bubbles83I watched Journey's End last night after I got home from work, but was too tired to write anything up. I also haven't really checked my flist to see what your opinions have been. I've just looked at a couple. So here are my pluses and minuses. In the order I think of them.
+ German Daleks
+ Tosh saving Gwen and Ianto. FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE. That's my Toshiko.
+ The companions flying the TARDIS was awesomely awesome. I loved having canon proofs that it supposed to have so many people to fly it. And the hugging. Wait, that should have it's own plus sign.
+ The HUGGING. I loved the Rose/Martha hug and the Doctor/Sarah Jane one.
+ Martha and Rose got along! I was so worried there would be cattiness, and there was none. That was very pleasing.
+ Jack and Martha walking off, holding hands. I really really love their relationship.
+ Martha and Mickey on Torchwood (possibly). I'm cautiously optimistic about it. I love both characters more than is strictly healthy for a person, so I'm glad they might be around. Then again, they're going to be on Torchwood, so who knows how that will turn out.
+ I LOVED DoctorDonna. Loved. I loved how Catherine Tate played it. I loved Donna's glee at it. I loved it. It warmed the cockles of my heart.
+ I liked that Clone!Doctor is half Time Lord, half Donna. I'll get into the stuff is I didn't like about Clone!Doctor below, but the thought that Rose is with some dude who's half Donna? That cracks my shit up.
+ K-9! I fucking love K-9. I didn't know he was going to show up at all.
+ Wilf. Wilf is the man. I love him like Ianto loves pie. He's my hero.
- Way to be a douche to Jackie, Ten. God. It's things like that that make me wish you'd regenerate.
- I'm pretty sure Jack should have been all over Donna, and he wasn't. WTF, Davies.
- This might be sort of unpopular on my flist, but Rose/Clone!Ten creeps me the fuck out. First of all, for some reason Clone!Ten never really seemed like the Doctor to me. Most of the time when I watch the show, I just see the Doctor. But with Clone!Ten I was very aware of the fact that it was David Tennant playing the Doctor. If that makes sense. I don't know why that was, but it weirded me out. B) Clone!Ten has the mind and memories of the Doctor, but in a human body. A frail human body that will age and die. He's stranded on Earth again, with no (immediate) way to go traveling through time and space. He's got to be heading for a pretty serious depression. C) There's more, I'm just not entirely sure how to put it into words. It's this sort of guy level feeling of ickiness I'm not sure how to describe. I don't know if Rusty was going for a They Live Happily Ever After ending, but (for me at least) he totally missed.
- Donna getting mindwiped gets a big FUCK NO from me. It was horrible and gross and I've never cried so hard at an episode of Doctor Who.
? So does this mean they UNcanonified half-human Doctor (depending on whether you considered the movie canon)? Or was just Eight half-human for some reason?
? Did anyone ever explain to Rose why Jack could come back from the dead?
I think I had more negatives I wanted to talk about, but I've had this up since about 8:00, and I just kind of want to post it now. I'm sure I'll post other thoughts if I have them.
In non-Doctor Who news, my ear hasn't really bothered me today. I'm still going to go to the Doctor to have them check it out though. I'd hate to go to Vegas with an ear infection.
