LOL I'm beginning to see that people either love Doomsday or they hate it. In my case, I love the angst, and I appreciate things that make me feel. Doesn't mean I'm completely happy with the way things turned out, but I can acknowledge that it was so great writing and television. And also, the acting in Doomsday from both Billie and David was incredible. I think that's part of why it rips my heart out so much. They both nailed the emotion and I love them all the more for it.

well, I was lucky because they always were broadcasted by the same channel(it's also the same one that introduced me to DW more than 3 years ago), only time changed but it was still suitable for me to watch so I watched it as much as they were shown and never got bored of re-runs*g* I don't think official DVDs of Charmed were ever produced here, only ones by pirates *gg* I watched it always on TV because I hadn't unlimited Internet to download at the time so it was always maddening to wait until every new season was translated, especially if there was a cliffhanger in the end of previous season, imagine how it was that I had to wait more than a year between season 3 and 4, it was the most aweful cliff in Charmed ever(well, and practically the only one *g*)and they broadcasted seasons 1-3 twice of thrice before season 4 aired, teases*grr*
And it was a bit of a miracle since they almost cancelled the show after Season 7.
Yeah, I remember that, I didn't like the ending of season 7 at all, it's much better in end of season 8))
My favourite sister was Piper. I love her
I KNEW IT *g* Mine, too)) I remember times when everyone around loved Prue the most, and then Pheobe, but I was always prone to love Piper the most)) I loved them all, of course, they became like part of the family for me so much I was used to them, but if I'm not mistaken Leo once said that she was the heart of the family))and her love story with Leo was like the anchor for me all this time, standing point, that happy endings exist on TV shows *gg* but i remember that I watched Charmed really not because of pairings but because of dinamics between sisters, I really loved their connection and relationship, Power of Three indeed=)
I haven't watched Charmed for almost three years now but they are still like etched on me(I have a great collection of stickers, books, articles from magazins and even some posters still hang on my walls(it's better than white boring wallpapers after all *gg*)
I'm beginning to see that people either love Doomsday or they hate it.
most of the time I just pretend it doesn't exist :P
I love the angst, and I appreciate things that make me feel.
I love thing that make me happy, not sad, because real life is not a paradise in itself so I don't want for fiction to make me even less happy, and I plainly love happy-endings (one of the major things I love about Jane Austen books))
but I can acknowledge that it was so great writing and television.
and I see it as written to make us all cry on purpose and I hate that, it usually makes me angry, not teary-eyed, If someone tries to make me do something I may just do the contrary instead :P and I know that RTD writes things to make us teary-eyed on purpose, I'll never forget his evil cackling when he said that there wouldn't be a dry eye(or something like that) after Ten's finale.
And also, the acting in Doomsday from both Billie and David was incredible.
Yes, that's indisputable, no wonder they both received their awards after that, I think it's the only reason why I cried, because I love The Doctor and Rose together the most as portrayed by Billie and David, and they genuinly feel for their characters, I remember David sitting with very grim expression while Billie was filming her last scene in DD and then he went out the van and hugged her tight because she was really crying<333
and it's just thing about David, I always feel for his characters(it never happened before), he's just too good in acting angst *g* I still like happy Doctor from season 2 much more but I always want to hug him when he's sad *g*

imagine how it was that I had to wait more than a year between season 3 and 4, it was the most aweful cliff in Charmed ever(well, and practically the only one *g*)and they broadcasted seasons 1-3 twice of thrice before season 4 aired, teases*grr* OMG that would be awful. I'm so sorry you had to wait so long.
Yeah, I remember that, I didn't like the ending of season 7 at all, it's much better in end of season 8)) Totally. The Season 7 ending was a bit of a cop out. I'm so glad they were able to overcome that and come up with a great final season and a satisfying finale.
I KNEW IT *g* Mine, too) She was just SO likable. It's hard not to adore her.
i remember that I watched Charmed really not because of pairings but because of dinamics between sisters, I really loved their connection and relationship, Power of Three indeed=) Yes, that's part of why I liked it as well. And I liked that they didn't always get along either. It made for a more interesting show. And that amid all the supernatural stuff the most important thing was their sisters. It was great.
I love thing that make me happy, not sad, because real life is not a paradise in itself so I don't want for fiction to make me even less happy, and I plainly love happy-endings (one of the major things I love about Jane Austen books)) Oh, I LOVE Happy endings. I'm a hopeless romantic and I can be very idealistic at times, but I don't mind some angst along the way as long as it makes sense. And if it's going to be angsty I want it to be good and really make me feel. :) I am always optimistic though that in the end there will be a happy ending.
I know that RTD writes things to make us teary-eyed on purpose, I'll never forget his evil cackling when he said that there wouldn't be a dry eye(or something like that) after Ten's finale. True. Although as a writer myself I can kind of understand. Whenever I write something that I personally find emotional, I hope that my readers will feel the same way. I guess you could say I want them to cry - not because I'm mean and I want them to feel badly, but because it means that I've done my job as a writer well and I've touched an emotional chord with my readers.
Yes, that's indisputable, no wonder they both received their awards after that, I think it's the only reason why I cried, because I love The Doctor and Rose together the most as portrayed by Billie and David, and they genuinly feel for their characters, Yes, That's part of what makes them both so brilliant. And to think that they filmed all that in the middle of their shoot. Then they had to go back and film the rest of the season. That must have been so difficult after being so emotional.
I remember David sitting with very grim expression while Billie was filming her last scene in DD and then he went out the van and hugged her tight because she was really crying<333 I love that clip. It's so sad and so touching and I love that they both feel so strongly about the characters they're portraying.
I still like happy Doctor from season 2 much more but I always want to hug him when he's sad *g* That's the thing about the Doctor. He's this great mix of giddy happiness and silliness and extreme lonliness and sadness. At the end of the day, he's always going to be left standing alone. That said, I think season 2 shows him at one of his truly happiest moments. He's far enough removed from the time war that it's not a huge shadow over him anymore and he's travelling with a woman that he loves and adores. Which of course, makes Doomsday all the more heartbreaking *sob*

Yeah, I've read that Aaron Spelling's first idea was just a show about three sisters and their relationships, he thought of adding some magic in the mis later, and it worked :D
I'm a hopeless romantic and I can be very idealistic at times
I'm actually quite cynical, especially when it comes to real life, but I don't mind a bit of romance thrown in the mix, it just has to be with a bit of humour and not "soap-opera"like, when it comes to Ten/Rose their cute mostly reduces me to awwing and melting and wanting more fluff(but in-character, I always sense when the author exaggerated and it doesn't sit well with me), they are special like that :D
And if it's going to be angsty I want it to be good and really make me feel. :) I am always optimistic though that in the end there will be a happy ending.
I can bear almost any angst if there surely is a happy ending, but if there's no one, it means that it is a pointless angst for the sake of angst just to make ME cry and It makes me angry and frustrated instead :D
guess you could say I want them to cry - not because I'm mean and I want them to feel badly, but because it means that I've done my job as a writer well and I've touched an emotional chord with my readers.
It's still mean ;D You could always make the readers feel for the characters
without making them cry;) I never cry on fic when many people are supposed to, I teared up only once and it was from the overwelming happy I felt while reading absolutely beautiful and sweet ending and HAPPY, of course, I was just really bursting with feeling and a bit soaring *gg* You see, I never do what people wait for me to do :DDD
That must have been so difficult after being so emotional.
They both cried when they finished their shooting, imagine in what state they'd be if they were shooting Doomsday that day...
Which of course, makes Doomsday all the more heartbreaking
and that's why I absolutely hate it and it never happened *lalala* They've taken away Doctor's last bit of happiness, that is unforgivable.
