Turn Left Reaction (really)

brb_evilI am just about to watch it again with me dad....so we'll see how this turns out and if I can watch it without DYING.
AHH I CRIED AGAIN.
Okay, SO. To start, I fanatically watched ALL of the Sarah Jane Adventures before this because I heard the villain would be one from a spin-off. Not that I recognised. But it did mean that I got very excited when I started watching and saw the DOCTOR and then I went, "Oh...no, wait, this is Doctor Who."
This whole episode was FABULOUS. One of my very favourites ever. because that's what I love abou time travel (well, one thing): the whole butterfly effect thing. One little change....and so on.
Oh lordy, the starting. With the Doctor dying in the Thames. That was commiting suicide, really, as I see it. He'd just lost Rose...how horrific. It hit me a little harder the second time than the first for some reason, but I knew all along he'd be coming back. I also did a flaily, "Saxon!" at the Racnoss web getting shot until I eventually remembered that he wouldn't exist due to the Doctor not travelling there.
ROSE IS STILL INCREDIBLE. She was so...her face when the Doctor was gone...
The HOSPITAL. I saw it go and was flailing and such because I KNEW about Martha being in it but I thought maybe...no. She died protecting Morgenstern. BUT BUT BUT. THEN. SARAH JANE. OH GOD. That was bad enough (and I cried again when I saw her face) but then LUKE. I had to go back to see if I'd heard it properly. And I HAD. And Maria and Clyde... I actually pressed pause, recoiled from the computer, ran to my armchair and rocked back and forth crying and clutching my knees. And then I never stopped CRYING. EVER.
Rose was still so funny and fantastic and I love her. I was worried she'd be all serious but she fights aliens and whatnot like the Doctor taught her, with a grin. When she said the constant flux thing and then admitted that she only said it because the Doctor would have, it made me really happy. Well....through the tears, anyway.
DONNA. I LOVE DONNA. This cannot be said enough. She's always so HER. Arguing and such. And brave. Damn.
When London blew up...whoa.
TORCHWOOD DIED NOOOO. That made me cry MORE.
I loved that Italian guy. He was unfalteringly cheerful and another one of Russell's fantastic one-off characters. I loved him, and then he got Nazi'd.
Donna in the circle of mirrors, terrified by the bug made me cry. Catherine Tate is a brilliant actor and I will punch whoever says otherwise. She was just...wow. Wow. And her reaction to the TARDIS was amazing. Just the mouth open thing. I love her.
Donna back in time but in the wrong place. My mind automatically went, "Run, Donna, Run!" Because it was. And sacrificing herself...terribly moving.
Back in the correct timeline: the Doctor/Donna hug made me smile again. It was touching, as well as his, "No you're not, you're BRILLIANT!" later. I love Ten. Gosh, there's a lot of love going on. I just love all these characters. God. AND I TOTALLY CALLED IT THE VILLAIN WAS THE ONE FROM 'WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SARAH JANE?" I guessed it when I was watching it this afternoon and the thingy (apparently called the Trickster?) said something like, "Imagine the chaos that would be created if the Doctor had never existed: it would spread across the universe." And I pointed at the screen and went, "YES! THAT'S who it's going to be!" And I was right! Hardcore!
When Ten started guessing about Rose...what a fantastic moment. He found out her hair was blonde...and then Bad Wolf. Oh Lordy. I can't wait for next episode. It will be so full of crack. I mean, not only Donna, Rose and Martha are in it, but Jack and Sarah Jane and Ianto and Gwen and LUKE. Leah's right. I hope there's a moment when Sarah tells the Doctor that Luke's her son, if only to see his reaction. I am SO excited. How will I last a week? Oh....yeah...work. I have work on the DAY. Luckily, it ends at 3:30, I suppose.
I don't know HOW I'll watch this again when Series 4 starts in Canada. But I will. Because I love it.
