Less of a review, more of a mad expulsion of WORDS. Oh, and SPOILERS. LOTS OF THEM.
AJSHDGJHSKJH;;; DOCTOR WHO OH MY GOD.
That was absolutely terrifying, and claustrophobic, and weird, and OH DEAR LORD THERE WAS ROSE ON THE SCREEN AGAIN.
ROSETYLERMARTHAJONESDONNANOBLETARDIS.
Oh, sweet Lord. I haven't checked any reactions yet (as I've only just watched it), but if anyone complains (as I'm sure they will), about the lack of action, or coherent threat, then I won't care; that was superb. Showing the ugly side of human nature, and just by using something like repetition, it becomes twenty times as chilling.
And Jesus Christ the Doctor, when he was repeating; painful, tears in his eyes, unmoving. Christ, Tennant, you magnificent bastard. When the Doctor warned Donna "Don't." at the very end, I got chills down to my toes.
*shudder*
And Lesley Sharp! Oh, I can see why Russell likes her so much. She was magnificent all the way through.
Dear Lord, that episode gave me an almost visceral reaction; I was on the edge all the time and gasped at everything; when Rose appeared, when she began to speak at the same time, when she overtook him, and....ohhh.
So, all in all, brilliant and wonderful. I loved it. I'm still jittery; that was terrifying.
Oh yes, and...
FUCKING HELL, THAT TRAILER. OH DEAR LORD. THE DOCTOR'S DEAD? ROSE? HERE ALREADY? SOMETHING ON THE BACK? UNIT MEN? SHE'S GONNA DIE?
What the hell is going on? And, more importantly, how the hell are we meant to wait until next week?!
*flails around like a mad thing*
Right, right. Okay. Possibly coherent, intelligent-sounding review coming later. For now I'm going to flail in my corner about that episode, the trailer, and all that's still to come OH MY GOD YAY.
Three quick trailer-points:
- When the hand came out of the stretcher, for one insane moment, I thought it was Ianto. A thought which makes no sense, but evidently I've been enticed by the suits.
- Speaking of Ianto, I was shamelessly looking out for him; I still have no idea if that rumour that Gwen and Ianto appear is true or not, so I'm scanning everything like the Welsh-totty-obsessed thing that I am.
- Donna was wearing a long, grey coat at some point in that trailer, with the sleeves too long for her arms. Jack's coat? Possibly?
Right.
*attempts to calm down*
*fails*
Eeeeeeeeee!

I managed to stay non-spoilery (not sure I could do it as I was so excited but I think not getting to the computer till today helped!) but agreed - this was magnificent in its manipulation of the audience for very simple but terrifying scares. Shudder.
