DW finale (spoilers and rambling and...stuff)
I'm just apologising for not reading reaction posts to Journey's End yet.
Basically, the ending was more than I'd ever realistically hoped for and I am happy even with the sadness and I want to hang onto that. No doubt I will develop issues with it in time - but for now I am happy and squeeing and enchanted with this heartbreaking, wonderful new life for them and full of fic ideas, and if I look at a load of negativity, I may just burst into tears.
We just got handed a happily ever after with a ton more awesome because it's difficult and not perfect but that's what makes it so beautiful. And yes, I'm sad for brownsuit!Doctor but what else could we have expected? I thought Rose was going to walk away because the other universe "needed her" or something.
Please, please can't someone else just be happy with what we got?! I know it's not perfect, and yes, I wish brownsuit!Doctor had at least said goodbye, but I was blown away by the utter beauty and craziness of the whole thing. Just for a LITTLE while, can't we think about the human Doctor and Rose gradually and carefully falling love all over again rather than thinking about poor, poor Donna or sad Ten or whatever individual issues we might have?
Because being happy in Who is rare, and I want to hang onto it.
I will get around to it. I just dare not even venture into the shippy part of fandom at the moment.
P.S. I'm obviously not telling anyone to change their opinions or saying that they should keep negative ones to themselves. Just so you know. =) If you have issues, that's all good. And please do vent. I'm just not ready to read it yet.
