 (First watched 2007-07-06) &nbsp;Wow, this episode never let up. &nbsp;Feeling like 2 episodes in the space of 1.5, and existing as a mostly standalone episode between companions, this felt very movie-like. &nbsp;Mysterious transportations, TARDIS flying down the street, draining the Thames! &nbsp;It kinda bugged me that a few series back the Doctor was agonizing over the decision of committing Dalek genocide, but he didn't seem very concerned about exterminating the Racnoss tonight. &nbsp;Of course, he did... change... between then and now.

 (First watched 2007-07-06) &nbsp;Not a bad introduction for Martha Jones. &nbsp;Good thing she's made out to be a bit less clueless about things; Rose was used as a reintroduction to the series, but it's not needed again just two years later. &nbsp;Those Judoon rhinos looked pretty nice; my expectations were pretty low after the goofy-looking Slitheen. &nbsp;Great use of a bit of audience-unexpected time travel trickery at the beginning/end.

 (First watched 2007-07-20 and -25) &nbsp;I found this episode... unbelievable. &nbsp;In an allegorical sense I can appreciate that the people of the undercity were wasting their life away trying to get from one place to another, but... to have the entire upper city die off and noone notices? &nbsp;That they very quickly get used to taking decades to go from one place to another, when noone is actually reaching above after all? &nbsp;That nobody could figure out a way to open the ceiling? &nbsp;That there were giant devolved crab people living down there, somehow eating enough people to sustain a population even before there was the permanent traffic jam? &nbsp;That people already had the easy technology to create essentially free food and energy, but wanted to take a years-long trip to get a job? &nbsp;That even if the believed rules of traffic worked properly, it would actually be that hard to get a group of three or greater when EVERYONE wanted to get in the fast lane?

 (First watched 2007-07-27) &nbsp;I'm getting tired of the Daleks, frankly. &nbsp;They're a cool enemy, but in that they were supposed to be wiped from time and yet this is the... fourth random run-in the Doctor has had with them in less than three years, it seems a bit much.

+: '''Last of the Time Lords''' ''[[2007]] [[October 5]]''
+(First watched 2007-10-05) &nbsp;Iiiiiii was not expecting to see &quot;One Year Later&quot; on screen. &nbsp;However, I was then immediately prepared for the eventuality of the reset button, though at least the characters that matter most to us retain their experiences.
+Doctor artificially aged in CG... so weird. &nbsp;Who knew that Time Lords grew up to be house elves?
+So The Master didn't regenerate... or at least so The Doctor is lead to believe. &nbsp;Someone certainly was digging through his pyre, which I'm sure is their out for when he eventually returns. &nbsp;Too bad it can't (probably) be the same actor, though; as I said for the previous two episodes I enjoyed his performance.
+So those ball things... were the humans from the end of the universe? &nbsp;So so wrong, Master. &nbsp;But now that things were set back, and they were never released from a rip thingy, is the end of humanity really just to remain in a mechanical limbo state, never to be released?
+So Jack Harkness is also maybe... the Face of Boe? &nbsp;Get out of town. &nbsp;Certainly they didn't make it 100% certain, and considering he's not just a throwaway character they can certainly write him a different fate if they wish, but that's a pretty awesome maybe, and makes some sense with what little we know about the Face.
+So Martha Jones is out... at least for now. &nbsp;I wasn't expecting that, but considering I'd run across information about her being around for a few episodes of [[Torchwood Series 2]], that makes enough sense.
+So... the Titanic, eh? &nbsp;I'm really enjoying this new thing of ending the series on a &quot;What? &nbsp;What? &nbsp;WHAT!?&quot; note.
