Jun. 18th, 2005 08:08 pmEvery post on my flist is about Doctor Who, and I do love a bandwagon...
I was completely spoiled. I knew that Rose became the vortex, that the Doctor kissed her and died when he took the vortex into hmiself (shades of Rose Walker from Sandman there, and if nobody's written that crossover yet I will), I knew Rose was the bad wolf, that she destroyed the Daleks, that Tennant was in it, that Jack died and was brought back to life, even that Jack got to kiss everyone...
Still ended up crying like an idiot. Especially at the Doctor's recorded message to Rose telling her what to do to the Tardis - walk away, leave it to gather dust and be forgotten.
I loved Mickey so much in this. Jack, too (and the kiss! The kiss! The rumours that the Doctor got to kiss a male companion have been on the go since episode 5 but somehow I didn't think it would get aired, and it was lovely). Unspoiled, Jack's death would have killed me. "Never doubted him. Never will" did that anyway. And Jack getting left behind because Rose doesn't remember what happened and the Doctor thinks he's dead... I suppose that explains why he's not in the first set of episodes next season.
The Doctor/Rose kiss - shades of Doyle/Cordelia and I was ready for it to be cheesy and I loved it anyway, especially that moment when she talks about experiencing everything all at once and he says, yes, that's how it is for him all the time. RTD, you're a filthy liar for saying all along that they never kiss, only what you actually said was "if they kiss the show would end". Which it did. You wily dog.
I've read lots of fic about Nine's regeneration and a lot of them were similar, Rose sobbing over his body, maybe Nine having an angsty deathbed soliloquoy; I love that he was able to explain to her what was happening, and that he was conscious and joking. "You were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And so was I." *sob*
God, David Tennant looks so young. Adorable though, and he was wonderful in Casanova, and I can't wait to see how he turns out.
And they have to go back for Jack. They *have* to.
Now I'm off to watch the Doctor/Rose, Jack/Rose, Doctor/Jack kissing several thousand times.
