This Episode Also Provided Convoluted Evidence That I Am Awesome.
DEAR BBC: DON'T YOU DARE BACK OUT OF THIS. IF YOU SAY 'HE'S REGENERATING!' AND THEN GO 'OH, WAIT, DID WE SAY "REGENERATING"? WE MEANT THAT HE'S USING JUST ENOUGH REGENERATION ENERGY TO REPAIR HIS INJURY WITHOUT ACTUALLY ALTERING HIS APPEARANCE', IT WILL JUST BE THE MOST RUBBISH THING EVER. I am not saying this out of a dislike for the Tenth Doctor, around to whom I did eventually come (ahahaha, this is why we shouldn't force English to abide by Latin grammatical rules); I am saying it out of a love of good storytelling.
PEOPLE THE DOCTOR IS ALLOWED TO REGENERATE INTO:
- John Simm. I don't care that the whole Master thing would be hellishly confusing; John Simm would be a fantastic Doctor.
- Philip Glenister. And then they should bring back John Simm as the Master and stand back as the Life on Mars fans' brains explode.
- A woman. Any woman. It would be amazing, and the Internet would spontaneously (and hilariously!) catch fire.
- ACTUALLY, A SPECIFIC WOMAN: CATHERINE TATE. AND THEN THE DOCTOR SHOULD CONTINUE TRAVELLING WITH DONNA. IT WOULD BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND BEWILDERING THING IN THE WORLD.
- Sam Winchester. Not Jared Padalecki (although he would also be acceptable); Sam Winchester.
- Or Jensen Ackles, because he's got the Doctor's deep-angst look down.
- Or Christopher Eccleston. Again.
Also, I want Jack to snog Rose, Martha, Donna, Sarah-Jane, the Doctor, Sam Winchester and anything else that gets in his way in the final episode. I'd settle for just Donna, though.
EDIT: ALSO ALSO I STILL LOVE ROSE. WAS HER ACCENT ALWAYS THAT EXAGGERATED? I DON'T CARE; I LOVE HER. AND DONNA'S GRANDFATHER IS WONDERFUL. COME TO THINK OF IT, HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT DOCTOR.
