One month on.
So I read general plot spoilers for the upcoming DW Christmas episode on someone on my flist's journal, but for the life of me I can't find it back. (The dangers of trying to catch up after a weekend.)
Those that want to hang on to the notion that I still have a thread of sanity left may want to skip.
So if I remember correctly, it was said the Christmas episode will be a mixture of "It's a Wonderful Life," "The Christmas Carol" and something else, I think. And rumor of Sarah Jane returning? Or maybe some sort of flashback? Not sure.
So if you've been looking at all in my direction in the last month or so, you might have gathered some sort of cynicism from me in relation to future Doctor Who episodes. And it's in this cynical nature that I've already formulated opinions about the Christmas episode. Fucking insane, remember?
So when I see the titles from above, my mind instantly thinks: Well, great. The Doctor's going to go through some sort of thing where he realizes that everyone is better for having met him. And so he'll get to deal and move on from Rose, which is what I suppose the show needs to go forward. Happy rainbows for all!
Well, except for Rose. She's, you know, stuck in a fucking parallel world.
I mean, if *Sarah Jane* (who most would argue was a *much* stronger person than Rose) was unable to move on, to not have closure until she saw the Doctor again, what, 30 years after they parted ways? And had the type of relationship that wasn't at the same level as the Doctor and Rose (yeah, do not care how hard you try and retcon that one, I'm not buying it was the same.)? You really think Rose is going to have this happy, shiny life? Especially with the way things ended?
ETA: By "level" I mean that SJ's relationship never went to that romantic level, which is where Rose went. Which would only make it that much harder to move on.
So yes. Still bitter about how they handled Rose's departure. Hell, I as the *viewer* needed closure.
*sigh*
Back to thinking I really don't need to be watching future eps. Sounds like they'll only just make me crazy. er. To which I'm sure many an old schooler is thinking, "Yay! One more D/R person bites the dust. Now maybe we can get to some *real* Doctor Who."
How did I get so bitter? I never used to be this way. Seriously. Although, make no mistake. It's not like this has actually consumed my life, despite how it looks on LJ - this journal has *always* been mainly fanish. I don't take long walks on the beach brooding about this or hold my finger over the unfriend button if someone on my flist doesn't like Rose since that's probably about 2/3rds of my list.
But how cool would it be if they actually had a big button that said "UNFRIEND"? With lots of exclamation points after it? HA! But I digress...
You know, it probably doesn't help that I've been in the process of writing a DW fic pretty much ever since the finale, and so everything stays fresh in my mind. And I just wrote a small scene where Jack and the Doctor get into it for leaving Jack behind. Ow. (Well, only so far as the Doctor lets him get into it before shutting him down.)
Meanwhile my flist is saying, "sweet Christ, that ended a month ago! Get some therapy already!"
Also, I had pie for breakfast.
ETA: Heh heh heh. Over 20,000 words now.
