Yessssssss, I finished that ep ^_^ Well, it was nearly-all recons. I'd lost the habit of that. XD Doesn't mean it wasn't nice though! Well, still, I don't have a lot to say about it. Mostly the second part stood out, and I was grateful this one was the only one available for real—I liked the clever thinking about how the explosions worked, breaking the magnetic pull so the beacons wouldn't be entirely destroyed but fragmented into parts, and the fact that this allowed the Doctor to try and pull the pieces together again. That was such a delightfully angsty part, the Doctor trying his hardest to save Jamie, Zoe and himself but knowing there were chances that they wouldn't make it. That moment when he told Zoe "Don't be a pessimist", with such a tired, tired look—desperate, but fighting on for all of their sakes… And that part when they were sharing oxygen and he gave his companions more because he didn't need as much as them. Alienness + selflessness. I loved it to bits. Also, the Doctor was practically sprawled across Jamie's lap with his head against his belly and I approved of that too.

Also, Milo was fun, if a bit shouty. ^_^

ZOE: There's one thing I don't understand.
MILO: Well you're very lucky, girl. There's about a hundred thousand things I don't understand, but I don't stand around asking fool questions about them, I do something useful.

Next up is The War Games. HOW DID THAT EVER HAPPEN?
