Be kind. Rewind.

I just finished Doctor Who, and I feel like a babbling idiot. I should not be crying this hard, yet I am. I should not be this emotionally entangled in a family fucking television program, yet I am. It such a foolish thing; it's so hard to admit. Russell T Davies made me cry and I know why. I don't want to know why.

Sometimes you just have to break out the GIFs to display how you feel.

i just woke up with my eyes hurting so bad from crying so hard last night. Ugh.

I need to re-watch it and watch the confidential and try to get some closure on this issue, but I agree with what you said... Donna was the companion i could relate most to. I saw a lot of myself in her. When he said "So, Donna, I'm going to head out..." "Uh, all right. See ya." THAT IS NOT A SUITABLE GOODBYE FOR THE MOST EPIC FRIENDSHIP EVER.

I'm never going to get over this.

I was looking forward to your comment.

Every time I see the name Donna, I want to start crying again. I am pretty sure this is my mind trying to say, "Stop reading doctorwho at work!" Alas, I cannot because I am hoping someone's meta post will cheer me up about the Donna situation. So far, no luck.

When I return home, I plan to watch the Confidental; I believe this will also make me cry, but -- damn -- I need the closure badly. Or like I said, some fierce ass Doctor!Donna/Ten AU fanfiction to make it better.

I miss Donna already. I will never get over her... I sound like a godawful Rose fan.

Re: I was looking forward to your comment.

[pwopah]

shhhhh we're still not as bad as the rose fans. The rose fans got their cheesy TOGETHER FOREVER ending and they're still bitching that ACTUAL!doctor didn't tell her he loved her.

Someone call the fucking waaahhhhhmmmmmbulance. At least Rose fucking remembers the doctor. At least she's allowed to think about him without fucking DYING.

STFU AND STFD.

Moffat better bring her back somehow.

I NEED more Donna Icons. Like, Immediately.

Hopefully, this signals the complete end of the Tale of Saint Rose, because really she wasn't all that great. Ahhhh, she was my least favorite thing about Doctor Who, and it isn't about hating the female characters. I enjoyed Jackie deeply.

Seriously, I am going to miss Jackie so much. I am too sad about losing that woman again. She's AMAZING.

DONNA ICONS?! I NEED MORE TOO.

[briebellamy]

OMG! Don't even get me started on what they did to Donna. Donna was my favourite companion and I feel so hurt by all of this. She didn't deserve that. Not at all. I was so mad at what was happening I wasn't even able to cry! That means I was REALLY mad.

[flowerings]

I totally agree. Donna was the best and most capable companion the Doctor had so far in Nu Who, and she doesn't even get to remember the times they shared. The final scene where Ten was soaked in rain before taking off in the TARDIS -- urgh -- was just so deeply emotional. Donna and Ten understood each other to a level that none of other companion can hope to reach. I wanted to yell "You fool, you are a fucking Time Lord! Can't you do a little Time Lord work and make her better without causing her head to go all explody?!"

They should be traveling together. Sigh.

Im trying to make light of it by saying that she had to have her mind wiped because she saw Nekkid!Ten. And no human mind can cope with that knowledge.

*sigh* Character assassinations of any kind piss me off. (ask me about how Forever Knight ended and you'll be treated to ranting and foaming at the mouth....12 years later) *chuckle*

I havent even gotten to the Donna episodes yet, and Im more in the Rose/Ten camp right now.......but I wonder how Im going to feel about Donna, knowing this is how her story ends (for now...Im wondering about the whole ring thing).

[flowerings]

You are going to adore Donna. She is really really super amazing. She has self esteem problems, but knowing her mother, who wouldn't have problems? Really though, if Donna wasn't around Ten wouldn't have got much work done in series 4. She figured out things wayyy before it crossed his mind. Sorry, but that's something Rose never did.

(OMG, I still think Ten/Rose is the world's worst relationship. They were so ~co-dependent~ on each other. Not healthy at all.)

[seishin]

Okay, I just watched this and now Im weeping like a stupid little bint. The look on Donna's face when she realizes what is about to happen, and the look on Ten's face when he does it??? And the line 'she will never be forgotten....but she can never remember'? Heartbreaking, and I dont even know her character!

But the ring was very obvious. And the fact that I dont think she was wearing it before she got retconned was telling. This isnt the last of Donna. She'll be back.

I also watched the last Rose bit. Im glad she got her happy ending, but am annoyed that Ten used that time while she was macking on Clone!Ten to run into the Tardis. You're not going to say 'I love you'? Fine, since your Clone (that sounds so weird) said it. At least say goodbye.

[haruhiism]

It feels horrible for me to think like this but...

I wish she had died, rather than lived on forgetting about the doctor. It seems so, so much crueler this way. FUCK, now I'm crying again. I hate this. BAAAAAAAAAW. This was not how I wanted the season to end. I feel... in a way betrayed.

I hope she gets her memories back, somehow.

And yeah, the Ten clone thing was... really weird. At least when it got to leaving him with Rose. I started out liking Nine/Rose back when I first started watching Doctor Who and now the pairing completely squicks me.

Man, I was going to write a post on this but you've said everything and no one else on my flist watches Doctor Who. WTF. I need more Doctor Who fandom friends.

[seishin]

Wait, so Clone!Ten is actually Nine??? In a clone of Ten's body????? (Im still catching up on New Who and only on S2)

*very confused*

[haruhiism]

Ack, no! I was just saying that I liked the pairing of Doctor/Rose back when Nine was still around, but not anymore...

But HAHA, now that would be strange. No, it's Ten. You should probably catch up first before you get way overly confused XD

[seishin]

*LOL*

I have zero will power when it comes to spoilers; so unfortunately Im very used to the dull headache reading ahead on the current episodes inflicts on my poor noggin. XD At least now with the big break in between I can finally get fully caught up.

I liked the platonic aspect of Nine/Rose...it seemed like a great father/daughter relationship. Any implied romance there is just squick worthy.
