The Time Of Angels

Ok I saw it? And I liked it! Mostly. Bits of geek rage here and there but I liked it! And I can't be bothered writing up a review because.... I'm lazy. So here instead is my enormous and boring chatlog of watching along. Very little pieces here and there are cut for relevance and it's very spelling fail and grammar fail and interest fail but eh. Oh, and yes. It did in fact take me two hours to watch it, because I kept pausing whenever I got scared. I'M A WUSS OK SHUSH.




20:03 alexwearspants ok so I just watched the first five mins of time of angels? and in a totally nonspoilery way I just want to say 1)who does that guy think he is, james bond? 2) amy is still awesome, so is eleven (mostly) and 3) those shoes. Do. Things. *gulps*
20:04 vhatesmibbit mm those /shoes/
20:04 alexwearspants oh and I seem to like it when River Song is pawning people who aren't the Doctor? which is interesting.......
20:04 alexwearspants mmmm /yes/ GOD /yes/
20:04 vhatesmibbit River Song, I still love her
20:04 alexwearspants ah, never loved her. Am liking her so far when she's not being River Song at the Doctor.
20:05 alexwearspants Her presumptiousness is cute and awesome, except with him
20:05 alexwearspants eh *shrugs*
20:05 yodacrook yes actually, when she was all like "extreme pownage on your ass james bond" I thought she was badass
20:05 alexwearspants I'mma go watch more, anyone wanna come with me?
20:05 alexwearspants yeah yoda that was fucking awesome
20:05 yodacrook but when she is with the Doctor she annoys me
20:05 vhatesmibbit I love her attitude to the Doctor
20:05 alexwearspants in that bit I /got/ River - and I think it's because there was a clear history there and she was rocking it hardcore and oldschool
20:05 vhatesmibbit personally
20:06 alexwearspants but with the doctor - she /acts/ like there's this history there but for him there's not?
20:06 alexwearspants I really really hate it
20:06 alexwearspants ANYWAY
20:06 vhatesmibbit ah, well
20:06 alexwearspants goes silent so as not to upset the v
20:06 vhatesmibbit afee ti disafee and so on
20:06 vhatesmibbit *to
20:06 yodacrook also, this is not a spoiler or anything, but I'm pretty sure she killed someone and went to prison or something
20:06 alexwearspants huh
20:07 alexwearspants oookkaaayy?
20:07 vhatesmibbit well, yeah
20:07 alexwearspants well I'mma watch more - unless you chikadees wanna come along I see you later - in like half an hour
20:07 alexwearspants runs away to avoid spoilers
20:07 vhatesmibbit she was definitely in prison
20:07 vhatesmibbit I just don't know why
20:08 yodacrook my theory is that she killed her husband
20:08 vhatesmibbit ...I'll wait and see why
20:08 alexwearspants AUGH MY EYES
20:08 alexwearspants *weeps*
20:08 alexwearspants also also I JUST CAME BACK FOR A SECOND
20:08 alexwearspants to say that the new theme is really growing on me
20:08 alexwearspants like I'm liking it a lot now
20:09 vhatesmibbit agrees
20:09 yodacrook I just don't like the very beginning of it
20:09 yodacrook it's like "No, no , this is wroooong"
20:09 alexwearspants and they're using it well - having him shoot off in the TARDIS and then showing it going through lightening andshit is goooood
20:09 alexwearspants hmmm fair enough? i wasn't huge on it before but I like it a lot now
20:09 alexwearspants anyway off I trot!
20:09 vhatesmibbit pats your arse as you trot along
20:10 --- alexwearspants is away (being terrified of angels and hoping river gets more awesome)
20:14 alexwearspants OK I'M SORRY RIVER SONG BUT WE CAN NEVER BE FRIENDS NOW
20:14 --- alexwearspants is back
20:14 vhatesmibbit ...
20:14 alexwearspants GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY TARDIS, SHE'S /SUPPOSED/ TO MAKE THAT NOISE
20:14 vhatesmibbit AHAHAH
20:14 alexwearspants is very /VERY/ displeased
20:14 vhatesmibbit SHE WILL ALWAYS MAKE THAT NOISE WHEN THE DOCTOR STEERS HER
20:16 yodacrook so
20:16 yodacrook River song, you bitch?
20:16 alexwearspants ahaha somewhat
20:16 alexwearspants i really need to go see the rest of the ep but
20:17 alexwearspants so far I feel like I'm back with fucking RTD
20:17 alexwearspants loving it and hating it at the same time
20:17 alexwearspants I think the dynamic is great - and a VERY large part of that is amy - and I love that the doctor's so dead set against it
20:17 vhatesmibbit I always love Who, I can't help it
20:17 vhatesmibbit is young and naive
20:17 alexwearspants but why does he have to destroy classic things? like the /noise/? WHY THE NOISE?
20:18 alexwearspants WHAT THE FUCK DID THE NOISE EVER DO TO YOU MOFFAT???
20:18 vhatesmibbit the noise'll come back
20:18 vhatesmibbit I should imagine
20:18 yodacrook yes
20:18 vhatesmibbit don't get your knickers in a twist until you get to the scary bits
20:18 alexwearspants I *refuse* to go back and watch ten different doctors and believe that they're fucking 'left the breaks on'
20:18 alexwearspants *sighs*
20:18 alexwearspants anway
20:18 alexwearspants *anyway
20:18 alexwearspants I HAS RANTED SO GOOD TIMES
20:19 alexwearspants and his showing up for Amy at the times he did
20:19 alexwearspants was in no way accidental
20:19 alexwearspants oh a sentence got missed out?
20:19 alexwearspants huh I started that by saying this shows that eleven /can/ pilot the TARDIS precisily
20:20 alexwearspants ANYWAY I GO WATCH MORE NOW
20:20 vhatesmibbit is trying not to titter at this all
20:22 vhatesmibbit enraged geekery can be such a turn-on
20:23 alexwearspants ..................
20:23 alexwearspants *dying of shame*
20:23 alexwearspants also eleven? can be sexyintense
20:24 vhatesmibbit mm-hm
20:25 vhatesmibbit can't even begin to convey the way she's smiling at alexwearspant's behaviour the way Ainley would if he saw the Doctor being adorably badass
20:27 alexwearspants oh /god/
20:27 alexwearspants hides face in hands
20:28 alexwearspants also *waves hands in a suitably distracting way so as to disguise deep blush* eleven's chin? I have a love affair with it. I truly do. Also amy. Amy is wonderful.
20:28 vhatesmibbit very true
20:28 vhatesmibbit both of them...
20:29 yodacrook Am I the only one who thinks Amy acts like a little sister?
20:30 alexwearspants a bit yes
20:31 alexwearspants I like that though *is hiding from the episode because she's pretty sure the angel's about to go all GRAR at the cctv*
20:31 vhatesmibbit I think she acts like a teenaged girl who's only recently met her uncle who's only a couple of years older than her and she doesn't want to argue because he's awesome and they've just met, but he can get on her nerves
20:31 vhatesmibbit ...is what I think Amy is like sometimes
20:31 vhatesmibbit in a fun way
20:31 alexwearspants mmmm that to
20:31 alexwearspants anything but a lover or a crushing girl really
20:31 alexwearspants she's a lot like jo
20:31 alexwearspants I tend to put Jo in the sister category, though I know I'm the only one in all of fandom
20:32 alexwearspants god guys do I have the strength of will to go watch the ep again? the angels are SCARY y'all
20:33 alexwearspants AHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T DO IT
20:33 alexwearspants maybe if I turn the sound off..
20:34 alexwearspants *sighs* you lot are useless
20:34 yodacrook pats alex's head
20:34 alexwearspants awww
20:34 alexwearspants yoda I'M SCARED
20:34 alexwearspants MOFFAT IS SCARY
20:35 alexwearspants AHHHHH IT'S HAPPENINGGGGG
20:35 vhatesmibbit was changing her bedsheets and singing Psycho Killer under her breath
20:35 vhatesmibbit PLAY AWAY
20:36 alexwearspants .......... idon'twantto
20:36 vhatesmibbit you must
20:36 yodacrook hugs alex while reading newspaper

20:36 alexwearspants nuzzles yoda and stares at v with wide eyes
20:36 alexwearspants promise?
20:36 vhatesmibbit promises
20:37 yodacrook (we're never going to watch a horror movie together is that what you are all saying :|)
20:37 alexwearspants takes a deep breath
20:37 alexwearspants o-ok
20:37 alexwearspants and no yoda
20:37 alexwearspants never
20:37 vhatesmibbit wants to give alexwearspants an infinte amount of hugs
20:38 alexwearspants would very much like them and is seriously inching through this bit one. second. at a time.
20:38 vhatesmibbit is finding this far too sweet
20:46 alexwearspants why am I such a /wuss/?
20:46 vhatesmibbit it's alright
20:46 vhatesmibbit we all have different tolerance for scary things
20:46 vhatesmibbit I was rather scared
20:46 vhatesmibbit ...wait until you see the next time trailer
20:47 alexwearspants .......

Topic set by yodacrook on Sun Apr 25 2010 21:03:40 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time)
21:03 alexwearspants ahahaha
21:03 alexwearspants you and your topics
21:04 alexwearspants and ok that eyes thing is a bit of a con
21:04 alexwearspants how come we never had that come up before?
21:04 alexwearspants laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
21:06 alexwearspants ok, amy is awesome 'hug amy' was awesome
21:06 alexwearspants this is a very different style of story, which is awesome
21:06 alexwearspants the eye thing is still lame
21:08 alexwearspants oh /that's/ what you meant by she was in prison
21:08 alexwearspants humn
21:09 alexwearspants he is attracted to wrongdoers isn't he?
21:09 yodacrook yup
21:10 alexwearspants oh /amy/
21:10 alexwearspants look, it's your first case of being a proper idiot! isn't that nice for you!
21:11 alexwearspants still thinks this eye thing is lame - BECOMING THE ENEMY has never really done it for me
21:13 alexwearspants ok /amy/ and river I like
21:14 alexwearspants amy and river have awesome banter and 'you're so his wife' makes me lol
21:14 alexwearspants the doctor and river? still annoys the fuck out of me
21:15 alexwearspants but I'm glad amy's meeting her before she can develop a crush on him, or even get like donna was. /amy/ being amused by this helps, to a small extent, /me/ be amused by this and I have no doubt that moffat knows and counted on that.
21:17 alexwearspants although it kind of annoys me a bit, now, that he sets them up to admire each other so, to /tell/ us, the audience, how awesome each other is, instead of /show/ us. don't try to dictate my character loves to me, moffat,
21:18 alexwearspants (but amy /is/ awesome and has shown this, so I'm still pretty ok with her. I'm even ok with her doing the 'doesn't tell the doctor something crucial THAT REALLY OBVIOUSLY SHOULD BE SHARED' thing because.... that's what companions /do/)
21:18 alexwearspants oh and look! time for some random dudes to die. YAAAAY!.
21:19 yodacrook angelo, christian, we loved you
21:20 alexwearspants heeee they had names? that you /remembered/?? I couldn't remember their names! (they haven't died yet but I
21:20 alexwearspants am assuming.....)
21:21 yodacrook I have a good memory
21:21 alexwearspants clearly *is impressed*
21:21 alexwearspants GOD HOW CAN THERE STILL BE 25 MINUTES TO GO???
21:22 alexwearspants oh wait fifteen I can't add shush
21:22 alexwearspants still too many
21:23 yodacrook aw
21:23 yodacrook by the way I'm going to eat
21:23 alexwearspants oh and he looked away /silly/ boy (although seriously 'who's there?' CLICHED and also WHO DO YOU THINK!?!?)
21:23 alexwearspants awwww yoda *hugs*
21:23 alexwearspants that's unawesome for me
21:23 alexwearspants but I hope you enjoy your food
21:24 alexwearspants oh and christian's dead
21:26 alexwearspants Ok I don't really remember much from Blink except that Sally was awesome and the angels were terrifying? but .... how did Christian speak from beyond the grave again? eh.
21:28 alexwearspants awah I don't /want/ Bob to die. good old Sacred Bob.
21:31 alexwearspants ......... if the species has two head then why do all the statues only have one? and I thought angels didn't kill, just sent you back in time? or something? humn. *should go wiki*
21:34 alexwearspants OH ALL THE STATUES ARE ANGELS THAT'S JUST FUCKING WONDERFUL. *sense of fear: firmly re-established*
21:36 alexwearspants AUGH ELEVEN DON'T DO IT FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME I KIND OF HATE YOU A BIT *is terrified of the scene where he turns it back on and ALL THE STATUES ARE ALL AROUNDTHEM because I /know/ it's coming*
21:37 alexwearspants ok so *breathes out* that was .... that was not as bad as I feared it might be........
21:39 alexwearspants but why are all their faces messy? why no wings? results of attempts to kill them? why only just waking up? is it because the radiation's only just getting to their level? humn. I mean I'm sure it'll reveal it to us but I thought they could eat you in the /blink/ of an eye and this is... much, much more time than that. And there aren't people looking
21:39 alexwearspants everywhere at every moment *shrugs* anyway on with the show.
21:40 alexwearspants OH SACRED BOB
21:40 alexwearspants WHY YOU GOTTA BE SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF OUR FEAR? SO NOT COOL.
21:41 yodacrook I was sad for bob too
21:42 alexwearspants mmmmm it seems like - unnecessary? he's /only/ dying to up the fear factor. I disapprove.
21:44 yodacrook also I totally forgot to bake a delgado cake? faiiil
21:44 alexwearspants awwww
21:45 alexwearspants wait what delgado cake? and why? and how would it be delgadolicious?
21:46 yodacrook I'll draw delgado "obey meeee" face on it?
21:47 alexwearspants O.O oooooh!
21:47 alexwearspants yesssssssssss
21:47 alexwearspants AND THEN EAT IT YES
21:47 alexwearspants god only seven minutes to go and it feels so long?
alexwearspants ok and the crunchsoundblackscreen? overdone, and feels really silly after the big scare of the angels
21:49 alexwearspants It's like, have a fucking apple dude
21:49 alexwearspants it'd sound better
21:50 alexwearspants oh and if this ep doesn't end with the 'SUPRISE ZOOOOOOOOOOM OHNOAMY'SANANGELGASP!!!' I will be very disappointed.
21:50 alexwearspants because that is silly enough that it might just make me be not terrified of these dudes anymore
21:50 yodacrook hahems
21:51 alexwearspants grins at yoda
21:51 yodacrook it...doesn't end like that
21:51 alexwearspants ..... really? oh what a let down
21:51 alexwearspants ah well I suppose I should go and watch and be terrified /damn it/
21:54 alexwearspants AHHHHHHH FUCKING HELL REANIMATED BOB YOU ARE SCARY
21:54 alexwearspants funny but scary AUGH
21:54 alexwearspants and I love that eleven nearly says fuck
21:56 yodacrook ahaha yes
21:57 alexwearspants oh, /snap/ bishop. that was /good/. harsh but /good/
21:59 alexwearspants oooh I like the fact that River's not, to use a terrible line, set in stone
21:59 alexwearspants 'time can be rewritten' indeeeed
22:01 alexwearspants heeeeee 'I don't need you to die for me, I'm not /that/ clingy!' Point to Amy, none to Charley or Rose
22:02 alexwearspants ahahahahahahah YOU'VE GOT SPACE TEETH
22:03 alexwearspants I don't know what this nuwho's obsession with teeth is BUT I LOVE IT
22:07 alexwearspants hmmmmn that was nice and tingly-ending. I'm assuming it's a trap-within-a-trap, probably because they need to get somewhere or do something they can't on their own, and are using the doctor for it
22:08 alexwearspants I'm also really glad that the whole 'OH NO DOCTOR USES A GUN' wank that went on was just ..... this. I LAUGH AT YOU FEN. LAUGH THE WAY I WOULD LAUGH AT SOMEONE GETTING UPSET THAT MOFFAT INSULTED THE VWOORP VWOORP NOISE.... erm.
22:08 alexwearspants also I'm still not hot on River but I like her a lot more than I did before
22:09 alexwearspants and I wonder if that whole 'you made me trust you and then you let me down' is going to be the theme for this season? If so, /interesting/, because with eleven that's obviously going to be a lot different than with Ten, Queen of the Emopires.
22:10 alexwearspants um, and yeah. Liked it. Esp. considering expectations. Probably better than last week's ep. Very different style of story of course. In a way it reminded me of the Project: Twilight audio in that it felt like putting the Doctor into someone else's story
22:11 alexwearspants rather than bringing a cameo into a Doctor Who story
22:11 alexwearspants but yeah. liked it.


In final thoughts I don't want the angels to become the next Big Bad because the more of them there are the less scary they are. Which is good for me and bad for the show. Oh, and I liked the creepy!dramatic of the 'crawling broken towards you' poses of the angel army. Very nice. But yes. No prophecies, no mass angel attack hokay Moffat? Hokay.

OH ALL THE STATUES ARE ANGELS THAT'S JUST FUCKING WONDERFUL

I love what they did with that and the two head thing. At first it's just Pertwee style silliness and cracks about the church and other lols, and then WHAM it's a terrifying plot point.
