Dr Who and Star Wars
Yeah, this was a tricky weekend. Got home on Sunday morning and watched the tape of the last episode of Dr Who. Then went to the cinema with the family to watch Star Wars. Loved both, but two endings on one day os a bit much...
Dr Who:
I love the BBC. Not often, I'll admit, but they showed a m/m kiss in their Saturday family show. I'm mourning Jack, even though he isn't dead. He was so brave, and so broken when they left without him. I know they didn't know that they were, but I can still feel for him. Such a transformation in my opinion of a character in so short a time...
And I loved the kiss(es), and the Dalek's fundamentalism, Nine sending Rose away because he knew she'd never ask and if she was safe nothing else mattered. Choosing 'coward' over killer, Rose!Tardis creating herself as the Bad Wolf, Rose saving the Doctor and him saving her. His sweet, oh-so-careful explanation of regeneration even as he died. His last line. Oh I'm going to miss Christopher Ecclestone...
I'm sure DT will be fine, but Nine is my Doctor (and Rose's) so as much as I think DT will be funny and cute, he's always gonna be number two in my head. Now what do I do until November?
Star Wars:
I guess this one is worse, I've been waiting for it for so long. Plus the time spent waiting until I could get home and watch it with my Dad and brothers. And I did love it. Even though the reviews had been better, the voice in my head was still worried. But the space battles were cool and beautifully shot, there were lots of lightsabers, and everything ended in glorious melodrama. What does it say about me that my favourite scene was the montage of Jedi deaths? It was just so tragic and beautiful in a crazy way... The last scenes, with Padme's death and Vader's birth, then the paralleling shot of the two suns over Tatooine...I'm such a fangirl
So now what do I do with my life? Serenity isn't until October, as is Battlestar. There's F4 and WotW, but they're just not the same...
