However good or bad these final episodes are, I'll miss the doctor.
I'm not sure how many of my friends still watch Doctor Who-- I feel as if many whom I started watching the show with no longer watch, having found many faults with either Tennant or the writers or the plots (I can admit that there were problems here and there, but not that deterred my love for the show). I can only say that personally I'm going to miss Tennant. I watched the first two or three seasons of Doctor Who practically within the space of a month in hopes of catching up to watch season 4 (or was it season 3? I can barely remember) with the rest of the world, and so my falling into doctor who was a whirlwind. I loved Eccleston as the 9th doctor, and it was him who first drew me in and set the tone for me, but I think because I was watching the series so fast, Tennant still almost feels more like my first doctor. Between the two of them, I fell in love with the tv show (and still need to watch more original Doctor Who). Losing the tenth doctor is going to be difficult for me, and it's something I've been trying to pretend won't happen even though it's been the plot of this last season. I'm nervous and hesitant about the new doctor, but I'm willing to give it a go when it happens. I know that it will be hard, though. I sometimes wish Tennant had been given more to work with, because I hold him in high respects, and wish that this last season hadn't been so sparse. I know he took the character in a very different way than previous doctors, in many respects, and that this was a mixed thing for many, but in the end I just loved him in the role and have loved this show.
I am finishing up the first part of the finale, and waiting for part 2 to finally be fully uploaded online so I can watch it here in the states. I'm not quite looking forward to it, but I *am* excited to see what the future will bring. No matter how good OR bad these next episodes are, I'll be really sad to know that watching part 2 will mean watching the doctor I've been with for four years die. Watching the 9th doctor die was terrible and we'd only been with him for one season, but of course Eccleston was awesome. Annnnywho. There was no point to this entry except to lament how much I'm going to miss DAvid Tennant and how I'm probably going to blubber during the end of this show like a kid.
So no spoilers! Just felt I should get some sentiments out before I embark on the emotional process of watching part two of End of Time.
