girlofpreyToby a virgin! Squee!
That was quite good. Not quite as action-packed and tense as I thought it would be, at least by the end. No-one actually believed the Doctor was going to lose and die, did they? I was quite sad that Toby had to die. Clearly a better plan for the Beast would have been to possess Rose - what then, Doctor? WHAT THEN?
But then she wouldn't have a chance to die in battle, I suppose.A spoiler I don't entirely mind.
I was quite looking forward to the plotline where Toby the virgin used the Beast's knowledge to decipher the language andbetray his demon lover defeat the Scarily Powerful Demon that used him, despite being the "weakest link" of the crew. Which would clearly have been a more heartwarming and up-with-humans ending than 'the Doctor does everything and BELIEVES IN ROSE BEYOND COMPARE'. But he did get possessed a lot, which was nice. I choose to believe it was Toby most of the time, only randomly getting possessed, rather than the Beast acting all the time. And that there was a lot of psychic coercion going on that we never got to hear because the show was already too long. And lots of other things besides.
Didn't Toby-The-Beast used to have crazy telekinetic powers at one point? To the point that he could probably have stopped Rose? And how precisely did shooting the window not suck out all their air and explode them, except for Toby-Beast, who as we've seen can stand it? I'm asking too much logic of Dr Who, aren't I?
Anyway. It was quite good and I love Toby. Anyone who wants to write the AU where the Toby-Beast escaped and converted the universe will also have my undying love. Or, oooh, the one where the Doctor destroyed the prison after the rocket was out of the reach of the black hole, and DIED, but everyone on the rocket lived, including Toby-minus-Beast, and they all have to live on past it, especially Rose, who has to get a mortgage on her own. Or some Toby/Danny/Rose. Because that would be hot like burning.
These are all my thoughts. And that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Next week: Jackie seduced by Danny from Hustle! Omg!
