Commentary for Never Forgotten
rosaxx50 requested commentary on any part of Never Forgotten. Here goes!
Standing in line at the grocery store one day, she’s suddenly assaulted with half-formed daydreams and thoughts of the Olympics, mortgages and a white room that fills her with fear as a man with spiky brown hair and glasses rushes passed to catch his family at the register. Later on at the movies with a few friends, a young blonde haired boy is crying for his mother, and Rose helps him locate the brunette woman who has her hair done in a large braid down her back. She’s crying, scolding the kid for wandering off even as she holds him tight, and Rose suddenly thinks of the London Blitz and gas masks. That same day, as she enters her flat and sees that Mickey has already eaten and is watching a match on the television, she wonders why she was expecting the room to be bigger, and even more worrisome, why she was expecting someone different. The next day, she sees a sleek blue convertible drive passed the bus, and absently thinks that it’s not as blue as… what, she does not know, but nevertheless it’s not the bluest blue that she’s ever seen.
It’s not until three weeks after the incident with the man with the northern accent that she finally decides that there is something going on. She’s walking passed the park to meet Shireen for lunch, and on an impulse decides to see if the grass smells like apple. Rose is already bent over and reaching for a blade when she abruptly straightens, realizing that grass smelling like apples is impossible. Yet, as she hurries off and digs out her cell phone, she can’t help but feel that it shouldn’t be so.
First off, this was a result of me trying to break the slump of my muse, and to post something as my debut on LJ. It sorta worked. I'm still not entirely happy with this, but I'm to lazy to figure out what's wrong with it xD
Anyway, during this point I was thinking about how Amy was reminded of the Doctor among her guests, and I couldn't help but think that Rose, who was in love with the Doctor and spent two plus years with him, would find more similarities more quickly than Amy would. Of course I couldn't go against canon and have Rose bring the Doctor back herself because that would OBVIOUSLY not fit into Moffat's little box of an ideal ending, so Rose simply got a longer and more drawn out revelation.
I tried choosing scenes that were significant to the Doctor/Rose relationship, though now I kinda wish I put more Nine in there. I dunno why I chose the apple grass moment to be the breaking point, but most of this was written with little thought anyway, so xD
And, well, that's the end of it. Don't look for sequel, etc etc, and if you want to request a commentary yourself, go here! Isaac is making us evacuate at home AND school, so I have time on my hands xD
