So, I finished Doctor Who, the new version, season 2.
I am just so... absolutely devistated. I know that when the first season ended, or rather, when I accidentally found out the Ninth Doctor was going to leave, it haunted me all day, I was so upset and I could only tell Izzy, because the rest of the group hadn't finished the first season and Izzy just doesn't care about the show anyway. I mean, she comforted me, and I wasn't on medication yet so it was even worse, but still.
I can't imagine the show without Billie Piper. I just can't. I'm sure it will keep going, and hopefully, I'll love whatever comes next too, but at this point in time, I can't imagine how.
One of the people who worked on the show... the scriptwriter for the last episode, I think, during the Doctor Who Confidential, said Billie Piper, Rose Tyler, deserved the best damn exit that she could possibly have, a war in heaven between bronze and silver gods. And that putting her in another universe was the only way to seperate her from the Doctor, because she would stay in the TARDIS until the day she died, and only being so completely seperate could possibly keep her away from him. (And also that they totally don't kill main characters in the show, because it's supposed to be about optimism and survival, so actual death wasn't an option.)
And someone else mentioned, while they did this nice little montage of moments between the Doctor and Rose, that they were just completely, unreservedly in love. They were.
It hurts right now. Hopefully, it'll feel better later. I'll have to wait until fall to see Jack, and Christmas to see the Doctor.
Putting her so far away, she may as well have been dead. That's the point, I guess.
I will continue to hope that something odd happens and she comes back to the show, even if it just means I'll have to be brokenhearted when she leaves again. I will miss Mickey too, actually. He got very cool.
Meanwhile, spoilery quotes, some that I love because the Daleks talking down to the Cybermen makes me gleeful:
Cyberman: Our species are similar, though your design is inelegant.
Dalek: Daleks have no concept of elegance.
Cyberman: This is obvious.
Cyberman: Daleks, be warned: you have declared war upon the Cybermen.
Dalek: This is not war; this is pest control.
Cyberman: We have five million cybermen. How many are you?
Dalek: Four.
Cyberman: You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?
Dalek: We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek. You are superior in only one respect.
Cyberman: What is that?
Dalek: You are better at dying.
Rose: You really want to know? He's the Doctor.
*The Daleks back up a bit.*
Rose: Five million cybermen, easy. One Doctor? Now you're scared.
"Some things are worth getting your heart broken for." --Sarah Jane Parker, 'Doctor Who'
And one non-spoilery quote from ep 12:
Rose: Doctor, they've got guns.
Tenth: And I haven't, which makes me the better person, don't you think? They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine.
Um, also. It is absolutely impossible for David Tennant to not be sexy. It's the first time I got to watch a Doctor Who Confidential, so I got to hear his real accent, and... I am so in love with him. From, you know, a non-real love standpoint. But really.
In the meantime, I'll do my best and look forward to new episodes of SG-1, SG: A, and Avatar this Friday. I may hold off on Avatar and watch the rerun on Saturday so I leave something for a bit later.
