Episode 4 : Aliens of London
So we have another recap but it refers back to the first episode. So naturally, we are wondering if we’re going back to Rose’s hometown [and time].
And we are. The Doctor says they were only gone for 12 hours but of course I suspect it has been longer. Cause this Doctor has been showing some of the latest Doctor’s traits… AKA, he can’t actually land the TARDIS in the right time.
So we watch as Rose wanders to her mum’s flat while the Doctor notices something. Kind of weird look on his face before he chases after Rose. Was totally right because remember, 12 months =/= 12 Hours people.
–insert random kid writing “BAD WOLF” on TARDIS BECAUSE IT’S TOTALLY RELEVANT!-
Back to the apartment, we see Rose’s mum freaking out. Cause you know, 12 months is kind of scary for a mum to be missing her only child. Definitely freak worthy in my opinion and I just don’t get why Rose doesn’t see that. And damn does mummy dearest have a good right hook… Uh, not that I approve of the punching of the Doctor… >.> And everything the Doctor and Rose did wasn’t too bad… Well, maybe save for the exploding of the sun and the end of the world… That was way deadly I guess.
And we go to Rose and the Doctor randomly sitting around. We find that the Doctor is only 900 years old. So the age gap isn’t that bad… And Rose basically says, “If I say anything about aliens and stuff, one of two things could happen: 1. Crazy house or 2. She’ll live with her mum forever.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Aw, it’s just a UFO… -sigh- Wait! Not Big Ben! D; Way not cool people. What did that clock tower ever do to you. And we’re back to the damn hand holding.
And now they finally do what everyone else does now-a-days, watch the news to find out WTF happened. Even the U.S. President is worried about this stuff. No area 51 stuff here…
And where the heck are all these people coming from? Does no one except Rose’s mum have a television in their apartment complex?
And naturally, we go to the behind the scenes stuff… And they show you nothing. D: I want to see this damn alien!
Donde esta the Prime Minster?! And of course the only person available to act as P.M. is some random dude who probably isn’t remotely close to the top of the chain… Who is given super, secret extra instructions? That guy. Wonder if those directions include something about the Minister of Magic… >.>
And our acting P.M. is all sorts of creepy with his peeps, laughing it up… Suspicious for sure.
And the Doctor tries to be sneaky. Rose catches him and wants him to promise he won’t leave without her. So he gives her the keys… Wait, the TARDIS has keys? That just seems so weird…
And we have the mysterious return of the boy toy Mickey. Sadly, he fails to follow the Doctor but he is, overall, a failure all around in my opinion.
And our lobbyist friend appears again. At least she is sticking to her cause! That’s quite admirable. But then she goes snooping, which makes me like her more! And she snoops through the super, secret files for the acting P.M.
Now we flash to the Asian lady scientist we had scene early when they ALMOST revealed the alien. And creepy things are going down where she is. Maybe it’s the Doctor!...Or not as we hear a scream from the scientist lady. And we find that the alien is actually alive! Amazing!
OMG! IT’S A PIGGY ALIEN! IT’S A PIGGY! DON’T SHOOT HIM! D; </3 Poor scared piggy…
And as if the acting P.M. and his people would come back this quickly to a room he just left. And him and these people are weird, with all their farting and stuff. Of course, this general guy has no clue what is going on. Either they are aliens or there is some disease out there that results in blue light coming from someone’s head…
Wait, a fake alien! It was just a distraction! Poor piggy. </3 And the Doctor disappears a la Batman style.
Poor Mickey! He’s kind of loyal but still makes an ass move. Still don’t like him and still think he’s kind of a tool.
And Rose’s mum finally gets some answers… Well, not really, she runs off in fear like a normal human being. All the while, the Doctor refuses to make the magic TARDIS domestic. Don’t really blame him cause that would make it hard.
And Rose’s mum runs off to call the emergency line! No! Bad idea! Don’t do it! D=
Back to the TARDIS. Even the Doctor knows what a tool Mickey is. Ass. He shouldn’t question the Doctor. It’s not the Doctor’s fault that Rose isn’t really a great girlfriend. And we have an almost lovely moment but interrupted cause the Doctor doesn’t want domestication. Though we learn Ricky Mickey has a reputation, considering everyone thinks he killed Rose.
And we learned that the creepy P.M. and his posse are using human meat suits. The lobby lady needs the Doctor!
However, the Doctor is found by the mysterious bad guys first! D; But he doesn’t know that… <3 to what the Doctor says. And shouldn’t the Doctor be remaining low key? Then why is waving and shit to the press?
And we find that one of the evil aliens in a meat suit is with Rose’s mum! Nuuuu!
Back to the meeting of the minds… Of course, Rose can’t go into the super, secret conference room. So she talks to the Lobby lady for a bit. Who reveals the alien meat suit secret! And then they are cornered by the creepy lady/alien that is in a meat suit.
Well, actually all the aliens in meat suits reveal themselves kind of simultaneously. Of course, I wonder how it took Rose’s mum so long to notice the strange blue light in her living room… And why the hell didn’t she grab a knife? I mean, you’re in a bloody kitchen for Pete’s sake!
And all the people in the super, secret conference are being electrocuted… Not cool beans. ID cards = bad.
