• I still love the theme music so much.
• Thanks Cinema Sins, now when I see an alarm clock moment I always think of Groundhog Day – (1993 movie).
• Neato, great use of music being narrated and part of the scene.
• Best friends.. with a dude she’s kissing? Or is she dating a gay man?
• Huh, what was that she’s being sent back with? It seemed like she was caught shoplifting for a moment.
• Great pace.
• Glossy dick sucking lips. Mmm.
• “Go have your lovely beans on toast..” hehe.
• On second watch “Go, get rid of that” and having her.. boyfriend? throw away the plastic arm is what gets him attacked later. He’s been “told” about them.
• Oh god, alarm clock.
• “You, inside, right now.” I, am not The Doctor, in this scene.
• On second watch, his commenting on his ears makes a lot more sense.
• Hahaha.. “[h]armless”.
• So.. he cut of the signal to the arm. But. The arm doesn’t have any sort of device in it which would have that make sense, and the sonic screwdriver isn’t constantly interfering. Signals aren’t cut like strings.
• The Doctor holding her hand and explaining the spin of the universe.. I was expecting him to give her a psychic moment of experiencing it too.
• The Tardis makes that much noise?
• Now that I think of it, why do people always consider him “Doctor, who?”, as though he’s not giving his full name, instead of something like “Dr. Woo” as in “Mr. Woo, Doctor of Philosophy“.
• Kennedy assassination.. obvious photoshop is photoshopped.
• If I recall correctly.. When the conspiracy theory dude says “He beings a storm in his wake.” that phrase is also mentioned in later episodes when The Doctor says he’s also known by some as The Stormbringer”.
• The scene with the not-gay boyfriend getting eaten by the trash bin takes too long.
• Creepy plastic boyfriend is creepy.
• The plastic men can transform now? I guess this plastic clone is a new breed of soldier.
• She didn’t close the door when she finally ran in. This seems to be a recurring theme in this show.
• Wait, now the plastic is generating the signals.
• The head melting into the Tardis would be a great explanation for technical problems throughout the series.
• Now a transmitter has to exist, so it’s one-way from the consciousness after all.
• .. the wires would come alive? What?
• How did the Tardis get there? Did they transport it?
• I don’t understand why superior technology would threaten it. It’s been part of an intergalactic community for long enough that it must have experienced this multiple times.
• Conspiracy dude is.. shot? What in the hell, now the dummies can transform themselves to have guns?
• The army of dummies is really great.
• “Just leave him”, establishing the boyfriend as a pussy.
• “Got nowayanahoes, no job, no future, but I’ll tell you what I have got, john mayhas genuisgore undersemus genetics team, I’ve got the runs” .. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?!
• So the tower turning off makes the army of dummies .. dance? Is this perhaps some sort of confusion of the signal before it eventually turns off? But the tower is obviously turned off before they start dancing. They even twitch for a bit after the consciousness explodes.
• Boyfriend runs out of the Tardis like a pussy. Character personality established.
• I love the way he licks his lips after he says “you could come with me”.
• “Thanks for what?” .. “Exactly.” Damn, she’s cold.. though he’s a little pussy so I guess he was just kept around for entertainment value and The Doctor is a real man so she’s upgrading.

• Haha, the Tardas is made to look like a piece of junk with wobbly controls. Seriously, a pump? A bell?!
• “Guests are reminded that platform one forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion.”
• Psychic paper is introduced.
• The song is Tainted Love, by Soft Cell, which is a cover of Gloria Jones.

• When the music is playing, and the tree woman thanks The Doctor, she is holding a musical instrument like the one shown later, in that dude’s museum of alien artifacts.

  • No wait, it just looks like the instrument.
• “As my mate Shareen says, don’t argue with the driver.” .. that character never does get introduced.
• The magic time-and-space telephone is introduced.
• This guy’s filter seems to go down really fast compared to the next one. They should have had his frantic slapping the keypad be what makes it drop faster.
• “Quick word with Michael Jackson.”
• A big guilt trip over plastic surgery.

• The song is Toxic, by Britney Spears.

  • .. which was probably never released as a 45rpm single record.
• It makes no sense to yank out a tube from an arm and have the others fall.
• She mentions the song Burn, Baby, Burn!, by The Electric Hellfire Club.
• The Doctor displays a magical move-fast power which isn’t re-used in this season.
• The repeating computer voice is annoying as all hell.
• Oh, twist a knob and reverse the teleportation. He didn’t even use his sonic screwdriver.
• So the doctor is ok with sitting by and letting someone die.
• “What sort of date are you?” Oh women, expecting everything to be paid for{{!.

• “Go out there, dressed like that, you’ll start a riot, Barbarella!”, is that a reference to the 1968 film?
• The directions The Doctor is giving establishes the staggeringly huge space inside the Tardis.
• “She’s only 19”.. except in those days that would be an adult.
• So time is flexible and things that happen in the past can fuck up that moment’s future.

• This woman’s psychic powers are never explained and are handy as all hell. Though later, the writer also tells The Doctor that there are things he wouldn’t know.

Time isn’t a straight line, it can twist into any shape. You can be born in the 20th century and die in the 19th…

• “.. and now I’m gonna die, in Cardiff.”
• For a decent writer, it’s more than enough time to have however many months until his death, even if he didn’t know about his death, to write about something he’s so excited about. Publication might be difficult, but if he’s popular every scrap he leaves behind will be read.

• “I’ll just tell her I spent the night at Shareen’s.”
• Gone for a year? So fucking what, you have a time machine.
• “You’re so gay.” .. ok, so she has a thing against gay people? So therefore her bestie isn’t gay?
• “We still don’t know if it’s alive or dead, Whitehall is denying everything.” .. maybe they’re just not giving a comment, because denying both is strange.
• The city is gridlocked, making him the acting prime minister. So this only lasts for ten minutes because they can just airlift someone in, right?
• Fart jokes! Fat people are funny.
• Did.. did he just give her the key to his place? That’s moving a little fast.
• Well if the rest of the cabinet can be airlifted in, how is it possible for that guy to remain acting prime minister?
• Fat people are evil.
• Why is she surprised that the technology is alien. It landed in a crashed space ship.
• So Ricky versus Miky. So are they in an alternate timeline?
• They are taken to 10 Downing Street, the covernment’s office.
• Wait, they turned the body into a suit? But they’re holding the skin.
• The prime minister is dead, and not taken over?

• When learning that they’ve been away for 12 months, they could have found a way to get back to the Tardis and gone back in time.
• When walking into the room full of soldiers, The Doctor could have used his Psychic paper.
• They left the Tardis and were captured by soldiers, but could just step back inside.
• “Don’t stand them against the lift.” .. except the elevator door isn’t cover.
• They lock themselves in the cabinet room, and yet its’ been established in this episode that the tardis can be made to appear using its keys.
• Hehe, they pulled an Indiana Jones. =)

• Slitheen arm.
• Cyberman head.
• The introduction of the Dalek. Which are gold now. Hrm.
• The explanation of the destruction of the Time Lords in a war between them and the Dalek.
• Curious how Rose can get along with the other guy, when she’s what, a couple of days away from her boyfriend?
• It’s odd that genius-man wouldn’t value an alliance with The Doctor to learn what he knows. At the very least he would be invaluable in identifying artefacts.
• What the fuck, they don’t have enough power to re-open the door.
• We get to see inside a Dalek right away? Wow, I recall the earlier series taking forever to even hint at there being an inside.
• The Dalek orders her to order it to suicide? Uh.
• .. and exactly how can the assistant (whose name I forget) order the near-murder of van Statten?
• Dammit, I was hoping the Dalek would just kill its biology and leave it’s awesome technology.

• So the dude is her pseudo-boyfriend? Seriously, her friend-with-benefits-boyfriend must have been really easy to forget.
• How come the secondary dude is such an idiot, when he spent a huge amount of time studying alien technology? Wasn’t he described as a genius child?
• Oh hey, I recognize Simon Pegg.
• It’s too bad nobody could go back in time to prevent the alien from being installed in the first place.
• What in the fuck? Why ever would the Tardis key be passed to idiot boy.
• Why would she have a flashlight?
• Magical learning via a hand. Handy.
• A levitating key..
• So.. how is that woman able to command the ship in any way?
• He was gone six months. So what’s all this about a time machine, then?

• Bets on them causing her father’s death.
• Why aren’t they going into the ramifications of saving his life? Because if I were Rose, that’s what I’d want to try.
• Wait, they can go back again? Oh good, they actually get into this sort of thinking.
• Oh, this episode is all about the ramifications of saving his life.
• Oh hey, they mention the window-refrigerator! That’s an idea I had, too.
• So now the monsters have to make lots of noise instead of making people vanish within seconds?
• You came back in time? How? Oh, a time machine? Nowai!
• Oh hey, the little boy is her future former boyfriend.
• The baby has different coloured eyes than her.
• So the mobile phone needs to be charged by the sonic screwdriver, but.. the screwdriver can’t be directly used? Or did I misunderstand this.. are they charging up the screwdriver?

• So why is the time machine still in disrepair? It’s pretty simple to just .. not go anywhere, and repair the damned thing.
• Everything revolves around the UK. These sorts of shows are pretty hilarious.
• Has Jack Harkness, who became the main character in Torchwood.
• Well this is creepy as all hell.

• The music is Glenn Miller – In the Mood

• With the Slitheen again, this continues from s01e04 – “Aliens of London”.
• The Tardis is a living thing?

• This is a spoof on reality television.
• So.. the Dalek are alive still?

• Oh finally they explain going back in time to change something. It splits the timeline, whatever that means.. but isn’t that done every single time they travel in time?
• I don’t see why they can’t just blow the ship away. They said that the thing is shielded only on the topmost floors, so what’s stopping them from lopping off those floors? Perhaps the antennae could be blasted off.
• So do explain how time is progressing at the same rate for Rose and The Doctor. It was described in an earlier episode that the Tardis could return seconds after leaving.
• Wow, Rose is fucking cold.
• Their religion is quite a weakness. Just demonstrate a mistake for their “god” and they’ll turn on him.
• .. I don’t get it, they can zap him before he reacts. So why was there a conversation?
• .. so.. the Dalek are re-extinct?
• Haven’t we long-established that The Doctor is a little old for Rose?
• Ends with the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)
