...Actually, I couldn't stop laughing. I'm pretty sure I was laughing at some of the sheer BAD of some of it (like when Madame de Pompadour kissed the Doctor? FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR LAUGHING, DAMNIT), but still.
Ditto about Jack. :(
You know, it's kind of interesting that there was a huge suspenseful tragic love story on Madame de Pompadour's side, lasting for most of her life, but from the Doctor's point of view he knew her for less than a day. I found his confusion/nonchalance and her obsession with him HIGHLY amusing. I think I'm probably a bad person for this.
Mickey was LOVE.
And I must say, Rose wins the prize for best-delivered line this ep. The way she said it was just perfect. Rose: *rolls eyes* Oh, you're NOT keeping the horse! Doctor: I let you keep Mickey! Me: *dead from laughter*
I loved the horse. It was absolute win. Plus when the Doctor was like "We don't have a truck!" I instantly responded with, "But you have a horse! =D"
In the Doctor's defence, he tends to be very idealistic in that he will do whatever it takes to put things to rights, as they should be, particularly if he feels history is at stake here. I get the impression that he gets very caught up in whatever he's doing and doesn't think about the consequences, particularly consequences to himself - and as Rose and Mickey were an extension of consequences to himself, not consequences to the event that needed fixing, he might not even have realized that he was going to be stranding them. ...Other than that, I do agree with you. ^^;
So really, when it was revealed that he was stuck, I was more, "Well, you're just a great big idiot, aren't you?" than "The Doctor wouldn't do that!" I DID expect him to then go, "OH SHIT, ROSE! (and Mickey! yeah not really)" and smack his forehead, and I was annoyed when that didn't happen.
