That was the cruellest, cruellest ending. I am so upset right now, really. I cried buckets.
The opening sequence - pretty much the same as last episode, so I wasn't crying at that point. Even though it had the whole "This is the story of how I died." thing.
When they were holding on for dear life to avoid being sucked through the void... that was when I think everyone knew it was gonna happen. It was the most tragic scene. How the Doctor screamed Rose's name... The way they just both touched the same wall in different worlds, leaning against it... it was like they could feel one another. So close and yet so far away. And then the Doctor just walked away.
I don't think I could have lived without that final goodbye scene. But they didn't even finish properly. They couldn't even touch one another, which I thought was so awful. And finally, we have those three words that we've been waiting for one or the other of them to say for two whole series. It was the way the Doctor was cut off like that. MY HEART IS BROKEN, DAMNIT.
"I love you."
"Quite right too. And I suppose, if this is the last chance I'll get to say it... Rose Tyler--"
And that was it. All I can say is, I hope he gets a chance to finish that sentence one day. This is the first time we've ever seen the Doctor properly crying. I dunno whether I liked the ending or not - I mean, Catherine Tate, wtf?! I love her and all that, made me smile through my copious sobbing, but it didn't really lift my mood. So she's the 'Runaway Bride' in the Christmas special.
When I came downstairs - I made no attempt to cover up the fact I'd been crying, haha - I found my mum, and both of my sisters also in tears. My mum just handed the tissue box around! Poor Gemma, though - she kept saying "I miss Rose! I miss Rose!". Poor darling D=
So that's the end I suppose, for now. Can't believe it. Anyone else thinking Will and Lyra from the Amber Spyglass? Fecking heart breaking. Can we claim compensation from the BBC for broken hearts?
The Doctor's back to square one. Alone again. Rose is working at Torchwood - guess that's a step up. Jackie's pregnant and she's got a new Pete - Rose is back with her family, I suppose. But not the man she loves. Blimey, got a bit of a shock... I thought Rose was gonna say SHE was pregnant, for one moment!
I have so many thoughts here, but it's too soon to write them down. I'll probably come back later.
They were ripped apart. It was so unkind. I'm off now to cry some more. I actually don't know what to do with myself :'-(
