My take of the Season Finale of Doctor Who
The season finale of DW was seismic is scale, from Pete/Jackie silliness to the Cybersized Torchwood chick giving the Doc and co. some time to complete their plans.
Now let's talk about Rose and the Doctor, HOLLY CRAP!!!!! In all the 28 seasons of DW I have never heard such anguish from the Doctor. I still can't get DT's screams out of my head. The look between the Doctor and Rose when Pete (Go Dad!!) caught her was heart breaking. Now that is what I call a "Hail Mary" catch.
Later, on the beach when the Doctor and Rose are saying their final goodbyes (he harnessed the power of a Supernova for that transmission) the love between the Doctor and Rose was made cannon. She had the gumption to state her feelings for him and he stated it back, even if he was cut off. A man/alien like him doesn't cry like that if they don't love the other person. Got a kick out of the verbal exchange when he thought she was preggers instead of Jackie it was very plain he was okay with the idea. Which made me think they have been "dancing," since at least "The Idiot's Lantern," and didn't mind if that was the situation.
I am miffed that we did not see when Rose remembered her deeds as Bad Wolf. Now that might have kicked the more intimate aspect of their relationship off, also. I mean she remembered he gave his "life" for her, what more of a declaration of love can a girl get from her guy.
Catherine Tate's appearance at the end of the episode was an absolutely necessary comic relief moment. I was laughing through the tears at the ridiculous look on DT's face and his inability to say anything other than "What."
All in all it was a great season/series finale. Bring on "The Runaway Bride" as I am curious about what is going on.
