Pretty big spoilers for Army of Ghosts as seen on a review.
Le sigh. Really does sound like she "just goes home." I'm betting that the shocking thing up front is that she wants to leave. Why else would she be carting off laundry? Of course, it's shocking because we've had absolutely no buildup whatsoever.

Yeah. *sigh* Disappointing.
Well, the shocking thing could be that a herd of hamsters breaks loose in the TARDIS, but I'm going with the Rose wants to leave thing. Because I am so down on this show right now I can't look up. Really want it to be over. Really.
So you say SG-1 starts up here in a couple of weeks?

But I'm waiting until after the finale to buy the S1 DVDs. Is that bad? That's probably bad. And sad.

*hugs* I know, I know. Fanfic gives me a temporary lift, but then the sinking sensation in my stomach returns. For the first time in 12 weeks, I'm not looking forward to tomorrow night. I keep hoping that my lowered expectations will mean I end up really enjoying the episode(s), but that's a bad sign right there, isn't it? I'm still definitely not going to stop watching the show over this, but I have a feeling the high level of obsessiveness that I've shown these last weeks may well be at an end. Except, of course, that I'm still obsessing and am considering rushing over to Amazon and purchasing all the 9 & 10 books. And looking forward to the DVDs coming out next week so very much. And still reading all the good fanfic I can lay hands on. Um. OK, still obsessed.

SG-1 starts up two weeks from today, yes, although I'm more eager for SGA. Still watch SG-1, but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Even though - hey, are you spoiled for casting during SG-1's next season?

Yeah, probably not good when you want your expectations to be as low as possible before watching an episode. But I'm there too. :(

Yeah. I don't know if I'll stop watching or not yet. Depends on what happens. I really do think though if Rose "just goes home," - something so mundane after the last two years has been all about the fantastic - that I may just abandon it. Chalk it up to a fun little two-year show and move on. I'm not going to force myself into being involved if my heart's not in it.

*snickers* Those were fun.

I think I'm waiting until after next week to buy the DVDs. That's how much that type of ending would kill the entire show for me.

Ha!

Ummmm...oh right! Yeah! I'm definitely watching those eps!!
Warning: Casting spoiler for SG-1
That would just suck so hard. I'd be so disappointed in her and hurt for the Doctor. I mean, I'm going to hurt for the Doctor anyway, but if she dies (or gets "lost" - still my favorite outcome), at least I wouldn't be disappointed in her. And honestly, I still don't get her going home at this point, since it's been made clear to me, at least, just how much damn fun she's still having. And how much she loves the Doctor. So at this point I'm having trouble seeing any reason at all why she'd willingly go home.
Ummmm...oh right! Yeah! I'm definitely watching those eps!!
Hee. Yeah, I couldn't tell whether you knew or cared about casting spoilers for SG-1 (sometimes people care for one show and not for another, y'know), but I've missed Jack sooooo much. Not that I dislike Mitchell, or anything, but. It's Jack!
Re: Warning: Casting spoiler for SG-1
Right. I mean if the going home is really the end result, then I really needed to see some kind of buildup over the last few episodes. Something that said she was starting to question things and doubt her life there. But instead she's been putting a vice grip on the Doctor.

Yeah, it'd have to be something pretty huge. Jackie dying or something.

I used to care about spoilers, but gave up with that when I stopped watching the show last season. Cannot wait for Jack!
Re: Warning: Casting spoiler for SG-1
Exactly! Rose doesn't want him to be so lonely and she got a kick out of the idea of the Olympics and she always seems so curious. There has been NO buildup.
Which reminds me of Sarah-Jane. Because Four didn't want her to to and she didn't want to go, but he got called back to Gallifry(sp?) and couldn't take a human with him and it was so bittersweet.
But the Time Lords don't exist anymore so Rose better die.....it just dawned on me that I'm rooting for her character to be killed! That's how much I don't believe that she'd leave of her own accord.
*goes off to mumble crazy-talk in a corner*
Re: Warning: Casting spoiler for SG-1
No, me too! Gah! It's the whole Hollow Men "this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper" thing in my mind. If she doesn't go out with a bang, then her whole experience will ring empty to me.
Dammit, I want Farscape-type mythic atomization! The stuff of legends!

This said, if there are ghosts of loved ones, then there's probably gonna be some daddy issues. That might make Rose want to stay home. Plus, over the last two weeks, Rose has seemed a bit more doubtful. After all, in L&M, she recieves the nasty surprise that someone's been using her mum to try and stalk her and the Doctor. Last week, she had to save the day pretty much all on her own, with no Doctor to help her -- plus, that revelation that he "used to be a dad once". I think we've been seeing the preperation all season -- from fireplace girl to SJS, to the revelation that the Doctor's not as all powerful as she thinks. That's probably going to be a large part of it.

See, to me that makes it all the more...relevant. (Not exactly the right word, but not figuring out what it should be.) She's seen more of who he really is as opposed to in S1 when it was more a crush on a "god," and at the end of Fear Her she's saying things like "you and me will always be okay," and "they'll never split us up" and worried about who's going to hold his hand if she's not with him. Doesn't really sound like someone who's thinking about taking off.
