Doctor Who
Masterpiece:
Well, the more episodes I watch the more I realize I really enjoy this season so far.

I gotta say, though my favorite is Eccleston, my first doctor, Tennant knocked it out of the park. I have my issues with his run, too, I'm critical of all Doctors but my first, but he did an amazing job.
Masterpiece:
Every time Tennant says "what?!" is a good time, although I can't get over the whole "let's drown the episode in incidental music" approach the BBC had back then. I really really love the DoctorDonna season. In terms of production quality, writing and special effects, the series did a huge jump forward that year (and I wasn't that fond of Martha Jones).

You share my opinion in these matters. Donna was amazing, potentially better than Rose season 2, though Rose's out would be near-impossible to match for sheer level of emotion.
Martha herself, not so terrible. The way they played her character, underutilizing her skills and over-emphasizing her crush on the Doctor... yeah, that's where the problems entered. What she did when the Doctor was gone, if she'd been that character throughout the season, fuck yes, amazing, but they didn't do that, now did they? I was fine with Martha, let down by the writers' choices in using her.

i want to say how much i loved the resolution of the last story.
(click to show/hide)the idea that the boxes don't actually do anything initially struck me as silly and predictable, but then i thought about it and it's really quite brilliant.
they're not there to end the truce, they're bait for anybody who would want to, just to get them into the room so he can talk them down.
and then the revelation that he's already had to go through this whole thing fifteen times already? absolutely perfect, because yeah, there are no permanent solutions to these things. there's always gonna be someone looking to stir up some shit.
and then on top of it all you've got capaldi's epic "Yeah, and then happens?" take down of short-sighted revolutionaries.
it's one of my favorite scenes ever from the show.
