makes it lovable, doesn't it? Weird.

But the hate is a bit depressing. And I'm shying back from the OG and all, partially for reactions, and partially because I don't want to get any more spoiled for the finale than I currently am.

And Ten is teh love, truly. Mmm, oral fixation...

It had a strange greatness about it, the dialogue was at times some of the best yet. Ten really did it for me, talky-wise. And in many other ways which I shan't go into.
MMMM ORAL *THUD AGAIN*

Yes, there was some fabbo dialogue. Ten was all chatty and snarky, and I love chatty snark. No shouty bits, either. And as predictable as it was, Ten with the torch made me laugh so incredibly hard.

Ten is all mouth, oh yes indeedy.

There seems to be a lot of hate for chatty snarky Ten, and it's precisely what I love about him. I don't understand why people have such a problem with it.
All mouth, oh yes.

Maybe it's the fact that I come from Buffy and Angel and all those shows that are all about the dialogue, but I have deep love for anything that is as intensely quotable and fun as the scripts for Doctor Who. And Tennant seems to pull off the kind of dialogue I like better than Eccleston did.

But then I always preferred spending time with chatty people than silent types.

Hmmm, Tennant does the chatty thing so goddamned well, it makes me freaking hot. I was never overly keen on Eccleston's delivery of teh funneh.

He does do it well. And people who claim they can't understand him baffle me, because I've never had a problem. And I had the same deal with Eccleston - quickfire witticisms aren't what I'd consider his forte,
