Today's Giggle.

Courtesy of ihasatardis (THE home of Doctor Who cat macros) comes "Motivational" Posters. The first one cracked me up. As did the two about The Master.

I'm still noodling over my reactions to Human Nature/Family of Blood, which are proving hard to articulate beyond "Yay! Liked it!" but there's a lot roiling in my head. Sooner or later, something coherent should fall out of my skull. I hope.

In the meantime, I agree with moviegrrl. It's all about faith and sacrifice, this season.

And people saying "no" to the Doctor. Even Martha, who said "yes" is calling him on some of his emo nonsense.

No kidding!

Although I *did* feel sorry for him (well, John Smith, really) during all that emo at the end of Family of Blood.

oh yes. he was being offered everything nine said he envied about normal lives in father's day... 3am, streetcorner, sharing a cab stuff.

No no, these ones just about had me peeing my pants! Thank you for letting me know about that comm. Now I have a new place to giggle :-)

Oh yes! "Totally manly, and not at all camp." just about stitched me up...

Oh, yes, the Roberts macro. ROFLs with extra butter and a tall glass of LMAOnade.

(I'm slipping - I haven't posted a link to those in mastersgarden yet....)

You were of course the one who mentioned faith first, but that seemed to me very key again in the last two episodes. Not just the faith that Martha has in the the Doctor, but also faith in fighting for King and Country.
I like the idea that while season 27 was all about Bad Wolf references, 28 was all Torchwood-y, this season deals in something a lot less obvious and a lot more interesting.
Oh! Not just sacrifice but redemption! Novice Hame in Gridlock, McDonnell in 42 (not just sacrifice but atoning for her sin). Again I'm sure that there's more but my brain is fuzzy and I don't have time to read recaps right now. I'm guessing though that the appearance of Harkness is also going to tie into this in a major way.
