ginger beer does not seem to have much of a shelf life

Re: The Unicorn and the Wasp...

According to redscarlach, this is the first episode they filmed with Catherine Tate, and it really shows - not just the snappy dialogue typical to Doctor Who, but a lot of good physical comedy. I quite liked it, really, and LOL'd at the ginger beer comment.

I did have one bone of contention, though: the death of Roger, which struck me as... well, pointless. What further irks is that it probably wouldn't have been written into the script except for his "constitutionals" with the footman.

For that matter, does anyone remember any gay couple in the Whoverse - nay, any dramashow - that aren't main characters, and still manage to survive past the credits?

Yeah, although it's kind of a harsh thing to say to someone who's been looking for him for well over a century. "I say you don't want me even though you've been searching for me for ages; you can only really be happy with yourself." True or not... ouch!

Oh, well, Ten's a bastard. That's just... inherent to his character, ride alongside the snark.

...I feel pretty bad for Jack, with his relationship with the Doc. He's caught up in the classic Stockholm-Companion Syndrome; I mean, it's a pretty bad relationship they have going there, mostly for Jack - but he can't seem to kick it. Which makes me wonder if we're going to see him again this season. Despite his Big Goodbye at the end of last, I rather think we will.

Ten is a bastard, no question!

Stockholm-Companion syndrome is right; I feel bad for Jack, too.

What with the rumors of a big Companion reunion that were going around at the beginning of the season, I wouldn't bet against it.

...And yet, those rumors don't seem to be playing out. As much as I want to whap Ten over the head with a Whack-A-Mole mallet, I want his love-struck minions (and Donna) back!

Sadface! But Rose will be back for sure.

I laughed when I saw "love-struck minions." Oh, too true. I enjoy the image of Whack-A-Mole with Ten. Like a gopher in a video game!

Oh, Rose. I liked her enough, but what I'm really holding out for is the Jack-Donna interaction.

In his case it'd be more of a Whack-A-Weasel, though.

I would love Donna and Jack interaction, too!

And ha, yes.
