[Too tired to separate things so just warning v. spoilerific post. don't read unless you want to know]
After the build up that was Turn Left and The Stolen Earth I find Journey’s End a bit of a disappointment. Not that I didn’t have fun seeing everyone reunited it’s just everything felt crammed and it was too much yet too little and…erg…everyone got their happy endings [well, happy enough endings] except for Donna…who probably deserved it just as much as they did. Life’s unfair but I thought DW is about making individuals realize their inner brilliance and thanks to the twist Donna, THE BEST COMPANION EVER, reverts back to her old self. It’s sad. It’s more than sad, it’s a tragedy.
Speaking of tragedies…that last frame of Ten’s face. Ah, lonely again…I’m still musing over how I feel about the Rose/Doctor ending. It just felt so wrong. So she gets her human Doctor. It’s him but it’s not him. And they can get married, have babies, go on adventures. But it’s not right. I would have rather she kicked them both out of the beach. And kissing Ten#2 just because he finally says [whispers actually] I love you when the heartbreak behind Ten#1’s “Does it have to be said?” comment is so audible. Bah. She (or the writers) just chose the easy way out and part of me wishes she they never reunited.
And then there’s the ”That’s me when you first met me” comment. Doctor, when I first met you you were Christopher Eccleston so could you please please be him again? Now a Rose/Nine ending I would have embraced wholeheartedly (I think I read somewhere in the net but I can’t remember where that the Rose/Nine was a more mature relationship compared to Rose/Ten which seemed more like a high-school crush thing…anyway, I agree)
But can I just say, Woohoo Cybermen! Woohoo David Morissey! Woohoo Stephen Moffat 2010!
and I wonder if the Daleks will ever return again. They’re like cockroaches, they just don’t die.
