Having seen Doctor Who, how am I supposed to go to bed now?
It's not that the ep was scary, as such, it was just so incredibly intense that my heart is pumping and I'm all adrenaline-filled and I don't think I can sleep.
I mean, holy fuck, they killed everyone, and even in an AU, that's a pretty awesome-horrible thing to do. And Donna was so touching and brave and wonderful and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And ouch, that scene when the Santo family is taken away, and Bernard Cribbins just acting his heart out, ouch ouch OUCH.
I usually have a soft spot for Wonderful Life kind of eps, but most of them are kind of crap. This one really sold me on the concept of the world going to shit. I was seriously worried that the cliffhanger might come before Donna was returned to her own world, and so very relieved that it didn't. Not to mention how squee-worthy I found the trailer, what with the name-dropping of "everybody dies" being one-upped with EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE THERE, YAY!
I wrote quite a bit of fic today, and in a way I'm grateful that it's going to be so very thoroughly jossed, because when a fic is a little bit jossed I have this impulse to salvage it by twistingit round to fit canon (no matter how muddled the result), but in this case I'll feel perfectly justified to slap a label on it stating that it only follows canon up until "Midnight".
And, uh, people who clicked this cut hoping for some sane analysis of the ep, sorry I couldn't oblige, but I'm still in OMG mode and just trying to unwind before I go to bed.
