Like Finding A Cathedral In A Haystack.

- OH MY GOD MICKEY AT THE BEGINNING JUST WATCHING HER LEAVE SO CUTE I LOVE HIM.

- I'd forgotten how gloriously silly Doctor Who was, and I think that this may be the silliest episode of it that I've ever seen! Fantastic! (Did the Tenth Doctor say 'Fantastic' in this episode, or was that just a Ninth Doctor thing? I can't remember whether he said it.)

- Seriously, this episode is utterly ridiculous. Body-switching! Imposter kisses! Disease zombies! OH WHAT FUN. I started watching with some reservations, but as soon as Cassandra took over Rose's body I was totally hooked.

- It's great to see that they're still addressing consequences and making links to previous episodes, even though it's a new series. THUMBS UP.

- ...was anyone else kind of thinking about Cassandra/Rose in the bodyswap scene? Not that I was. *shifty eyes*

- Also, Rose is hot.

- Cassandra-as-Rose trying to use Cockney rhyming slang? Genius. I could not stop laughing.

- CASSANDRA KISSING THE DOCTOR IN ROSE'S BODY.

AHAHAHAHA AWESOME.

THE DOCTOR WHO ONLINE COMMUNITY IS JUST GOING TO CHOKE AND DIE. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.

Also, his '...yep, still got it' reaction cracked me up.

SERIOUSLY. BEST THING EVER. (Hey, thegreatesthits, we were right!)

- "There is no higher power. It stops with me." Er, Doctor, might want to watch that ego there. Pride comes before a fall and all that, y'know.

- "These people are dying, and Rose would care." Loved that.

- The disease zombies are actually pretty damn creepy. Eergh.

- I love Cassandra in the Doctor's body. I love her a stupid, insane amount. 'I'm a man! I'm foxy! Oooh, you've been looking. You like it. OUT OF MY WAY BLONDIE. ...ACK WHAT WOULD THE DOCTOR DO NOW?'

- SPREADING THE CURE AHAHAHA

BWAHAHAHA SHEER GENIUS. Spreading the cure! Spreading the cure! I can't get over that. If the cure can be caught more easily than the disease, I'm amazed that any diseases exist at all on New Earth.

- You know, the Face of Boe is actually kind of hot.

...I did not just think that.

- You know, Cassandra in Chip's body is actually kind of hot.

- ...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

- I still miss Captain Jack, in case there's any doubt. And I'm starting to warm to the Tenth Doctor, although I still love Nine. It's nice that we've had an episode in which it's actually possible to forn an opinion of him - an episode in which he isn't, y'know, insane or unconscious. The Ninth Doctor still does intense-and-scary better, but the Tenth is lots of running-around-sliding-down-lift-shafts-spreading-the-cure-seriously-what fun!

- In conclusion: forty-five minutes of glorious silliness. I was worried that Doctor Who would have lost its appeal for me. I was a fool. Seriously, eeeee! NEXT EPISODE PLEASE.

I loved Cassandra's teasing of Rose. :D "You like it!"

It's all good and glorious and LOVELY.

Although I'm still wondering as to why Cassandra suddenly changed her mind. In Rose's body it was all 'OH NO I don't want to diiie' and in Chip it was all 'Okay, I'll die.' Where did that come from!?

CASSANDRA/ROSE MUST BEEEEEE. Seriously. So much femmeslash there. The way she lovingly ran her hands over Rose's curves. It was adorable! I wanted them to ditch the Doctor, get Cassandra another body and run off in happy sapphic bliss forever. SO. MUCH. CHEMISTRY.

I WANT MORE CASSANDRA!ROSE! Hot! Evil, yes, but you know!

It was all so silly, wasn't it?

Ahaahahha, oh man. Imagine if Jack had been there and not!Rose had lunged at him. He would've been like '....yeaaahhhh, why not?!'

God I love this show!

David Tennant had SO MUCH FUN playing Cassandra. I mean, really. You could tell he loved it. XD He was awesome. Plus when Cassandra-as-Rose kissed him, OH GODS HIS EXPRESSION. WIN. And you can tell SHE had fun with that. XD

The whole thing was win. I miss Ninth Doctor, too, but David Tennant is his own brand of awesome... and he's seriously good looking, which doesn't hurt any, either. <3 Nine and Ten are both fantastic in different ways, which is PERFECT, because if David Tennant had tried to BE Nine it would have been awful. I was upset at first with the idea that even the personality changes a little with the body (his quirks and all that), but now I think it's for the better.

BUT I WANT JACK BACK. How could they not even MENTION him, damnit?!

Oh I loved it, it was brilliant! I had kind of forgotten that there'd already been an episode with David Tennant in it because he was unconscious for pretty much all of it. The cat-nun people were awesome, even though they turned out evil.

You know, Cassandra in Chip's body is actually kind of hot.

Pains me to admit it, but I kind of know where you're coming from there... Eep.

Tragically I go back to uni tomorrow where there is one telly between five hundred of us, and it's normally on sky sports, so my dad's going to tape every episode and I can have a marathon when I get back.
