retro_eidasSo that's what would happen if Jerry Bruckheimer became one of Doctor Who's producers? Lots of screaming. Lots of running about. More Doctor torture. Lots of sweating. Did I mention the sweating (according to the Confidential, that was baby oil... kinky)?
PERIL!
Although, sadly, there's never a lot I can ever manage to say after watching Jerry Bruckheimer movies. They're very loud and boisterous popcorn affairs that don't require much discussion afterwards. There was much prerequisite heart-pumping peril, hot chick running around (Martha Martha Martha... oh you make me question my heterosexuality), hot hero (errr, not)saving the day apart from his damsel-in-distress (at that minute anyway), some glorious self-sacrifice and even the gratuitous make-out scene (I'd have made out with Riley too, even if he looked a bit like Jason Statham / Elliot Yamin's lovechild which is my sick mind ruining. things. for. me.). Which is good, as you can not use one's brain every once in awhile. I'm sure there's something there if I did put my mind to it. Like with the Eliot obsession last weekthis season? and the fire/burning theme in several eps, I was reminded of Eliot's mention of Buddha in "The Waste Land" and the Buddhist connotation of burning. "Burning" = (the temptation of) earthly desires. "Burn with me, Martha." Ahem No, innuendo at all or anything.
"Burn with shag me, Martha"
However, it was actually Martha - not our token hot (literally and aesthetically) hero - who saved the day. Martha as The Doctor. I also had much love for her managing to keep it together despite the Doctor's heartbreaking screams of agony. That she just didn't start crying and falling apart, but kept it together to do what had to be done. It was certainly effecting her, but she didn't let it break her. Also and this is kind of gratuitous (Heh! What wasn't in this ep?! But that's OK!), I also really enjoyed that billowing of Martha's "NOW!" at Riley and Other Guy demanding they expel the remaining fuel/sun particles. Quite... godly she was there.
Eight times Martha Jones was the win.
I'd worship at the Church of St. Martha too, Riley. For she is a goddess made of an ambrosia consisting of win and awesome and even the Doctor wants to "burn with" her. Not to mention, Riley, Martha Companion #30161501... and he's a hot tamale! You go Doctor Jones!
"I'm not going to lose her."
Staring down a sun for her.
We have the angry Sun (nicking ideas from Solaris) in this ep... but it's the Moon highlighted in "Smith & Jones"? Heh. I'm sure there's something there but... I just rewatched that bit with the Doctor in the orange space suit (damn, he can work orange like nobody's business) and I've lost my train of thought.
ANYWAY! There certainly was a lot of Not Shipping in this episode, was there not?
It's hugpr0n! What is there to say?
Keys to the castle. Officially shacked-up.
The hugpr0n which was quite awesome (and it was Thank God You're/I'm Alive hugpr0n which is always excellent to have, no matter who's doing it... it just happens to be the two with the crazy Not Sexual Chemistry in this case). How she refuses to leave him and he practically has to force her to go. She alsogets to shack-up gets a TARDIS key and it was lovely. She looked at the key with such reverence. Like the Doctor was about to pour heavenly aether in her hands. Like he was handing her over charge of the Holy Grail... or something. Frequent flyer privileges! Now only if they'd join the (Million) Mile High club! (oh the pr0ny giggles of freeze frame!) Damn you Rusty, damn you for making me Not Canon Ship them.
So Mrs. Jones is playing informant to Saxon's Men In Black? You can't really blame the woman, especially after that first phone call.
Oh Lord, she knows not what she does. Srsly.
::woman screams bloody murder in the background::
Mum: WTF?!
Martha: Nothing!! It was NOTHING I SAY!!! NOW WHO THE FUCK HAD MORE NUMBER ONES ELVIS OR THE BEATLES ANSWERMEDAMNYOU!!!!
That just isn't a little bit mad... it's a whole frakking mess of mad. Not to mention Lazaruzilla last week which, you know, I can't imagine mum is all that accustomed to seeing outside of, well, Jerry Bruckheimer popcorn affairs. Top that off with seemingly put together gov't type edjumacating her on the (disastrous, dangerous, mad) life of the Doctor? Well... I suppose if I was Mrs. Jones I'd have called the Feebies too. The Feebies who were clearly evil, but with your daughter going mad, it's understandable the Clearly Evilness escaping her.
*snorts* I guess I can ramble on about Jerry Bruckheimer more than I thought! ;P
**Editing because I can't believe of all the talkiness I've done of this ep, I haven't mentioned Douglas Adams once. *facepalms* Although not that the ep was very Douglas Adams (more, erm, Jack Bauer in Space), but I would think "The answer is... 42" applies somehow. If anything that whole general What It Means To Be Human (or Making Life Not Inconsequential. Not be Prufrock / Rage rage against the dying of the light, in other words) thing this season.
