That is quite a blatant lie regarding this post: I have more than one thing to say.
- First of all, I have to say that I HEART THE MASTER QUITE A LOT. Er, despite the genocidal maniacal tendencies he has. And the evil. Evil is hot, shut up. (and so is John Simm, and I didn't realise this until the RETINA SCORCHINGLY HOT kiss he had with Lucy Saxon, because adbffdhbrgBVDJB.)
- Jaaaaaaack is the Face of Boe! Now, see, I've read lots of people reacting to this badly, but it made me sob (later, when I was away from the people I was watching it with), because, I don't know, I just thought it was beautiful. I know in terms of plotting and actually making sense it's a bit not-working-ish, but I REALLY DON'T CARE. Just the thought that Jack will become this aged, wonderful, majestic, proud, respected, glorious, wise thing that most people talk about with awe in their voices makes me cry. That, and the fact that THE DOCTOR IS THERE WHEN HE DIES. HE DIES FOR THE DOCTOR. OH GOD. *weeps like a child*
Although you'd think he'd let on there. You know, 'I'm dyyyying, here is the caaaaat, I am saving Neeew Newww Yoooork, You Are Not Alone (and remember those damn initials, fool) AND BY THE WAY I AM JACK AND I'M STILL NOT REALLY OVER YOU KISS TIEM NAO?'. Or would that screw up some timeline thing, because the Doctor is supposed to not know about that yet, or...or...no, really, I would have let on. Possibly by flinging my big old face self onto the HOT HOT DOCTOR as my final dying act (mmm, Tennant), but that's just me.
- SPEAKING OF DEATH SCENES. That was just perfect. Just...utterly. Tennant is so, so good at the man pain. And the earlier hug thing, when the Master was all cowering and terrified etc, and the bleak look in the Doctor's eyes, and in my brain, straight after the Master 'dies' (shut up, he's not dead WHY DO YOU SAY SUCH HORRIBLE THINGS TO ME), Jack goes and consoles himwith sex and kissings.
- YES, also, where was all the Big Gay Kissings? I mean, okay, the Doctor/Master relationship is pretty much canon in everyone's face, but JACK was there, and he didn't kiss anyone? Noooo. There are no words for how much I want the Doctor to be on Torchwood, just for the sex with Jack, because I think I would explode, along with half the world. THE HALF WITH EYES.
- And seeing as they had Jack around, couldn't they have done a bit more with him? I felt a bit cheated out of Jack.
- WAY TO SHOW US THE INTERESTING STUFF LIKE A WHOLE FUCKED UP MISSING YEAR THERE BBC. I feel ficage coming on.
- And if it wasn't enough that the awesome villian got killed off, they FUCKING BURNT HIS BODY. That's just rubbing salt in a wound, really. HA HA LOOK HOW DEAD HE IS NOW. Nice.
- Oooh, but how fabulous would Master-as-companion have been? There is a fic I am writing to address this issue of mine, actually, and it is happy in my brain.
- Though he is clearly not dead, having been saved by Lucy of Awesome (I am oddly attached to Lucy Saxon) to Awes another day (I tried to make a verb out of 'awesome'. It's trickier than you'd think).
- THE DANCE OF AWESOME TO THE SCISSOR SISTERS SAXON SONG OF CRAZY. I have never been more gleeful to see onscreen dancing, ever. And the Master singing along was several shades of perfect, and the way he just pushed the Doctor into a wall made me all kinds of squirmy in the dom/sub issues in that pairing kind of way. And it annoyed me that the dance of hot with the Doctor and the Master would have been all sorts of hot had Tennant not been under several pounds of unattractiveness.
- The Doctor lived in a tent. With a dogbowl.you know he was secretly all sexually turned on and stuff by that I hate my brain sometimes.
- I didn't, however, like Old!Doctor (I have issues with age make-up, namely that I HATE IT) or tiny-wisened-house-elf!Doctor, because DAVID TENNANT IS PRETTY, PUT HIM BACK IN MY FACE PLEASE.
- For this reason, I didn't mind speshul-glowy-powers!Doctor, because I was too busy flailing over hot Doctor's return.
- Master with crazy sex/bed hair creep-dancing across a room to torment the bird-cage Doctor for no reason was groovy, thanks.
- What else? Oh, yes, Martha is all sorts of crazy awesome, and I love her and have done all season, and I hope she's back a bit next season. I love that she left the Doctor for her own reasons, and I love that she went back and told him flat out what an arse he'd been and how she deserved better. And I love that she still knows that she will want to work it out more, and she gave him the phone, and generally I think Martha rocks.
- TITANIC WHAT.
To sum up: Tennant = hot. Tennant = good at man pain.

Date: 2007-07-02 11:39 pm (UTC)here is the caaaaat LOLWHUT WHY ON EARTH DID I CRACK UP SO MUCH AT THIS. IDK. Re Jack as Face of Boe: I, too, have seen loads of people's incredibly negative reactions, but I was trying to work out today whether I liked it or not, and I actually genuinely don't know, because I'm simply TOO SHOCKED. Still. But as it's Doctor Who, and when you put it into perspective, and think, I'm watching a programme about some guy who travels in time and oh by the way he can come back to life thirteen times, and all that, I don't think I can even be bothered to object to something on the grounds of "but that's insane", and your argument of poignancy sort of won me round, so in conclusion
Jack is hotYAYE JACK/BOE. (no wait not like that. I mean. Not really physically possible. In more ways than one.) Although, yes, kissing, where? Not even as a goodbye? D: And and yes Martha is all kinds of awesome.(I CAN'T DECIIIIDE WHETHER YOU SHOULD LIVE OR DIEEEEEE)

Oh come ON, someone's got to write Jack/Jack at some point. What about that bit in Utopia?
"Hey, you could go find yourself."
"You think I'm out there somewhere?"
"Sure, why not. Only man you'll ever be happy with."

I feel gratified and pleased that my argument of poignancy sort of won you round, because it was clearly both well-worded and coherant. *sporfle*
If I could, I would make JACK/BOE physically possible, just...er...because I want to, and so, er, yes.
