Bits and Bobs and Doctor Who Confusion

[aurillia]

I've had an awful day at work and got to go home early - don't worry, it'll be okay, and I'm 100% supported, but I'm just one of those sensitive, emotional people who cry fairly easily (which sucks, by the way - anyone else like this who finds it just as inconvenient as I do

I love the name Felix. I had an Uncle Felix that I never met because he died before I was born. I always wondered what he was like.

I'm sorry about Adam's Uncle. Cancer is just awful. I've had a few close to me die of breast cancer that spread and it's horrible to watch.

I think you missed a few episodes. The last part of the second half (I think) Donna episode before Martha comes covers what happened there. I think it was the same actress of the Rose finale that played Martha and yes, that was a different plane. The doctor and Rose have crossed over at different times to the two planes, but I'm not sure which cross overs you might have missed. I stopped watching after one of the seasons and I'm not sure which one to know where you are exactly. I am wondering if they are skipping episodes or if you tend to watch like me and jump around from things in your house and miss parts.

Thanks, I really was muddled! So Rose is in the other universe, not the Doctor. I don't think they're skipping episodes; they were playing the "Christmas specials" at 10 pm on Saturday so I've missed them all - think there were three. So that's what happened there. Pooey!

At the end, Rose and the Doctor get separated on two different dimension. I'm pretty sure Rose ended up on her original plane, and the Doctor on a different one? The one where there were blimps over London?

No, Rose and her Mum are in the alternative world with her Dad - who was a bigwig there but dead in our world.

So, after a final farewell, suddenly Donna in a wedding dress turns up in the Tardis, and the episode ended on a big "What?!"

That was the lead in for the 2006 Christmas special, The Runaway Bride' which introduced Donna Noble as a character.

Then, the next episode, he meets Martha and takes her on board. So what the hell happened in-between?! Donna's there one second, and suddenly not!

See above. They missed the Christmas special.

Also, Martha looks exactly like one of the minor characters in the big Rose finale who was killed by a cyberman - it is the same actress isn't it? I'm not going mad am I? So, the Doctor's now on a different plane of existence, yes? I'm so confused! I think I must be missing bits. Help!

Gorgeous icon by the way!

Thanks so much, that really helps!

They've been playing the three Christmas specials at 10 pm so I haven't watched them. Have to share the telly y'know!

I AM WITH YOU

I am a cry machine. Happy, sad...it doesn't really matter in my world.

One benefit is that crying flushes out the toxins....so I never get any build up.

I think it is a bit rough at times to be a crier. I would never trade it off and not be in touch with how I truly feel.

I am a sensitive passionate and compassionate soul. That will never change.

Crying tends to make my face ache and my body feel exhausted :) But I went to the gym yesterday (had to skip on Tuesday 'cause I had a killer headache from crying!) and it really does help, all those endorphins :D

They did skip the one Donna Christmas episode, but then went back and played it a day later. I'm not sure why they played it out of order like that; the husband and I were also confused.

I'll admit to being a movie sniggerer, but if I know 100% that this is a movie I will be laughing at (at least when it's not intended as a comedy), I will rent it. Then I can laugh and make comments all I want. If it unexpectedly turns out to be something that makes me laugh at all the wrong moments... well, can't help that one, really. I know I mentioned that the husband and I giggled through the first Twilight movie, but we honestly weren't expecting that to be our reaction. I saw it out of curiosity, not because I wanted a giggle.

Oh, and wanted to add that while I'm normally not a very emotional person, I cry at late night commercials when I'm pregnant. I was a huge wreck in the hospital, too. Thankfully, the hormones are beginning to die down now!

[aurillia]

Awww that's funny! I thought late night commercials were all for phone sex and dodgy lawyers across the border? It must be a relief to have the hormones settle down again!

They were playing the specials here at 10pm on Saturday. Couldn't ask Adam to let me watch yet more Doctor Who - it wouldn't be fair!

I love sniggering at movies at home with Adam, taking the piss, but I would never do it in the cinema. I keep my thoughts quiet until afterwards ;)

Oh the Twilight movies are funny, kinda corny, but I find myself laughing with rather than at them. The people sitting beside me just seemed mean.

Being emotional does run in our family, and yes, it can be very inconvenient at times!! I remember one time in the bank when I was learning my new lending job and my supervisor was going through a loan application I took, asking me why I didn't do or ask all these things. In the end I melted into tears. Thankfully she was very sympathetic and helped me a lot. So you're not alone!!

I was going to answer your Doctor Who questions but the others have done a pretty good job!

I knew you and Mum were the same - it's comforting to hear it again! I feel like a bit of a freak about it sometimes, not to mention vulnerable. I worry too that it comes across as manipulative, like I'm trying to make people feel sorry for me. I always overthink things!

[ext_84342]

As Mum says, it must be the Sagittarians in us! Sometimes I think I use tears to win an argument with Ant, so naturally that makes me feel guilty.

Aaahh guilt, how you taunt me!!
