Before the end, a moment of thanks

I'm a few hours from watching the last episode of Doctor Who: The End of Time.

This is the last time we'll see a new episode with David Tennant as the Doctor; it's also the last time we'll have Russell T Davies at the helm.

As my friend jblum suggests, it's a good time to say thank you. So while this is partly directed toward Russell, it's also

distracted, sexy, heartfelt madness

I declare 2010 to be the Year of the Beautiful Mess. They need celebrating.

Sounds like a Vorlon term: "return to me at the Hour of Scampering in the Year of the Beautiful Mess..."

Thank you, Russell, for writing a novel featuring the Doctor a decade ago; thanks for putting a gay Doctor Who fan in a little show that got a ton of attention. Thank you for convincing the BBC that this madcap old racehorse had life left in. Thank you for being the driving force behind the regeneration of one of my favorite things in the universe.

and "thank you" for posting this ode to RTD and his fellow former DW associates.

Thanks for choosing exactly the right people to make it work -- for Chris and for David, for Billie and John and Noel and Camille, for Catherine and Freema and Kylie. Thanks for Derek Jacobi and John Simm.
