Final Bit Of DW Stuffage...

Journey's End

(aka)

Timelords As Chickenshit Cowards Who Can't Say Goodbye.

Grr...

Okay, I should admit that I loved the episode, in a way, but it simultaneously pissed me off. More when I've untangled it from some bad shit that occurred in my dreams last night, coincidentally enough.

PS - yeah, way to dump the clingy girlfriend: clone yourself...

Indeed, handing Rose a mini!Doctor (or whatever) nicely undermines whatever work she might have been doing in that parallel 'verse (in, as you say, that 'as there's no Doctor, it's going to be me' sort of way).

"Good job, Rose, in helping save the universes but, gosh, you'd do a MUCH better job if you had a faux-Doctor with you (because you're, y'know, *just* a companion and a girly one at that and everyone knows that widdle girls can't do things on their own)..." and, okay, I'm *really* exagerrating there, to make the point. But you know what I mean, right?

Leaving Rose on her own in the parallel 'verse, knowing that she would continue fighting the good fight as needed would have left me with a much better opinion of matters - and of Rose.

But, hey, kudos to her for breaching the universal-barrier because she was trying to save countless worlds, not because she wanted to be with her One Twue Wuv again - although it can't be denied that being with him probably helped motivate things just a tad. Imagine what it would have been like had she gone to all that effort - and found out that he had (properly) regenerated in the meantime. "Oh. You've... um... Never mind."

Yes! I don't even mind the whole Hand!Doctor aspect of it either. Even he didn't get a choice in the matter! "Fix him"? Right, because the Time Lord!Doctor is such a picture of health. *rolls eyes* Absolutely picture-perfect when the last shot of him for the season is sitting in his TARDIS alone... a TARDIS that had been FILLED with his friends/family only a little while before... in a soaking wet shirt and looking as though he's about to off himself. I'm getting a little tired of the Lonely God-ness.

I just wanted proper closure. I wanted the Doctor to say "good-bye", but as you said, he's too much of a chicken-shit. You can never tell the future with this show, but as Rose got two "endings", I don't think she's going to show up again. So I'm still sort of left here feeling empty with her story when it started out so awesome.

Indeed, Rose's story was amazing... at first.

Drat.

Oh well, no-one can make all of the fans happy all of the time. I keep that in mind when I get a bit overwrought about it all. ;)
