flowsoffireI've done it! I've finished watching the War Games ♥
Oh, dear god. Well, where shall I start? The ep was very interesting, of course—humans stolen from their time zones and brought together to be used for war, all the while believing they were still in their own world—but let's face it, all throughout I was on the edge of my seat squealing everytime there was a reference to the Time Lords. It was awesome. It started with a trial, as it would end. There were random Roman soldiers and hypnotizing glasses and brainwashing machines and truth machines that were really fascinating to see in action. There was the use of Mr. John Smith and the sonic screwdriver. There were girl power moments and Zoe kicking ass and Zoe and Jamie being unbearably cute. AND THERE WERE TIME LORDS. The War Chief really looked like one incarnation of the Master whose name I fail to remember at the moment for some reason, and his plans of dominion and peace over the universe were brilliant. Those Time Lords never fail to have vision ;) His confrontations with the Doctor—awesome. Just awesome. I LOVED how lost and utterly all over the place the Doctor seemed at the mere notion of facing the Time Lords, all those desperate attempts to run away. (NB: the War Chief was killed and did not regenerate. Canon in progress, continuity is not a thing…)
The trial was brilliant. The Time Lords' mix of utterly calm and peaceful appearance/behaviour and incredible mind powers was a fair bit chilling. And such irony by the end—the Doctor pretending he was only going to get a scolding, assuring he wouldn't forget Jamie and Zoe and vice versa, while knowing what was going to happen to them, but reassuring them all the same ♥ Jamie and Zoe sent back to their worlds, only remembering one adventure with him, never their whole connection… I teared up a bit. So bittersweet. And his horror at the thought of exile on Earth, oh dear. I am just so full of emotions about all of this ♥♥♥
I just can't believe it. Two is done. Three and Liz and Spearhead from Space are next. And NaNo starts tomorrow. Holy shit. XD
Love y'all ♥

And that final scene was so heartbreaking! Jamie! Zoe! Both losing so much!

OH GOD YES. I was just transfixed everytime there was a hint about Time Lords, his reactions were so fascinating, and an actual confrontation… yessss.
Babies! ♥♥♥ It's so heart-wrenching.
