Absolutely insane hearing Sarah Jane being willing and able to sacrifice a friend for the greater good. Like I get it but also oh my god.

I'm too Faction Paradox brainrotted for this.

Bill thinking Nine looks like a lesbian she had a crush on sent me into hysterics.

Love that scene at the end where all of them are stuck in a room with each other and none of them are enjoying it.

I always have a lot of fun with this episode. It's silly, it's a bit convoluted, and it's got some super fun bits to it. It's probably one of my favorite earlier Capaldi episodes.

This story lives rent free in my head and once again proves Jenny Colgan really, really knows how to write these two.

Ten is a bit of a dork, Donna is just a little bit of a loser, and there's some funny bits (like the entire sequence on the plane where Donna misses Ten being attacked because she's watching a movie) and some genuinely heartfelt moments (like Donna marching off into the jungle to try and find the Doctor after the plane crashes), as well as some completely and utterly horrific moments (like the fate of everyone at the monastary, or Donna succumbing to the infection), and it's all just so much fun.

Also it was kind of fun to see Gully again after Time Reaver.

Partners in Crime is always one of my favorite episodes to rewatch because it's brilliantly directed, Catherine Tate and David Tennant are hysterical, and it really sets up everything that happens over the course of season 4 and makes it so much more satisfying when everything wraps up.

RTD hit his stride with season 4 and this opener is no exception in my opinion.

I adore this episode, and it's one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who ever. It introduces one of my favorite characters of all time in anything ever in Donna, and it's just so silly.

Ten is mopey and sad and wet and pathetic and it's incredibly funny and touching to see someone like Donna (self-absorbed, forceful, and very keen on being a nuisance, but ultimately a good person with a big heart) break through the shell of his grief a little bit and unintentionally save him from himself.

Catherine Tate and David Tennant have fantastic chemistry and it's always so nice to go back and rewatch this knowing that that's why we ended up getting a full season of Donna as a companion. They just bounce off of each other so well and it's delightful.

At first I had a grudge against this episode for what they did to my favorite gremlin old man the First Doctor, but I rewatched it with the explanation from the novelization in mind (that One was just doing that to annoy Twelve) and it became ten times funnier and also very enjoyable. It's a fun episode, even if it's very uncharitable towards the early show and the time period it was written in.

If I had a nickel for every story that featured a dinosaur skeleton on a rampage as a plot point I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. Especially cause Ten sometimes feels like Harry Dresden if he was an alien and constantly high on caffeine.

Also, Donna wearing the Doctor's coat. That is all.

I have many, many thoughts about this episode for a lot of reasons that I can't really put into words at this moment, so I will instead focus on the fact that Ten was mortified that Donna was wearing crocs to this adventure.
