Yay first full episode with the new Doctor in it.
I like this episode. I just don't know what to say about it though..... well it's a great episode and has a wonderful plot.
This episode gets a scariness rating of........... 1. it's kinda scary when the sycorax pop up on the screen, and when all the people are about to jump off the edge of the building but not very scary.
Things I like about this episode:
When The Doctor beats the Sycorax leader and then the guy trys to attack him and he throws the orange at the button on the wall and the guy falls to his death and The Doctor says "No second chances; that's the sort of man I am."
When The Doctor hand gets chopped off and then he grows a new one (because he had regenerated recently) and he says "(in a funny accent) Its a fightin' hand!!".
Things I don't like about this episode:
When Harriet Jones orders Torch Wood to kill the Sycorax. Why??!!!? I have a lot of these WHY moments when i'm watching DW, I know it didn't really happen but still, some things I just don't like.
When Rose gives up on The Doctor. He wouldn't ever let Rose down.
Awesome quotes from this episode:
The Doctor: My head!
[groans in pain]
The Doctor: I'm having a neuron implosion... I need...
Jackie Tyler: What do you need?
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: Just say it!
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: Tell me, tell me, tell me!
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: Painkillers!
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: D'you need aspirin?
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: Codeine? Paracetamol? Oh, I dunno, Pepto-Bismol?
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: Liquid paraffin? Vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E?
The Doctor: I need...
Jackie Tyler: Is it food? Something simple? Bowl of soup? Nice bowl of soup? Soup and a sandwich? Bowl of soup and a nice ham sandwich?
The Doctor: I *need* you to *shut up*!
Jackie Tyler: Oooh, he hasn't changed that much, has he?
The Doctor: We haven't got much time. If there's pilot fish then... why is there an apple in my dressing gown?
Jackie Tyler: Oh, that's Howard's, sorry.
The Doctor: He keeps apples in his dressing gown?
Jackie Tyler: He gets hungry...
The Doctor: What, he gets hungry in his sleep?
Jackie Tyler: Sometimes.
Jackie Tyler: I'm gonna be killed by a Christmas tree!
Danny Llewellyn: That means they might not be Martians at all!
Major Blake: Of course not, Martians look completely different.
Mickey Smith: Tea. While we're waiting for the world to come to an end. Very British.
Rose Tyler: [after checking the Doctor's heart-rate with a stethoscope] Both working...
Jackie Tyler: What d'you mean, both?
Rose Tyler: Well, he's got two hearts.
Jackie Tyler: Oh, don't be stupid.
Rose Tyler: He has!
Jackie Tyler: [pause] Anything else he's got two of?
Sycorax Leader: I can summon the armada and take this world by force!
The Doctor: Well, yeah, you *could*, you could do that, course you could, but *why*? Look at these people, these human beings, consider their potential. From the day they arrive on this planet and blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do... no, hold on... sorry, that's the Lion King... but the point still stands! Leave them alone!
Sycorax Leader: Or what?
The Doctor: Or...
[grabs Sycorax broadsword]
The Doctor: ...I challenge you!
[the Sycorax roar and shout]
The Doctor: Ooh, that struck a chord...
[first lines]
The Doctor: Jackie, Mickey, blimey! No, no, no, no, hold on. Wait there! I've got something to say. I've got something I had to tell you. Something important, what was it? No, no, no, hold on. Tch tch tch tch... Oh, I know! Merry Christmas!
The Doctor: No second chances. I'm that sort of a man.
The Doctor: I gave them the wrong warning. I should have told them to run, as fast as they can. Run and hide, because the monsters are coming - the human race.
The Doctor: Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannin, just the thing for healing the synapses...
Sycorax Leader: You stand as this world's champion?
The Doctor: Thank you. I've no idea who I am, but you've just summed me up.
Does anyone read all these?
The Doctor: [Doctor has just regenerated a new hand] This new hand, (silly accent)it's a fightin' hand!
Harriet Jones: I know that at this time it is the Queen's speech, but there is something more important. But don't worry, the Royal Family are okay.
[turns off camera]
Harriet Jones: Are they all right?
[muttering]
Harriet Jones: Ah, they're on the roof as well.
The Doctor: Don't challenge me, Harriet Jones. 'Cause I'm a completely new man. I could bring down your Government with a single word.
Harriet Jones: You're the most remarkable man I've ever met. But I don't think you're quite capable of that.
The Doctor: No, you're right. Not a single word.
[pause]
The Doctor: Just six.
Harriet Jones: I don't think so.
The Doctor: Six words.
Harriet Jones: Stop it!
The Doctor: Six.
[approaches Alex, whispering in his ear]
The Doctor: Don't you think she looks tired?
The Doctor: [as Sycorax Leader celebrates cutting The Doctor's hand off] You cut my hand off! And now I know what sort of man I am. I'm lucky, because quite by chance, I'm still within the first 15 hours of my regeneration cycle, which means I have just enough residual cellular energy to do this.
[spontaneously grows hand back]
Sycorax Leader: Witchcraft?
The Doctor: Time Lord!
The Doctor: Now. First thing's first. Be honest. How do I look?
Rose Tyler: Different.
The Doctor: Good different or bad different?
Rose Tyler: Just different.
The Doctor: Am I... ginger?
Rose Tyler: No, you're sort of just... brown.
The Doctor: Aww, I wanted to be ginger. I've never been ginger! And you, Rose Tyler, fat lot of good you were, you gave up on me. Ooh, that's rude. Is that all I am now? Rude? Rude and not ginger?
Sycorax: Who are you?
The Doctor: Well, that's the question, isn't it?
Sycorax: I demand to know who you are!
The Doctor: I DON'T KNOW! I mean, I know I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I-I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. So I'm testing. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic?
[hopeful]
The Doctor: Sexy?
[he winks at Rose]
The Doctor: Am I an old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed? Left-handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor, a liar, a nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence, I've certainly got a gob.
