OKAY PEOPLE*, JUST FOR THE RECORD:
*eyes
aj and
grenadine*
I WAS NOT DRINKING (that was yesterday) AND INSTEAD IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY TWELVE MONTHS FOR ME TO SUCCESSFULLY DOWNLOAD THIS EPISODE. It was kind of like the universe was like, "Oh, so you watched that one 4x12 scene how many times? And the whole episode HOW many times? LOLOL HERE YOU GO, HAVE THE WORLD'S SHITTIEST INTERNET CONNECTION AS YOUR GIFT FROM US."
Just. You know. Making that clear.
NOW THAT WE HAVE CLEARED THAT UP.
Here. We. Go.
SO THEY GO AND GIVE ME ROSE AND TEN LITERALLY MAKING OUT ON A BEACH AFTER HE WHISPERS "I LOVE YOU" IN HER EAR
AND DONNA LITERALLY BECOMING THE DOCTORDONNA, AND I THINK, "FUCK ME YOU GUYS THIS IS THE BEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN"
AND JACK, LIKE, TWICE OR POSSIBLY THREE TIMES REFERENCING HOW HE WAS IMAGINING THREEWAYS (AT LEAST) WITH THE TWO DOCTORS
OH AND I SHOULD MENTION HOW MY AND
grenadine'S THEORY ABOUT THE TWO HEARTBEATS WAS COMPLETELY FUCKING TRUE (shut up, okay, if you squint and look at it sideways, it absolutely is)
You consider all of that.
AND THEN YOU GO AND FUCKING BREAK MY HEART, RUSTY T DAVIES, BY MAKING THAT ONE SPOILER I READ WAY BACK ABOUT DONNA'S MEMORY GETTING WIPED TRUE IN THE ABSOLUTE WORST SENSE (that sense being the Doctor taking away the one good thing in Donna's life) AND FUCKING JUST STOMPING ALL OVER MY HEART
OH
NO
YOU
DID NOT
Rusty, do you know what you're robbing me of right about now? Do you really want to know? DALEKS SPEAKING FUCKING GERMAN. Daleks - in Germany - saying EXTERMINEMEN.
You are also robbing me of: the Doctor basically scooting the half-Doctor (the other Doctor? the second Doctor? the second Doctordonna? oh god, DONNA OKAY NO I WON'T LET THAT SEEP INTO HERE, TOO) into Rose's world with a little wink and a "GO OFF, GET A MORTGAGE TOGETHER, HAVE SOME BABIES, DO ALL THAT SHIT I HAVE SEVERE ISSUES WITH."
The TARDIS towed the Earth back to its rightful spot like a proper tugboat! With all of its captains! And the Other Doctor and Donna walking around, sitting back, proud of what they had accomplished! THERE WAS HUGGING. There was HAPPINESS. Mickey on Earth! Jackie punking the Doctor by pretending she'd named her son "Doctor"! MICKEY AND MARTHA POSSIBLY ON TORCHWOOD NEXT YEAR?!
YOU GUYS, GWEN COOPER IS CANONICALLY RELATED TO GWENYTH FROM "THE UNQUIET DEAD" AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY THE ONE SINGLE THING I EVER WANTED TO BE TRUE BUT NEVER ACTUALLY EXPECTED TO EVER GET BEYOND MY FANON. And I just - I absolutely, positively loved that they went there. And that the Doctor recognized ("recognized") her.
Ugh. UGH. Everything I wanted this episode to be - literally, every FUCKING thing right down to JACK FANTASIZING ABOUT THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR, was in this episode.
SO THEN THE LAST TEN MINUTES HAPPENED.
YOU GUYS, THE KEYWORDS FOR THIS ICON IS "DOCTORDONNA." I THINK I MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE, WELL, LET'S FACE IT, THAT WORD IS BASICALLY THE SADDEST THING I'VE EVER READ RIGHT NOW.
"Brother and sister, then? Ah, yes, you look so much alike." "...Really?" BECAUSE TOGETHER, THEY HAVE A SORT OF CHILD AND HIS NAME IS DOCTORDONNA.
Actually, wait.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAIT A SECOND HERE. Let's think about this.
All of fandom was terrified of one thing - Doctor/Rose tiembabies!!!1 And halfway through this season, we got "The Doctor's Daughter," in which Jenny - the Doctor's daughter, natch - is created parthenogenetically from the Doctor's.... wait for it, FROM CELLS EXTRACTED FROM HIS MOTHERFUCKING RIGHT HAND. The same hand that - WAIT FOR IT - creates the Doctordonna and Donna's half-Time Lord self.
IT'S ALMOST AS IF, LIKE, JENNY, THE DOCTOR AND DONNA HAVE HAD A SORT OF CHILD. They were metaphorically married with the bio-damper ring in "The Runaway Bride," the whole entire universe thinks they're married, Donna meets (quite a few) of his ex-girlfriends, THEY HAVE A KID, and now they're divorced.
(Oh my god they're divorced. Oh my God DONNA NOBLE. Oh my God.)
I can't think about this right now.
Yeah, so I'm - I'm - I'm going to go into this corner here and think about things where Other Doctor is all, "Rose, let me enumerate all the ways that I'm almost the same person you left" BUT OF A SEXUAL NATURE.
Ugh.
UGH.
grenadine, if we were in the same room, I think you could have heard our collective sobbing.
lol, looks like there's going to be quite a lot of WHAT IN THE WHO in Rose's world, from where I'm looking at things. OH THAT'S RIGHT. I WENT THERE. YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS, YEAH.
(Oh, god, Donna.)
David Morrisey in this next Christmas special = probably one of the greatest things of all time. HE AND DAVID WILL HAVE SING-A-LONGS IN THE INEVITABLE CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR VIDEO DIARY, Y/Y?
edit: OMG YOU GUYS.
HE ONLY HAS ONE HEART NOW, AND IT'S FOR ROSE TYLER IF SHE WILL ACCEPT IT. There - there you go.
(UGH.)
