love, Love, LOVE! this chapter! So many things I want to quote and talk about. I'm going to have to tone it down a bit I think.
Okay, first, I LOVE the not so subtle parallel between the Doctor and Brem. Having them both start out with almost the same exact thought process was brilliant. I love it when you can see just how alike they are. Very nicely done.
It is VERY worrying that Cunodys was destroyed when Brem got there. Most worrying indeed. I'm glad Brem didn't just charge forth without back up and I'm SO glad he went to visit Matt. Somehow I think Matt very much needed a visit from his best friend.
The conversation about the DVD's was amusing even though it was also very sad. Poor Matt. I love how he automatically blames Brem. And how Brem just accepts it. LOLOLOL.
THIS Was hands down the BEST line in the story: “I would follow her anywhere. I would spend every minute I have chasing after her through time and space. What does she not understand about that? There is nothing in my life here that is nearly as important as she is. All she has to do is ask me.”
*Melts* Oh, Matt, sweetheart - TELL HER! Brem's right, Athena doesn't have much experience with humans and she's way too close to pick up on any of the signs. Also, there's this whole thing where she's in complete denial about being in love with you.
She can figure it out without my being the one with the broken heart. Again.” Awwwwww, Matt. *hugs* Love is hard, isn't it? See, the thing about Time Lords is that sometimes they are so THICK (because, of course, they think they know everything) that you have to be VERY BLUNT with them. I'm not worried though. I'm sure you'll figure it out. otherwise my heart will be broken too
She knows Kate. Who said no when I asked her. So there’s some precedent that… OOOOH! A hint about what happened with Kate. But did she say no to what I'm thinking she said no to? One day you are going to end my agony of wanting to know what happened to Kate right? *tries very, very hard to be patient*
HAHAHAHAHA I love that Brem works the coat. Coat's are very important to Time Lord's I suppose (and to immortal ex time agents who double as uncles).
*sporfle* On Bou, you know, you encounter a similar story, only it’s about men claiming they’re not wearing toupees. ‘You’re like the man who said it really is that thick and luxurious,’ that’s what they say.” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Classic and hysterical line. Where do you come up with this stuff? Marvelous. Really. I laughed so loud when I first read that line. Really. I'm sure my neighbours are wondering what's wrong with me.
Adore the banter between Brem and Matt for the rest of the scene. They're so much like brothers. I'm so glad that Brem has such a good friend. Makes me wonder how different the Doctor would have been (and how much happier) if he'd had someone like Matt around. I really think Matt should just be made an honourary member of the family - he's *that* wonderful! (or, you know, he could just Marry Athena, that would work too! :))
The Ood were an interesting twist. Although it left me wondering if the Doctor had navigated correctly or if the Ood had somehow intercepted him and they're not on Cunodys after all. I guess we'll find out in the next chapter? Either way, just the idea that Athena may have dated an Ood had me howling. So did not even consider that, or see it coming. I mean, how would you even kiss an Ood? (And why am I even pondering this question?) Surely all the tentacles would get in the way.
Anyway, great, great, great chapter. My only complaint is that is over and now I have to wait a whole entire week for more.
