Tomb:

-I was a big fan of Victoria's screaming used to distract her captors. Rather ingenious of her, I thought, and it nicely subverted what we might expect from her since she appears so delicate. I have to say, maybe I just caught her in a good serial, but I'm quite fond of Victoria now. I hope there are more serials with her that didn't get burninated.

-The googly eyes on the Cybermats really, really reminded me of Pet Rocks. Which meant it was a touch harder to take them seriously, but...oh well.

-Oh, I believe it when the Doctor has a scary moment. :D I mean, even the 'non-violent' Doctors could be ruthless when they had to be. It's one of the things that make his character so intriguing.

Genesis:

-So with you on Davros. With almost any other villian I can think of, that speech would have sounded a little off to me, but it was just perfect for Davros. That scene gave me chills because it was just so good. And really, I know Terry Molloy is supposed to be the definitive Davros, but it's going to be hard to top Michael Wisher for me. :)

-Oh, good, I'm not alone. *phew* Really, I love The Scarf, I do, but I also like any time we get a reminder that Four has a neck. XD

Also, further forays into the Four era have informed me that I could listen to Tom Baker talk all day. About anything. < /shameful confession>

-Looking at the "something good" comment from an outsider's perspective, I can see your point (that something good comes out of everything), but in the context of the episode it seems a little too upbeat considering that the Doctor, Harry, and Sarah Jane have just watched the Daleks slaughter everyone in the bunker. I understand the sentiment, but the actual statement feels jarring.

-Consider Resurrection next on my too-watch list.

Movie:

-I guess it's not strictly necessary that you see the movie, since I'm guessing most of the books and audio dramas for Eight are better (haven't heard them, so I couldn't tell you). But it seems a shame to miss it, since the movie is completely full of crack.

And watching Seven die hurt, dammit. More than death/regeneration scenes usually do. Because...I mean...it was so meaningless. It wasn't as if he got hurt in an adventure or something; he just got killed by guys with guns who couldn't care less who he was.

*sniffle*

-Your interpretation of the post-regeneration thing is easily as good as whatever the creators could come up with, so...I'll go with that.

-And while I could pass off the Doctor's line as a joke, the trouble comes in when the Master 'confirms' it via the Eye of Harmony (yeah...I don't know either). The Doctor isn't even there when he says it.

So, for the sake of my own sanity, I'm going with 'botched Chameleon Arch transformation' or 'clever, clever scheme of Seven's for just such an occasion'. My canon does not have a half-human Doctor. *pouts*
