Her name was Rose.

I know I don't talk about Doctor Who very much here. This is not because I do not still adore the show (a habit of a lifetime is hard to break, after all) and Doctor/Rose. This is because I am so nervous about what lies ahead that I can barely bring myself to think about how this season is going to end, let along write meta ( Read more... )

ten/rose, doctor who, series four, doctor/rose

I definitely feel your apprehension. On the one hand, it's ROSE, how can I not be excited she's back?? On the other hand, I'm not sure I trust Uncle Rusty not to ruin the perfectness of "Doomsday" for no important narrative reason. I'm trying not to expect anything of her return and have been fairly successful at not thinking about it, due to Donna's awesomeness, but the odds of it being a letdown in some way seem so high.

Aww, but it's ROSE! She's my companion, and that Rose-Ten dynamic, as illustrated in that video, was so great. I really hope her return goes well, that would just make my televisual year.

I adore Donna too. She has made Season Four a joy to watch, and I do not want anything bad to happen to her. *worries*

On the other hand, I'm not sure I trust Uncle Rusty not to ruin the perfectness of "Doomsday" for no important narrative reason.

I'm flipping and flopping on this one. About the trust issue, that is, because I really have no idea how it's all going to end. As for Doomsday, while it may have been the perfect angsty ending to Rose's time with the Doctor, bringing her back does not invalidate it one little bit for me. I never wanted my last visual memory of Rose Tyler, that amazing woman (not a girl) doubled over with grief on a lonely beach, and her return is almost as much a thrill as Sara Tancredi's head still being attached to her shoulders. *g*

I know how you feel - I had total anxiety over BSG eps a little while back, and damn, how I wanted to jump forward in time and just get seen already, dammit.

I also do worry how the DW thing will go. Oi, I worry. But you're welcome for drinks in the bar whatever happens.

msgenevieve June 12 2008, 13:33:21 UTC

I haven't caught up with BSG (I'm hoarding the last couple of eps to watch in a marathon on the weekend) but I am spoiled and yeah. How long is this hiatus, exactly?

But you're welcome for drinks in the bar whatever happens.

Thank you, my dear. :)

Until 2009. ARGH. Damn their evil ways and just when it was getting extremely interesting too. ARGH.

I'm going to have an open bar. Because fandom is going to need it.

msgenevieve June 12 2008, 13:46:40 UTC

I'm all for the open bar, as long as fandom remembers to enjoy alcohol in moderation, drink responsibly, and that one punch can kill*.

*RL public service announcements from down here. ;)

oh, my. ::flails:: that's a gorgeous vid. do you know the music she chose? 'cos frankly, the song is so lovely, it even managed to distract me from the gorgeous Doctor/Rose!

I don't know what to tell you about Rose's return. With BSG, as much as I'm dreadingandanticipating the next eps (a YEAR! THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WAIT A YEAR GEN!::cries::), I have a great deal of trust in the production team to do this Right (even if my ship has, apparently, sailed off the edge of the earth ::cries more::)

But Rusty.... ah, hell, girl, I DON'T trust him to do this right. I'm wavering over whether it will be Perfect, or Sappy, or just Not Right. I've loved the little touches of Rose we've seen the past few eps. I just wish I could be certain that Rusty will handle this properly.

msgenevieve June 13 2008, 11:42:50 UTC

I think it's, uh, Everesance? I have spelled that wrong, I know it. I'll go see if I can find the name of it.

Have you seen the mid-series trailer? The latest one that has Rose in it for real?

delle June 15 2008, 16:21:26 UTC

It's a song called Missing and it's by Evanescence. It's a bit hard to find on CD--could only track it down to a live album CD/DVD they released (though it is the same studio version of the song on there: it's on the CD and is used during the closing credits on the concert DVD.) But I'm sure you could prolly find a download of it somewhere.

Hi delle, hi Gen!

I'm mostly apprehensive about the end of this series. There has been nothing to indicate that Rose is back for an extended stay and I don't see myself satisfied with anything less. I'd rather enjoy my fanfic world of reunion fics and Rose getting forever with her Doctor than deal with Rose returning only to be taken away again. *sigh*

Gorgeous video.

msgenevieve June 13 2008, 12:32:44 UTC

I know what you mean about finding comfort in fanfic.

So, is it next year that they're taking a break and only doing three specials?

Right, with a full series in 2010.

Hmmmmmm.

I'm pretty sure I have had Doctor Who induced nightmares. I'm sooo nervous because, while I don't really think Doomsday was a fair ending for their story at ALL, I am so frightened that RTD will mess it all up. Sigh.

msgenevieve June 13 2008, 12:32:04 UTC

*pats you*

I'm hiding out in the Prison Break fandom but yeah, I love Rose Tyler and I love them together (not without shipping them, the mere sight of them together makes me smile from ear to ear) and Doomsday is not how I want to remember Rose. I want to *know* she has a happy ending, even if it's not with the Doctor, because damn it, I think she deserves one.
