So we're up to S2 in watching all of New Who (in prep for watching S4 this spring.) Which means we're only a few weeks off from THAT episode. That episode that I've not watched since when it first aired.

Um, can I get a note from my flist that says I'm not allowed to watch Doomsday?

Dear People who need to know,

Mrv is excused from watching Doomsday, as it leaves her sobbing, quivering mess. We believe it's an allergic reaction to angst.

Sincerely,

Her Insane F-List.

WOOO!!! Thank you!

BUT THEN YOU'LL MISS ROSE TELLING OFF THE DALEKS. Ha! I say stop after that scene. \o/

Oh, right! See, I've completely forgotten about some good moments after shutting that episode out of my mind as much as possible.

When the S3 trailer came out and we saw the Daleks, someone brought up the fact that some Daleks had disappeared in Doomsday. I was like, "What the *hell* are you talking about?? Daleks disappearing??" The last thing I really remember is the Doctor mocking Jackie in front of the TARDIS, and then it goes into this blur. I'm happy with the blur.

JUST STOP WATCHING AFTER THAT. ENJOY ROSE BEING AWESOME.

The trick is to watch Doomsday over and over again until you become numb to it. Not sure how long it takes because I still start crying when Rose runs to Jackie after the Doctor disappears. But before that with rapid blinking and looking away from the screen and talking loudly over the angst I barely tear up.

Here's what you do.

Watch the first part.
START the second part, and as soon as they're both holding onto the thingies and the BADGUYS start to go through, TURN IT OFF.

That way it ends happily ever after. =D
Because what really happened in the third series was Rose was in Tens bed (she was in a severe sex!comma), but because youngins watch it, they couldn't show that without having to do a lot of 'splainin.

Except for the "this is the last story I'll ever tell..." *WIBBLES*

FAST FORWARD. USE THE FAST FORWARD BUTTON.

Clockwork Orange!

Oh hell, the music from the beach scene can send me into a spiral of angst.

BWAH!

Dear dwrewatch,

mrv3000 cannot watch Doomsday as it contravenes Doctor's orders to avoid triggers for her Uncontrollable Weeping Disorder.

-------------------------------------------------

I usually console myself with the knowledge that it could have been worse (see: the Julie Gardner-mandated alternate take, or if instead of the beach reaction we'd seen Ten telling Rose he loves her into thin air in the TARDIS and realizing as he's saying it that she's not hearing it).

I think I might need to join ivydoor and dettiot in their drunken recaps. Or possibly just get drunk.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

Drinking is a valid option.

Thank you. Next thing you know I'll be writing 28,000 word fix-it fic and spiraling downward until I'm finally writing babyfic... Oh wait.

Hmmm. This is also my plan in watching some of S1 Torchwood. I'm starting to think that the Whoverse might not be all that great for my health.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

MAKE SURE TO DRINK LOTS DURING CYBERWOMAN.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's the one!

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

STILL ANGRY ABOUT NO DOCTOR AND ROSE MENTION.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwww.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

I pretend he thinks about them the entire time and he stole one of Rose's teddy bears like the Doctor did after the end of the episode.

I'm going to watchit because damnit I need a good cry and I can be guaranteed of that when i watch Doomsday.

*sniffles just thinking if it*

OR!!!!!! Watchit with the visual commentary of David and Billie :) It's good and funny.

[debs7.livejournal.com]

What is the Julie Gardner-mandated alternate take?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I never really feel the need for a good cry. *shoos the episode away*

OOOOOH. Yeah, maybe I'll cheat! I've never watched that all the way through before, although the flist has spammed me with the cute smooch they do at the end.

AWWWWWW!
