Right then.

RATTIGAN ACADEMY?!! XD XD XD XD XD XD XD.  Man, I so wanted all that kid genius' little minions to start singing "Oh Rattigan!" from The Great Mouse Detective.  That would be just gold.  The little guy struck me as a sort of mouse-faced (sorry) Seth Cohen-type character.  They should TOTALLY have got Adam Brody for this!

Overall, not a bad episode.  Liked the action, liked the Martha/Donna interaction ("Oh, you're getting married!" "Yeah, to a doctor.  How funny is that?" "He's not skinny like this mug, is he?" "No, he's quite excellent in bed strong."  "You know, I wish you two would start fighting now.").  And Martha was awesome right until she got kidnapped and cloned.  WTF? At least let her be awesome for half the episode! Plus the plot isn't that bad.  I LOL'ed at the part where Donna told Ten she was leaving, and he was being all "OMG DONNA HOW CAN YOU LEAVE ME IT'S TOO SOON I'LL MISS YOUUU *EMOEMOEMO*.....oh wait, you're just popping round for tea?"

".....You're a fucking idiot, you know that, Doctor?"

I will watch it next week, so it's good.

..........

Who the hell am I kidding? It's good....aside from the complete ass-raping RTD did to UNIT.

"I don't like people with guns, they're the bad guys."  WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL?! So they weren't the bad guys whilst you had Tom Baker's magnificently sexy form? They're the bad guys now, when everyone knows aliens exist and they don't want to be INVADED AGAIN like the Sycorax thing? They're the bad guys for having guns?! Man, that's terrible.  Those awful, civilian-bullying, baby beating UNIT bastards.  You'd think they were part of military intelligence the way they acted....OH WAIT HOLD ON NOW. 

I get the need to update them for modern times, but really did you have to lay it on so thick, RTD? UNIT's portrayal in this episode practically screams "We are going to be complete assholes for the rest of the season and thus serve as a vehicle on how 'peaceful' Ten is (BAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHUT I think the Family of Blood and the Racnoss would disagree) and how Torchwood is brilliant in comparison to our idiocy and gung-ho attitude."

I'm 1000% positive that Martha's gonna see UNIT for what it is - completely evil and/or useless and stubborn - and end up joining Capt. Jack's Torchwood come the end of Season 4, just cos Torchwood is SO much better and RTD can't bear for anything to outshine his creations (Rose, anyone?).    And UNIT will get a most ignomius sending off and it'll all be the Doctor's fault but NOT REALLY, like with Harriet Jones which led to THE MASTER but it wasn't his fault AND ON TOP OF THAT HE WANTED TO KEEP HIM ALIVE REGARDLESS OF THE DANGER TO THE WHOLE FREAKING UNIVERSE.

FUCK YOU.  JUST....FUCK YOU RUSSELL T DAVIES.  I HATE YOU.  I HATE YOU. 

*cuddles Old Who episodes where everything was AWESOME*

Listening to DW Confidential now.  They're using "War" for the UNIT section now, and DT is being all "The Doctor's relationship with UNIT has always being ambiguous.  They use guns a lot, he doesn't quite like that."  WTH? I mean yeah, back in the day I know that Three hated working with them as part of his exile and all, but watching Four interact with them you don't get that so-called ambiguity.  He won't stick around on Earth yeah, but once something happens he and UNIT work together and save the world! The Doctor RARELY complained about UNIT's use of violence.  If anything he berated them mainly because they didn't act quick enough, or sometimes fucked up and he had to fix things, but NEVER was it about their use of violence.

Just....GRAH.  Fuck you RTD.  Have I mentioned that yet?

Also if he kills Donna's grandfather I will be a sad panda :(
