In the land of Mark
'Fire of Pompeii' is up

Thought this was kind of neat. For those that didn't know/didn't spot Karen Gillan, here's a breakdown of her scenes in 'The Fires of Pompeii.'

I think the question of this episode is "will he recognize Karen or not?"

Rewatching this episode yet again, I wonder if Mark will catch on to the missing planets at this point.

Agh, crying into my lunch as I rewatch the episode again. Gets me every time, that ending. Can't wait to see Mark's reaction, I know it broke him too.
I just rewatched it, and I TOTALLY forgot that the nasty prophet what's-his-name told Donna "There's something on your back." HELLO CREEPY FORESHADOWING.

SO MEDUSA CASCADE. I remembered 'hearing' it prior to the last episode, but I didn't realize it was in THIS one until Karen quoted it.

The cascade of Medusa herself!

off topic but kid of not...
currently watching remembrance of the daleks for the first time out of interest in seeing ace (shame on me for not watching one with her before, she's great!)
and at one point she turns on the tv (she is currently in 1960 something- I don't think they specified which year exactly)
and the screen reads BBC and the announcer says "the programming continues with the new sci fi series, Doc-" and she turns it off and leaves. I LAUGHED MY HEAD OFF! Brilliant!
I love you, Classic Who!

And Mark thought this was sad. He's going to lose it when we say goodbye to Donna.

You know what? I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE LOT OF YOU.
THESE COMMENTS DON'T HAVE NEAR ENOUGH GIFS.

So there was apparently a spoiler on page 2 that Mark deleted - anyone catch what it said?

So, is "I am Spartacus" and "So am I," along with all of the people that mistakenly think they are married foreshadowing for the DoctorDonna or just a funny running joke?

Soooo. Freema Agyeman was in Doomsday and Karen Gillian was in Fires of Pompeii. Hmm. I wonder if there were anymore actors reused in Doctor Who that I didn't notice.
