fire check." He's so adorable and sweet here. I tend more towards the "Come back home after a few years travelling, and discover that annoying little brat next door actually isn't that annoying or little anymore" analogy. Still, I try not to think of it like that too much. People have engagements longer than that. (Warning: some extremely rough Maths went on here). For him, her waiting 30 years is the equivalent of us waiting about 3. 75 years? He's lived more than 10 times that. Yeah, that's slightly disturbing with what goes on later on, but this is where I take that argument that the Asexualists use, and flip it a bit: Compared to the Doctor, when it comes to lifespan all humans are just children. The Doctor and yound Reinette is the most adorable thing ever - he's so sweet with her. The music is really weird just before we get to the actual fireplace. "It's so realistic!" Mickey, you're a woobie. (Your Jack related conspiracies should start now.) Someone suggested somewhere that perhaps the ship was a Time Agent ship - hence the historical name and decoration, and the ability to do the holes in time. *woe*) The spaceship is cool in a sort of generic spaceship way. There will still be huge amounts of quoting going on, though)ĥ1st Century, 2 and a half galaxies away. (There is so much quotable about this ep, that I will only get the very best bits. You know what? I'll just have a quick scan, in case there's anything dangerous." My first LOL moment of the episode, and we are only two minutes in. Spaceship! (Defintely a getting-away-from-Earth-more Agenda this season) Mickey, hurrah! Rose with hair of WTF! And I think she carries the part off well) Not the best, either, but she isn't as bad as some people would have you believe. (Remark on Myles, seething jealousy aside, she isn't a bad actress. "The only man, save you, I have ever loved." Aww, poor Louis! But Reinette does get an interesting intro, that's for sure. The juxtaposition of France and the space-ship, the wanderer in and out of Reinette's life. I've seen TGITF described as "an adult fairy tale" and "Event Horizon meets Lewis Carroll" and I find both pretty accurate. It's what made me like Tooth and Claw, the sheer style of the direction, and it strikes again here - great direction, gorgeous scenery and visuals, the aforementioned costumes - but in this case, the plot is in on it, too. Though, that might tie in quite a bit with the fact that I adore things with genuine style. So gorgeous outfits always get a good response from me. It was my all time favourite costume, and I had a trail of kids from the beginner's class following me around so they could stroke the dress when ever I sat down. And when we did Swan Lake one year I was one of the princesses, and wore an outfit that would, quite frankly, pretty much fit perfectly in this episode. Note: One side effect of all those years of ballet is a love for really gorgeous outfits. To start with: Dude, how Casanova is that? Twinkly music, grand buildings, pretty pretty buildings, even more gorgeous clothing. On rewatching, I have adjusted my opinion a bit, and would place it equal with SR - main basis for this being, as I said in a comment somewhere, that while it didn't effect me quite so much emotionally (Reunion made me cry, this just made me tear up), it had so much of the glorious style I loved about Tooth and Claw, but with character stuff as well. When I initially commented on this, I said I really liked it, but not quite as much as School Reunion. “And what would that be?” It was his turn to smile at her, with her - “Never run when you’re scared.10:34 pm - “One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.” “Stupid enough to deduce something very fantastic from your little encouraging speech.” She couldn’t help but smile this time. “Just how stupid are you?” Not a few feet from them, the world was ablaze in the devil’s fire. Her eyes rose up to meet his, a small smirk playing on her face. “Those would have been great last words,” he managed. It was difficult to understand how that tiny human could manage such nerve, bravery, in the face of a potentially fatal situation. In that small space, in that small bubble around which the world was burning, waiting for her to step into the fire, he sensed her risen heartbeat, saw the sweat on her forehead, and listened to the words leaving her mouth. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.” He couldn’t help but notice her quivering lips, shaking fingers that rose to his coat’s lapels as she tried to adjust and steady herself. “Courage isn’t just a matter of not being frightened, you know.
