Mark Watches ‘Doctor Who’: S03E13 – The Last of the Time Lords

Over at 'Mark Watches' the review for The Last of the Time Lords is up.

Spoilers (and Martha's Theme) below


Goodbye Martha. Unfortunately for you, you really drew the short stick as far as new companions go this year. Not only was the Doctor a jerk and completely oblivious to how much you cared about him in a romantic way, but your family was also enslaved by the Master and forced to work for him for a year. A year that no one else is going to remember, but that they can because they were in 'the eye of the storm.' And that sucks! Especially since you were so kick-ass! Poor Martha. We'll see you again, but you still deserve all the hugs in the world. See you next season!



And now that you're reaching for your tissue box, here's something to cheer you up a bit. Doctor Who + Doctor Horrible? I'm surprised the internet hasn't exploded from the pure win yet.



It's not fair. I keep on finding absolutely wonderful Master videos! I had to search for hours to find something remotely interesting to add to The Family of Blood's post and here the Master is having great videos falling out of his ears! Last one! I swear!

Those videos are amazing. Just priceless.

Can't wait to see what Mark and everybody else makes of Last of the Time Lords. The discussion of Martha's character and arc should be interesting at least. I also have a gif spam ready for my comment anyway although it may end up taking a little to turn up because of the 5 or more links setting.

I'm wondering what everyone makes of Jack's Face of Boe comment? A joke or do you think he's actually everyone's favourite giant head in a jar?

Also, Happy Forever Alone Day everyone!

Finished writing up my review, though I'll look over Mark's and add things in as necessary before posting, as always (I am a fast reader and writer). Had to watch a bit of the episode to get some screencaps, which... bleh. I had intended to never watch JesusDobbyDoctor again, thank you very much. THE THINGS I DO.

Now I'm watching Eleventh Hour again over lunch. I've got a line in my review about how I'd love to go on adventures with a Doctor, but not Ten. Eleven, though... I'd go anywhere and everywhere with Eleven.

I just want to say that I CANNOT WAIT until we get to the very end of Partners in Crime and THERE IS ROSE.

Mark is going to SHIT A BRICK. It will be AWESOME. He is SO not prepared.

I can't finish my thought over there for spoilers so:

"Also: MARTHA JONES + TOM MILLIGAN FOREVAH!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

There is no way I can express how much I agree with THIS, SO VERY MUCH."

She did not show up randomly married to Mickey. They were too busy piloting the Tardis to chat and then he went back with Rose and Jackie. She's Martha Jones-Milligan who works at UNIT and keeps an eye on Donna to make sure she's okay even if she can't actually make her better.

I may be taking this too far.

Random comment is random, but I'm watching The Mind Robber and it is amazing.
Okay, I may regret posting this, but was anyone else just a tiny bit surprised that Mark didn't comment on how the Master was apparently hitting Lucy? Or at least that's how it comes off to me, her whole demeanor just screams "battered wife". And she does, you know, kill him.

I love the Master, but for some reason the implication that he abuses Lucy makes me feel guilty about liking him (but the whole evil overlord, murdering humanity thing doesn't, which is weird). It's pretty much exactly how I feel about Spike, from Buffy. I adore Spike, and him being an evil murderous demon doesn't bug me, but the fact that he tried to rape Buffy does. I think it has something to do with the fact that batshit insane alien overlords and evil snarky vampires are rather rare in the real world, but abusers and rapists are all too common.

Does anyone else have that issue?

I love the Titanic cliff hanger but I'm not going to lie, I kind of dread when he actually watches the Titanic special.

Guys that was the longest comment I have ever written. I had to break it up! I am pretty sure it wasn't as coherent as it should've been, but, it's out there, and it feels good.
I'm a bit disappointed that Mark chose "The Caves of Androzani" as his first Fifth Doctor story. It's a great serial, but, well, it's also Five's last. Seems weird to have his introduction to Five include his regeneration.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, what everyone's favorite couple/ship, canon or otherwise? Canonwise, for me it's Amy and Rory (after Amy's choice). I glee so hard when they make out in the finale.

this has nothing to do with anything but I just randomly got

this stuck in my head.

now I wish I hadn't lent my blackpool dvds to my friend. I'll never get them back and I want to watch them immediately. ugh.
Crap, I just got on Netflix to watch Voyage of the Damned, and it is abundantly clear that Donna is the Season 4 companion. Damn you Netflix, don't you know Mark can't know these things.
