Long into the ether of missing the first of the third of the Tenth. Time asks for nothing more than patience and patience returns the favour with attention, fixation and simply whiling away the hours of the day losing the world around to that of Gallifrey
Light on The Doctor and Martha, off with Charlemagne. Heavy on the suspense, thrilling shrill of fear and tension. Smooth play of disconnecting time streams and all that wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey... stuff. Time travel gets extremely messy and finding the logic is not the point. Just don't blink. Keep your eyes open on them all the time and whatever you do, don't blink. Scary, stuff that puts fingernails into the canvas chair.
Climbing mountains for Martha's leg of the trip with The Doctor, Captain Jack makes a welcome return. Split double over the course, the crescendo tremors to reveal the intricate nature of dealing with Time Lords and the power they wield over the mind and their understanding of all that time travelling stuff. Power struggle of the kind that wants and hopes for a happy resolve. You can't get what you want all the time.
Donna Noble joins Tenth as the new companion in a lost love/lingering knowing kind of revelation. Warm and happy and loud all while fat little pudgy aliens run about in the background to the mothership. Cute introduction to a new species while serving up a deliberate dose of what and how this new travelling partner will take to things. Funny on the whole, terribly uplifting escapist fare by the time the two decide to make with the vroop-vroop and end up in Rome.
UNIT, Martha and the Nobles are all in the car with The Doctor and Donna heading long and hard into the decimation of the world's population in what appears to be an environmental catastrophe. Nothing is accidental, mind, in the world of The Doctor. Homely, the time with Donna's family grounds better than showing the London populace gasping for air from the killer gases hissing from their cars. Travelling with The Doctor tends not to bode well for the family members' peace and quiet.
Donna really lets out with her clerical skills as Ten is the one shouting more than ever. Splicing off some DNA might do that. Ludicrous nature of war and fighting for beliefs long ago, the parallels are certainly apparent with the many years and centuries on normal Earth. The post Time War resolve and being of The Doctor faces the demons in a mannered passion. And the passion is overt, but kind, knowing of the ravages on the psyche death and plying the hands of destruction will render.
