The Girl in the Fireplace

I think that was the best episode of Doctor Who ever made.

I was quite intrigued but not so smitten. However, I think M de P would have made a great companion. Perhaps he can go back and steal her away.

*flails* Why didn't I like it? It just didn't feel like Doctor Who to me!

It didn't make sense on so many levels, yet it really rocked. My favourite since The Empty Child, I think.

But what happened to the fantastic gardening?

I was sobbing at the end of it.

It was lovely, exciting, complex, emotional and all those other nice things, but I really got annoyed by The Doctor taking Arthur through into the ballroom to save Reinette. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get back to the spaceship -- he was knowingly endangering not only his own life, but the lives of Mickey and Rose as well. Which didn't feel right.

That aside, I'm in awe of Moffat (and almost in love with Myles), and I cried at the end. This show is rather wonderful, isn't it? :-)

Finally watched my download, and I'm with you, it was wonderful! Loved the way it managed to get to the heart of the the Doctor's emotional experience, all those fleeting moments with humans where they take the slow path and he takes the fast one and they never quite connect. Awesome. And I loved Sophia Myles.
