Doctor Who 4x13
That was much better than the season 3 finale with plenty to love about it, but I'm cranky because I DO NOT like what they did to Donna at the end. Seriously, I almost wish she had a heroic death, because what we got was so freakin' cruel. Maaaaan.
Vonnie, I agree that DW 4x13 was tres cruel, but I thought it was effective and sadmaking, but I think Donna got to save the world and even though she'll never remember it, I think she's going to do much better this time round, much better than the AU of 4x12. I can kinda see why next season is going to be light because I can see as the doctor needs to mourn, because he's in big time denial.
Taunting taunters.
I just had a Eureka flashback - of Jack and Henry saying, "Why does this look like me?"
"It's generic."
Totally has nothing to do with anything, except that I was watching some SG-1 clips and pondering Jack Carter as the love child of Jack and Sam... maybe the interlude in 1969 lasted longer than was shown... Kinda sorta the two Jacks have a similar shape of head and face, might be twisted into a family resemblance.
Who 4X13: Bless Russel and his romantic fan-boy heart.
DW 4x13
ita, I really hoping that would be the case, because the notion of Donna ending back exactly where she was, all her personal growth earned during her travel negated, is too wretched to be borne. Man, there are going to be SO MANY fix-it fic to this episode. I don't read DW fanfic usually, but I may make an exception in this case.
Vonnie, I think it was in your LJ that I read that in DW 4x12 Rose getting miffy at Martha was fanservice on RTD's part. So...what is it? What do the fans want? A Rose who deserves a Doctor, or one who's pissy? From my reading I thought RTD didn't like fan opinion anyway, but I'm out of touch.
I'm with Vonnie and ita.
Also, I think Catherine Tate owns a part of my soul.
DW 4x13
Vonnie, I too wish that they had just straight up killed Donna rather than send her back to her pitiful existence, especially after Doctor v2 sees how and why she ticks.
and oh how joyous all the companions flying the tardis, the music, that whole sequence, I think that may have been the happiest moment of television ever.
but now I think I'm just terribly depressed. So much more to talk about, but I think I just want to curl up and cry into my pillow.
I do have this to say: holy hell, what a way to externalize the Doctor's self-flagellation and guilt over the Time War by having him condemn his second self for the genocide. I knew something was very wrong the second he came running out of the Tardis with a *gun* in his hand. And yet I want to smack the Doctor for his desire to save creatures who want to wipe out all of existence. And that's why I'm not a Time Lord. Lady. Whatevs.
Julie, SERIOUSLY. It was like the ultimate combination of OMG SO AWESOME and OMG SO SAD.
I think she's going to do much better this time round,
ita, I hope your right, and I think that there is some glimmer of hope for this, especially if the Doctor's command to have Donna's mum tell Donna that she loves her every once in a while/show it.
