D'awwing and Ranting and loving D/R

Jun 17, 2008 17:28

Sometimes, it just takes me watching David Tennant and Billie Piper being ridiculously sweet next to each other in an in-vision commentary for Doomsday to get my spirits up to war against the haters and the fact that I'm very sort of nervous that you-know-who is coming back.

( And He said that there would be spoilers, and he said it was a rule and that you shall not read. Oh, sorry, was it the Doctor who said that? I forgot, he has been sort of God-iting all around the place, I'm getting them mixed up now... Next thing you know, he'll start saying things are 'good' or something... )

Rose/Ianto (WTF, LEAVE ME ALONE, IT WAS IN A FIC AND IT WAS GOOD), Rose/Reinette (Er... I can explain, I swear...), Master/Rose (Okay, I realise this is getting ridiculous),
LOL, you know you were this close to killing right there. I needed a laugh.
I have to agree with you on a lot of this, I had the same reaction to her comming back as you did. wasn't too happy about it after the obvious glee had died down. In fact, three days before the news of her return was out, I'd written a little "how to deal with the loss of rose" thingy, telling hte poor fans that there were two fics that would really help. So...bring it on saturday, bring. it. on. 0_0

IF SAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN ON THESE FOLLOWING SATURDAYS, I'LL PROBABLY BE IN SEVERE NEED OF THAT LINK.

Won't be any need to worry about water shortages any more. I'll be crying enough to make up for them.

I'd like to see a change in tone. I've had enough angst and misery. If seeing Rose again can help the Doctor move forward, enjoy other relationships and adventures and not feel that the universe has it in for him, I'll be okay with that. But there are ways they could resolve it happily - for example they could give them some way of seeing each other again from time to time, maybe through a psychic bond or something.

And I'd like him to find that sense of family connection that he had with the Tylers. He needs those roots.

And I'm very worried about Donna.

maniacal_math June 19 2008, 07:15:11 UTC

I totally agree. I miss happiness in Doctor Who, although Donna's been doing a brilliant job in easing it back to us bit by bit. And I will be satisfied with them being able to contact each other again, or on occasion, or even every century. It would make me pleased and cheerful.

I loved the Doctor with the Tylers. They really did sort of take him in, er... after Jackie got over the whole "bastard alien stealing my daughter" thing.

I will cry for just about anyone dying in these finales. If RTD makes the death of a passing dog emotional enough, I will be weeping my eyes out.

Alright. This comment could get a little lengthy. ;)

My initial reaction to Rose's return was, fangirlish. OMG. NO WAI. ROOOOOSE? It was first denial, then it turned into squeeing, holy shit, this is Rose we're talking about here, and eventually it transformed into anxiety.

I agree wholeheartedly with you on the fact that with her return, Doomsday has lost the effect. Partly the reason to why it was so beautiful and striking was that she was being forever seperated from the man that she loved. And now, miraciously, she has found a way back. Now, I realize that it's science-fiction and all, and that they can basically make anything happen, but they're seperated by a dimension. She can't just come back. It just doesn't work that way for me.

I also permanantly picture Ten as a wounded man, he loses everything. And yes, my mind always pictures him as emo, weeping for Rose, his Rose ( ... )

Lengthy comments are usually the best comments, in my opinion ( ... )

harmony_jam07 June 19 2008, 18:02:46 UTC

LOL YAY LONG COMMENTS.

I'm getting so scared for it. Lyke, the closer we get, the more nervous I am. I want Saturday here, nao, soooo bads. But then again, what if it turns out shoddy? GAH. I'm also really nervous that Rose won't be Rose any longer. She'll be this really jaded character now because of all she's gone through. *FINGERS CROSSED*

I'm really excited,but nervous as to what happens in the end.I wouldn't want her to die either , and I will be gutted if they just brought her back to kill her off :(. I'm having faith in Rusty until the end of the finale, then I will make my decision.We have some hope though , as there is still the three special next year,so maybe she could be in those?

maniacal_math June 19 2008, 07:26:53 UTC

I have faith in Rusty too. Like I said, he ruined LotTL for me (maybe not for you) but he's still in my good books.

I hope she's in the specials, although from what I heard it's sounding like she might not be.

Okay, so I stopped reading halfway through -- not because I was falling asleep, b/c that's so not the case, but ... I had a comment that I wanted to add, from this:

Because then what was the point of Doomsday? Rose's return really renders that episode mostly moot, especially the ending scene, especially that and that makes me sad, because that scene was what made the episode strikingly beautiful.

While I agree that if done incorrectly, it will make Doomsday pointless, I think it really depends on what Rose has gone through since the separation. It's clear that she's a bit cynical once she returns to the Doctor's universe, and there's a story behind that -- has to be. She's different, and darker, and as is the Doctor, as we've seen for a season and a half.

I trust Russell to do it right. You're right, we have tons of time left for this FAB show, but Doomsday was right, this will be, too. I tell myself this so I can get through the next few weeks.We might end up being surprised. Rose was so kick ass. Donna's so kick ass, I'm ( ... )

I trust RTD too, although, as much as I try to deny it, after last Series finale, I am feeling a little "eeeeeeeeh" on it. He usually doesn't let me down, and if last Series hadn't happen I'd probably wouldn't have any doubts that this would be fantastic. But it did happen and so I'm a little worried.

To be honest, I'm also somewhat concerned on Rose being different, because one thing that made Rose who she was was her vivaciousness and compassion, and if she is darker, that is sort of faded and I'm kind of worried about that too.

I'm thinking we're in store for the most kick-assicky episodes of New Who ever.

Best way to describe these episodes before we ever watched them ever. Here's a sticker.
