I am kind of expiplicably, insanely, more excited about seeing Lucy, than I am about the Master. I have no idea.

I loved the episode, but I agree about the suicide thing, I too thought she was going to shoot him until she closed the door. I loved the bit with the ood, it was strange, he seemed really ready to die... I didn't like the "Time Lord Victorious", it scared me.

Can't wait for Christmas! And I think we get a sneak peek on Children in Need next week :D

[pluckyyounggirl]

Heh, I know! I think it's because I've known about the Master forever (I mean, seriously, the rumours started at least a year ago, right?), but I only heard about Lucy a few weeks ago. And I didn't even like her that much originally, but I'm really interested in seeing where she is now.

"Time Lord Victorious" was SCARY and INSANE. Srsly.

I have mixed feelings about Christmas. I am sure that RTD will do the story justice, but I am afraid as hell of that very possible reset button looming overhead. I just don't want it to ruin everything that DW has meant to me.

[fairest_stars]

I hadn't heard about Lucy either, maybe that's why I'm so excited :) In particular, I really can't wait to see how Lucy and the Master react to each other (I'm assuming that they won't have seen each other since she SHOT him).

I really, really, REALLY, want Christmas to be amazing. I too am terrified that they're just going to press reset and I'll end up hating RTD.

Did he really snap out of it too quickly? I kind of hope/suspect that he's going to be crazy for a while.

[pluckyyounggirl]

I don't know! He still might be? I kind of hope the same, really. It just seemed so odd - he was all with the completely going insane and then just went "Oh wait, hold on, I went too far! La la la, back to normal then!"

Saying I hope there will be more Insane!Ten sounds really wrong. Particularly since at the same time I just want the old Doctor back. I think what I'm hoping for is probably more Insane!Ten followed by redemption, preferably before regeneration. I don't want to remember Ten like this.

Barley disapproves of Ten being a douche.

I did think he snapped back pretty quickly, but I thought that maybe Adelaide's suicide hit his "Holy shit" button, or something?

Also, am I the only person who didn't see Lucy in the trailer? Am I blind or something?

[pluckyyounggirl]

Oh hai Barls!

One would hope that that button was hit, yeah. But I also think he might still go off to the deep end. He's now seen what he can do, finally actually realising his power for what seems like the first time since the Time War. I don't think it's that easy coming back from that, not even with a suicide to snap you out of it.

I really wonder how they'll explain that one to the kids.

[pluckyyounggirl]

Oh, I forgot to say - Lucy has a fringe, so maybe that's why you didn't recognise her straight away, but she's totally there and very pretty-looking!

Also I am worried for the Ood with the split heads. Poor Ood!

...I think I'll just go back to my happy world of Steed and Mrs Peel fighting evil whilst being stylish and cute and consuming lots of champagne and flirting endlessly.

That was the only part of the episode I was unsure about.
Does the Doctor snap out of it when he falls to his knees in front of the Odd or does his defiant, "NO" in the TARDIS indicate that he is going to on being batshit crazy?

[pluckyyounggirl]

I think he's probably trying to snap out of it, but I am not sure whether that will work or not. I do hope he comes back from it eventually, before he goes out. Oh, Doctor.

[dictionary00]

I vote for the continuing of crazy. It just seems like such a rich place to explore his character before the end?

[nimbusxl]

Well at least Dreamland should give us a final look at the doctor that we know and love.

[pluckyyounggirl]

I'm so behind, I have no idea when Dreamland airs or when it's supposed to take place or anything. It might be a spark of hope! Until then, I'll just be over there, watching SJA, thankyouverymuch.
