So I finally watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special...



(the Doctor opens the watch)
intrikate88: if there's a watch there’s a DAMN GOOD FUCKING REASON DID WE NOT LEARN THIS
intrikate88: ...or not
andi_horton: hahaha
andi_horton: anticlimactic what?

(as the other-Doctor is breaking down and blubbering)
intrikate88: oh god, i can't stand an even less functional doctor
andi_horton: well, who knows, maybe he's not even real. maybe it's all a bad doctor-dream
intrikate88: it would fit his psyche
andi_horton: maybe our doctor will awaken in bed in the middle of a cliffhanger taking us to the next adventure
intrikate88: a pirate adventure
andi_horton: ooh yes please

(just before/during/after Ten explains Lake’s fugue state)

intrikate88: i could do with a little more steampunk gear
andi_horton: well it's victorian times and there are cybermen, i am sure you will not be disappointed
andi_horton: i mean it can't be high tech right? that would just look wrong, so let's have VICTORIAN high tech
intrikate88: yes, true
andi_horton: or at least that's my ideal, i will be very cross if they have shiny chrome and blinking lights
intrikate88: me too


intrikate88: mister not-doctor i am not astounded at your resolve (as he is whimpering in a corner)
andi_horton: Jackson Lake, ND


(the children in the steam engine room)
andi_horton: there you are! steam and stuff
intrikate88: it… looks more like the pirate ship scenario
andi_horton: well
intrikate88: i know, i'm picky
(they see the Dalek-who-knows-what-it-is Device)
intrikate88: haha i was wondering why it looked like a dalek
intrikate88: um, looks like a dalek, blow that shit UP
andi_horton: haha yes
(children flee the wide shot of the engine room, replete with four stories of large revolving gears)
andi_horton: aww. take 'em all up in the tardis!
andi_horton: happy?
intrikate88: i...
intrikate88: haha i love the diagram and ticking clock

(Jackson Lake remembers his son)
andi_horton: oh he DID have a whole family
andi_horton: his son looks ... charmingly androgynous
intrikate88: other men have similar problems remembering they have progeny, it's not unusual sir

(THE CYBER-KING ARISTETH FROM THE THAMES LIKE A GREAT ARISING LEVIATHAN THING)
intrikate88: HAAAAAAAAAAAa
intrikate88: I LOVE IT
intrikate88: I LOVE GIANT STEAMPUNK MONSTERS STANDING UP OUT OF THE THAMES
intrikate88: aw, shit, don't you get you destroy history with every step?
intrikate88: lady, there just went leicester square
intrikate88: you almost hit st. pauls. st. pauls, ma'am.
(Whathisface will hold the balloon for five pounds)
intrikate88: doctor, where are you going to GET five pounds? VICTORIAN LONDON DOES NOT HAVE ATMS.
andi_horton: very starry-eyed child, our fred
intrikate88: where is all that complex machinery going to go if you shoot it down, doctor?
intrikate88: thank you, rosita. you are a clear-thinking young lady.
andi_horton: that's a rifle that shoots blue wibbly things
intrikate88: spiffy!
(re: the applause for the Doctor)
intrikate88: and mister wossname is going to become a preacher next
andi_horton: aww he's like " . . . whome?!"
intrikate88: surprised he didn't look behind him
andi_horton: frederick might grow up with a healthy respect for women, thanks to rosita
intrikate88: he just might
(when Jackson is getting a migraine from the TARDIS’s insides)
andi_horton: oh, take fred and rosita!
intrikate88: they would love to see it!
andi_horton: i always said he needed to travel with a child
intrikate88: i've said it, but in a giggly and only somewhat malicious way
(“They…. well, they broke my heart.”)
intrikate88: good thing you've got a spare!
intrikate88: go for it doctor, you can stand a good meal in a pub
intrikate88: at least a jacketed potato and a pint
(credits)
intrikate88: Planet of the Dead doesn't sound anything like ominous at all
andi_horton: no, no
