Fifth installment in the Kat watches all of Doctor Who in the most fucked up order anyone could come up with series. Order courtesy of @spaceymcspaceship

21) Deep Breath

Oh, a long boi.

I wrote this and then got sick for two days and didn’t actually watch anything. Then I watched Rings of Akhaten for # dwlockdown which was not at all in the order this was supposed to go so I won’t voice any opinions, but on a less story-focused note, Murray Gold is an excellent person and as a music major, I enjoyed a lot of the things he had to say about composing for DW and this episode (which is of course very music-centred) in general.

Anyway. It’s three days later, I am back and I have sweets, let’s fucking do this my fellas.

Here he comes, his hair is short and he is not to be fucked with.

“The not-me one” sounds funny but it’s so sweet actually. Like they’re the only two people in the universe. That is literally the only way a distinction between me and not me would make sense.

Gimme that lesbian moment, gang.

The Dinosaur speech is terrible, but it is making me teary eyed, fuck Moffat (but in a good way)

Young Twelve has big Thirteen energy

Strax is very relatable and I love and treasure him

The scarf is not stupid and I am extremely angry they felt the need to come for my gay son like that

They put so much time into mentioning he’s Scottish, it’s the new “It’s Christmas”

Jenna looks very good in historical outfits and that is all I will say on that

The horror feel of the lunch scene is so good - the creeping realization, the acting, the soundscape

“Do you have a children’s menu” This was the moment I fell in love with Twelve

Don’t worry king, I am admiring the efficiency even if no one else is

The breath-holding scene is amazingly executed: the music, the acting, the set design, the way it’s shot and cut… it just all comes together to this really amazing moment

The negotiation scene is so powerful as well - I’m not a big fan of the cut, but the dialogue is great

I also hate being wrong in public, but that’s life

It’s always the 51st century with these people innit

There are so many pretty shots

Is this chronologically the last time the Paternoster sees the Doctor up until now? Like, I know they see Eleven again in Demons Run, but I’m guessing that that would have been before in their timeline? So they just see this fresh Timelord fly off with Clara, who is kinda still a dead girl to them, and then they never come back? Man, that’s rough

These shots are all so good. I also wish to meet the set designer so they can stomp on me and crush me under their heel.

22) Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror

Jodie is back and warms my heart. It might also be important to mention that I pulled an allnighter at this point and all future entries rightfully read like they were written by a crazed madman on crack cocaine.

I love this episode a lot because I love Tesla and I love Thirteen and honestly, what else do you need me to say

Smart brain: This is a well-structured episode that makes important points on creativity and self-worth which I personally, as an artist and also a human being, relate to and value

Sleep-deprived brain: Best group of friends ever run around and fight evil sexy Scorpion can I get a woohoo

The musical themes get me on a level that I cannot explain while sounding like a sane human being, so I would prefer not to

Oh, this is the first New York episode? That’s fun, I also see a lot of others coming up shortly. Maybe my next rewatch should be centered around location? That sounds like an even more shite order to watch doctor who in, so I’m gonna give that a go somewhen

Thirteen and Tesla bonding? That shit hurted

Unpopular opinion, but if Tesla had been better at naming stuff, it might have taken off

“Welcome, Nikola Tesla” with the very specific sound effect and the violins in the background will forever haunt my nightmares

I would die for Graham O’Brien

Thirteen as Tesla’s assistant? Wow, sexism is alive and well even in space

Team Cool Af Goggles for life

“A trail of blood and other people’s brilliance” is very good and I will continue to talk about it

“The future is mine” Believe me when I say I screamed

23) Human Nature

Ngl I’ve rewatched this one a lot recently so I’m a bit sick of it

Still a great story tho and brilliant in setting up the master arc

There seems to be a lot of outrage about these heterosexuals, but I honestly like them? Awkward and sweet and heart-breaking

The stethoscope mirroring Martha’s first episode? Don’t do this to me

Flashbacks are cleverly cut

Baines’ actor is so good, might fuck around and watch Brave New World just for him when it comes out

24) Family of Blood

Finally I don’t have to wait for a sequel, I could not have dealt

I was then promptly robed into disassembling a whole ass garden shed and took a long ass break

So many big emotions are going on, but I haven’t slept in 40 hours and I still need to set up a whole pathfinder character, so I’m just sitting here crying while trying to figure out racial feats

They sure be taking their time with the ending but I’m into it

25) The Unicorn and the Wasp

Was about to comment “Oh, finally some Tennant” because I forgot yesterday

But: finally some Donna

“Funny place to wear pearls” FuCK

I love Agatha Christie so much

Absolutely here for this Dickens shoutout

Nevermind the giant wasp, I love the dialogue here, and it’s it’s acted out amazingly

Oh, it’s the fucking scene, the stuff of meme and legend

The sequence at the end just gets me, y’all

Also this is such a good episode, I forgot to take notes again

“Onwards” yes indeed

The question whether or not there was a real wasp they used as a prop led me down a road of BBC confidentials that didn’t really answer anything but were still enjoyable so no time wasted

Then I watched New Earth and Gridlock for the lockdown, but that don’t count. All in all, a lot of good Tennant episodes in very little time.
