Doctor Who 4x02: "The Fires of Pompeii"

I don't really think their clothes wouldn't attract weird looks. But whatever.

I like the music in this episode.

I feel smart because I know what Vestal Virgins are thanks to my Classical Mythology class.

I love Donna... I love their bickering.

"I am... Spartacus." "And so am I." AWESOME. Lots of great lines in this episode.

Whoa, this battle of the soothsayers is pretty crazy. I think the Doctor agrees... "She is returning." Hmm, I wonder who that might be referring to... WINK. Also, what was that about Donna having something on her back?

I always get nervous whenever the Doctor and his companion are separated. Judging from the previews for this episode, my fears are not unfounded.

Wasn't there a disease where people turned to stone in New Earth? I can't remember what it was called.

The only gun the Doctor would have on him WOULD be a water gun.... that's great.

This episode was pretty brutal at the end. I'm glad Donna is there for the Doctor now, and I'm glad he's glad about it too. I wasn't surprised at all to see who their new household gods were. I'm pretty much over the religious symbolism though. It wouldn't bother me so much here if they hadn't completely overdone it in Voyage of the Damned. It makes slightly more sense here because of the religious system of ancient Rome, but still. I knew they'd have some kind of shrine thing to them. I just knew it.
