THERE REALLY IS A BEACH REDUX? I'M SICK OF BEACHES. AND I WAS RATHER ENJOYING ROSE, TOO. GAH.
BUT I'M NOT THERE YET. DAVROS EX MACHINA JUST ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTION TO DESTROY "REALITY ITSELF." DAMN IT, RUSSELL, WHEN YOU'RE ORCHESTRATING ALL THESE EPIC EV0LS, WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU REMEMBER THAT THEY NEED A SENSICAL MOTIVE TO FECKING WORK?
Re ETA 3: Seriously, I don't understand why there are any number of shippers who think this is a good ending for Doctor/Rose. She's still needy and clingy enough after several years to have hunted him down instead of living the fantastic life he always wanted her to have. He's still emotionally detached and oblivious enough to fob his double off on her as if he were the real thing. And if Spare Ten really is the same as the real thing, then how exactly does making him half-human mean that he automatically loses all the traits that make Real Ten a crappy boyfriend -- his recklessness; his attraction to the nearest blonde; his inability to hold down a real job; the wanderlust he's going to have starting, oh, about ten minutes after they leave the beach?
Never mind all that. He practically demanded that she cure his broken self all over again. I am not particularly attached to Rose, but that still left me royally pissed. AND THEN SHE WENT ALONG WITH IT? Ten I suppose I recognize, but what the hell have they done with Rose?

I, too, was disappointed when nothing other than him entered the equation for her on the beach, but I didn't gather that her hunt for him had started the minute after she first left the beach, or that it had ever been about a personal reunion. Hunting down the Doctor is a pretty reasonable thing to do if the universe is collapsing and you don't know any other experts in that field.
Apparently she accidentally found a universal disaster after already starting to try to break down universal walls for him? I'm still telling myself they didn't start trying to find him until after shit started to happen, so they could use him for help, and she figured while she was at it she could try to reunite wif her lurve.

I refuse to believe that any of the Doctor's 5.63 billion best friends would do that. There is nothing RTD can do to convince me of it, either, up to and including filming it.
Gold has done some nifty things. But, oh, when he's bad, he is rancid. Cheesy choral numbers are just such a cheap way to signpost "BIG 'N' EPIC!!!!" when the storyline has shit to deliver; it pissed me off massively in Evolution of the Pepperpots and Last of the Camp Lords, too, but there was less of it. Cheapness in scoring can get my goat in a way that no quantity of eye-roll-inducing writing can.
*spares you more ranting*
I CAN'T BELIEVE WILF NEVER GOT TO TRAVEL! =(
I CHOOSE T BELIEVE THAT HE PULLED A FAST RETURN A LA ROSE.
The thing is, the choral theme was stolen from "The Parting of the Ways". At least then the "giant swarm of Daleks" thing was new and felt a bit epic, but at this point "swarm of evil space thingies for the finale" isn't exactly a novelty anymore, is it?
He's never been this shockingly bad before. I mean, not so many spots of shocking badness so close together, anyway. I dunno, maybe there were exigent circumstances, but I actually missed whole chunks of dialogue because I muted the music. BACK AWAY FROM THE CHORISTERS, MURRAY.

OR MAYBE MY OBJECTION'S NOT REALLY THAT DEEP. MAYBE IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE REALLY, REALLY ANNOYING CHORAL MUSIC.
ETA: OMG, HE JUST EXCLAIMED MICKEY'S NAME WITH GREAT RELISH. I WILL NOW SHIP THEM.
