I finally wrote my reaction to it for feministsf the blog.

Totally not spoiler free.

10:04 am: NewWho: ( Why it's good that Donna's story ended the way it did )
It's not.

Much has changed about the Doctor over the years but much has remained the same. Despite the superficial differences in appearance, at heart, or rather at hearts (the Doctor has two) his character is remarkably consistent.

He is still impulsive, idealistic, ready to risk his life for a worthy cause. He still hates tyranny and oppression and anything that is anti-life. He never gives in and he never gives up, however overwhelming the odds against him.

The Doctor believes in good and fights evil. Though often caught up in violent situations, he is a man of peace. He is never cruel or cowardly.

In fact, to put it simply, the Doctor is a hero.

Having the Doctor ( spoiler for NewWho S4 finale ) just give up.

For anyone coming here who doesn't usually read my journal, I wrote about this at more length on feministsf the blog.

03:38 pm: Doctor Who meme (gacked from bluerose)
When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ.

"Now drop your weapons or I'll kill him with this deadly jelly baby."

(One of my favourite quotes. According to Tom Baker, the original script had the Doctor threatening to kill the Sevateem with a knife: Tom was adamant that there was no way the Doctor would ever do that, and substituted a jelly baby.)

There's a line in a later episode, same Doctor: "I never carry weapons. If people see you mean them no harm, they never hurt you. Nine times out of ten..."

Most of the other best lines are situational or dialogue.

07:12 pm: Doctor Who and post-bakesale...
I am liveblogging tonight's Doctor Who, for no particular reason. ( Expect Spoilers )

The bakesale made £87 + change, and we'll take the remainder (the scones, bread rolls, and a very few cakes) to the Meeting House tomorrow, for post-Meeting Quakers to collect and donate.

Update: I wrote a slightly more coherent reaction to episode on feministsf - the blog.
