tasty_kate | Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways

So, uh, I watched these episodes either the day I left for Italy or the day before... Either way, when I looked at my notes, I didn't remember what I may have been referring to... I was sort of cryptic. "HAHAHAHAHA Jack" doesn't do much to jog the memory.
I didn't particularly care for the whole game show set up going on but I suppose they were pretty big five years ago... heck, I didn't even watch them then. I just remember not being 100% impressed with this episode. The best bits were Jack getting dressed (and undressed).
The Parting of Ways was MUCH better. Maybe the previous episode needed to be crappy to set up for this glorious piece of work. Some of the lines, guh! Loved them. Daleks make a reappearance, typical. I was curious, was RTD trying to make a point about religion with the head honcho Dalek being all crazy-like and "I am God!" sort of thing? Like, God is no better than a Dalek...? Scratch that, my head was on a thousand things that day when I watched it.
That bit where the Doctor deceived Rose to go into the TARDIS so he could send her home... For a hot moment I thought he was going to have her pilot the TARDIS to try and blow it up. Then I checked myself and went, "Holy shit, he's taking her home!" I was aghast. Didn't see that one coming. Way to get one up with Jackie, though. After Rose gets back to that same date and time and she looks into the heart of the TARDIS, she says the most bad ass quote I've heard in a long while:
You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them.
And she delivered it to perfection! Loved it! I nearly got chills. Then, the inevitable happened... Nine regenerated. And pooey, just as I was getting to like him. Didn't think it was a great entrance for Ten, commenting about new teeth, but meh, what can you do.
BRING IT ON, TEN. Let's see if you can live up to the expectations this fandom has given me.
