Sometimes, it just takes me watching David Tennant and Billie Piper being ridiculously sweet next to each other in an in-vision commentary for Doomsday to get my spirits up to war against the haters and the fact that I'm very sort of nervous that you-know-who is coming back.
I'm not? Thank god, I did sort of feel like a horrible person for going "Blech, Rose back, do not want! Except I do want, a little, but I don't! I was dead at the time!" I also don't know what to say about the show not being fanfiction, but that's because the Doctor's Daughter really screams fanfiction to me, but I also know that isn't an opinion shared by many people, so I'll stop. I also agree with the happy ending thing, it's one of the main reasons I didn't want her coming back until like.. the end of the show, even if it was just the end of David's tenure as the Doctor, I'd still feel incredibly unhappy. I know that's sort of asinine and impossible, considering this show could go on for several decades, but hey, impossible is what we do. I think.
I guess I should know my lesson about happy endings in finales too, I mean, Joss Whedon kind of ruined me in that sense. I'm still not over Wes/Fred, and it's been about six years or something. I've no idea. I just know that it is PAIN. Er, sorry for comparing? I just had to get that out. I am in eternal agony over Wes/Fred.
Doomsday's never made me cry, but I understand what you mean. It's really just about their separation there, not what comes after and that's what makes it poignant and it's supposed to stay that way, whether Rose and the Doctor do get together and live happily ever after.
I ship them and I don't, it's very confusing. I like reading them on occasion, but I'll always come back to good ole Doc/Rose at the end, cause they make me feel warm inside. I also don't see why people don't like Reinette or River, I've seen a lot of criticism for River, but I really really loved her in FotD. I don't ship them in any shape or form, but she has a nice right hook.
lol. not that type of comparing. I meant the... well, mostly the "this is stupid because..." I've had a lot of that. One friend of mine in particular said that he liked FoTD so much that all the rest of the season was going to suck in comparison... sigh...
I didn't cry in Doomsday, either. Nothing ever makes me cry in shows- well, music can sometimes, but never at the times when the makers actually wanted me to cry. I've promised that if Donna sacrifices herself for the Doctor I would cry, though. (For instance, I was watching The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe today and I wanted to cry in the battle sequence before anyone had even died in it - I think I get emotional over loss of innocence, I'm not going to say what other silly things I've actually cried over.)
And Wes/Fred!!! *sobs* I only ever watched season 5 of Angel (hated Angel - the character's - guts).

And no problem! It was my goal. :)
