The Flying Monk Brigade.
- THE OPENING.
SILLIEST. THING. EVER.
I LAUGHED UNTIL I COULD NOT BREATHE WHEN THE MONKS LEAPT INTO THE AIR IN SLOW MOTION.
Camera Crew: WE ARE CLEARLY ON DRUGS
Monks: LOOK WE ARE FLYING
Not Monks: OH NO FLYING MONKS
Riona: BWAHAHAHAHAHA I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING ARGH
Seriously, whenever they were trying to be serious and dramatic, I was laughing like a lunatic.
- Rose trying to sound Scottish! Hee! "No, really, don't do that."
- "Am I being rude again?" I LOVED THAT AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.
- I am oddly pleased with the fact that Queen Victoria was able to defend herself. MONARCHS WITH GUNS AWESOME.
- That was one sexy werewolf, huh? I think that every episode I'm going to find something Extremely Strange And Wrong to be attracted to.
- MAGICAL VANISHING ACCENT HOORAY.
- The Doctor licking the door! For reasons of which I am not quite sure and that are probably slightly alarming, I thought that was fantastic.
- Also, at first I wrote 'Ten' there instead of 'the Doctor'. I seem to have got into the habit of thinking of the Ninth Doctor as 'the Doctor' and the Tenth Doctor as 'Ten'. It's very difficult for me to remember that they're the same character, which is unfortunate. I like Ten, but he doesn't really feel like the Doctor to me.
- The Royal Family are werewolves! I love the way Doctor Who makes everything ridiculous.
- Torchwood was created to oppose the Doctor! I find that indescribably awesome for reasons unknown. Ooh, will there be a hugely angsty reunion with Jack and it'll be all tense and awkward and brilliant?
- Not one of the better episodes, I think - not really as much fun as usual, and a bit over-the-top when it was trying to be dramatic - but I still enjoyed it, and it still had plenty of the ridiculousness and manic running around that Doctor Who does so well.
EDIT: Oh, and regarding the eventual defeat of the werewolf: what was that?
Doctor: OBVIOUSLY WE USE THIS TELESCOPE AND THIS DIAMOND TO IMPALE THE WOLF WITH MOONLIGHT.
Wolf: OH NO MOONLIGHT OBVIOUSLY I MUST NOW DISSOLVE.
Doctor: OH I AM BRILLIANT.
EDIT THE SECOND: ALSO ALSO ALSO DOCTOR/WEREWOLF OTP.

You just know RTD has been reading our fic.
This episode was a bit ooh-er for me. I enjoyed it very much and all, but yeah. Nine. Want Nine. I think it might be that Ten just isn't OLD enough to be Doctor-ish enough, you know? Plus, the ending what the hell? "Oh my, the DIAMOND. It all makes sense! You have a diamond that'll magically kill the werewolf because it contains lots of the liquid chemical badusplotusdeviceus! Now, Rose, help me reverse the polarity of the neutron flow and we will have a perfect deus ex machina", etc etc.
Also, yes. It was a bit ridiculous in the not-so-good kind of a way. Aka, absolutely bizarre opening sequence which I was just waiting to be revealed as some random joke/gag type thing and then it NEVER HAPPENED. Doctor Who directors, please note - you are not the Wachowski brothers.
Very funny though, and lots of cuteness, I thought. Queen Victoria was ace! Oh, and could Rose have touched that kitchen maid girl any more? Nnngh.
Sorry. That was a bit of a ramble, wasn't it?
