1. The Doctor Regenerates
Butterflies & Hurricanes - Muse
"Change,
everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called.
Fights, battles have begun
revenge will surely come
your hard times are ahead.
Best,
you've got to be the best,
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard.
Your time is now."
2. The eternal traveller...
Wanderlust - Bjork
"Lust for comfort suffocates me;
this relentless restlessness liberates me.
I feel at home whenever the unknown surrounds me.
I receive it's embrace
aboard my floating house."
3. The Battle of Canary Warf
Earth Intruders - Bjork
"Here come the earth intruders,
we are the paratroopers,
some beat of sharp shooters,
come straight from voodoo.
Metallic carnage, furiocity,
feel the speed."
4. Remembering Rose
You Were the Last High - The Dandy Warhols
"It was Chicago for a moment and then
it was Paris and London for a few days.
I am alone, but adored
by a hundred thousand more.
Then I swore, when you were the last-
When you were the last high."
5. Have you met Miss Jones?
Just One of Those Things - Cole Porter
"It was just one of those nights,
just one of those fabulous flights.
A trip to the moon, on gossamer wings -
just one of those things."
6. Jack finds the Doctor.
"I've been racing for you honey,
but you take your love
from under my feet
the very moment I arrive.
I hold the invitation in my hand,
you smile and I don't understand
when you tell me the writing ain't yours.
You were the one thing I could count on,
even if your apathy was what I expected.
Oh darling, I waited and waited to feel your footsteps
and to hear your breath -
but maybe I just wanted someone to wait for."
7. The Doctor and Donna
Invincible - Muse
"Follow through,
make your dreams come true.
Don't give up the fight,
you will be all right,
'cause there's no one like you
in the universe.
And during the struggle
they will pull us down.
But please, please let's use this chance to
turn things around.
And tonight we can truly say;
together we're invincible."
8. Rose Returns
Across the Sky - Emilie Autumn
"See beyond the moment,
think beyond the day.
Hear the word,
my voice will not be cast away.
Fatalistic fortune,
ever near the end.
Love goes on
but Time does not return again.
Across the sky
I will come for you.
If you ask me to.
Demystify,
your uncommon dreams.
Stranger things have come true."
9. Donna's mind is wiped
Atoms for Peace - Thome Yorke
"No more going to the dark side
with your flying saucer eyes.
No more falling down a wormhole
that I have to pull you out.
Wriggling, twiggling worm inside
devours from the inside out.
No more talk about the old days...
...No more leaky hose in your brain,
and no false starts."
10. Travelling alone
Starlight - Muse
"Far away, this ship is taking me far away.
Far away from the memories
of the people who care if I live or die.
Starlight, I will be chasing the starlight,
until the end of my life.
I don't know if it's worth it anymore."
11. The Doctor regenerates.
Pluto - Bjork
"Excuse me, I just have explode.
Explode this body of me.
I'll be brand new tomorrow.
A little bit tired,
but brand new."
The moving in on the earth from afar and centering down on England was of course a reference to RTD's first ever episode 'Rose'. Self referential and self-indulgent? Possibly, but we'll let him get away with it because he deserves it. The line about 'pagan rituals to chase away the dark and the cold' was, for me, a "Yay" moment because it occured to me as a representation of DW's liberal (atheist) agenda. <3 And a bit of a giggle.
Churchtimes with Wilf:
The TARDIS in the window, also a reference back to 'Rose'? (Traces of the Doctor all through history.) Also, was that bit about ((get thee to)) a nunnery a reference to a classic ep at all? I do hope so...
And then!
The White Gaurdian, right?
Oodsphere:
Okay, so when I first saw the CiN preview, I thought it was a joke, like, the first part wasn't actually a part of the episode. Super-suprised, therefore, to find it still there. So then, hang on, what does it mean then. Oh yeah, that the Doctor's gone TOTALLY BATSHIT. Chanty oods sit very well with me, though. Let's play with rhythm and speech patterns! It makes for dramatic tension! <3 The fact that the Doctor had to 'unlock' his TARDIS on the way back in was quite nice I though, the wrongness of it, the joke now so out of place - super effective!
We like the Mister Master:
Yay! Cult! This makes perfect sense to me, of course he has a cult. Why wouldn't he? He's that kind of bloke. That kind of bloke with mind control technology. Does anyone suddenly have an Ophelia vibe off Lucy? (Okay, to be honest, I was getting a Lucy Saxon vibe of Ophelia. >.< Literature, you're doin' it wrong...) Anyway, if Mrs Saxon starts picking flowers, then I know how this one ends. At this point I had to pause it for a min to go do the whole family christmas, which meant I had a naked and swirly John Simm paused in large format on the wall for a brief time. I'm not a major Simm fangirl, but I suppose it's not an entirely objectionable state of affairs. While I suppose Lucy's suprise counterplan was a nice twist, I was so rooting for her to have gone quite entirely round the twist. She might still though, so, I'll keep chipper.
A lot of the rest of it will need a rewatch before I can possibly pass comment. So, as for the rest of it, we will simply have sporadic silliness.
Return of the double reindeer antlers! Yaaaay!
Firstly, the Doctor falling all to pieces is actually genuinely scary. Also, if the universe is converging on Wilf, does that mean the strands of time are still pulling together, and as such "One will still die."?
On seeing this:
Am I the only one who immediately thought of this:
And this:
Was not scary. It just kinda gave me the giggles. Whoops. I was thinking that it would have been more effective to have all different actors acting like the Master, rather than lots of replicated Simms. But then it occured to me that kids would totally have no idea what was going on if they did that ... hmm... Buuuut, Donna is not effected! For the why? Mystery! Intrigue! Enough irrelevent speculation to tide us over 'til new years! Yay!
And finally!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Also, I really, really, really, want this to mean that they might reintroduce Romana at some point. I mean, she did come back for the eighth Doctor audios, they might bring her back again? Please?
