More Waters of Mars

[mrv3000]

I really don't think I have any more joy for this show. It's funny - I actually had more love for the SJA episode with Ten than I'm feeling right now. Once upon a time there was this quirky fun time travel show I fell in love with. And then they bait-and-switched me!

Thing is, I completely understand why the Doctor is where he is. (Except for that whole thing about being scared of death. I don't quite get that.) But the Doctor's "I AM GOD" attitude? I see why he's there at this point. RTD's done a fantastic job of leading him down this path full of ups and downs. It's not out of nowhere.

But still. Even though there were hints of this throughout - even since the beginning of 2005 - it's still not really the show I started watching. Or why I started watching and kept watching. I'm kind of glad the end is coming since I'm ready for it to be over.

For the longest time I felt slightly guilty about enjoying stuff in the altverse (fic, socks) to the point of not really caring what happened on the real show. But man, after this episode I'm not feeling guilty anymore. I'm happy Rose and TenII are off in another universe and don't have to deal with all this shit. May the walls of the universes never come down again.

I know what you mean, even if I plan to continue watching. It's completely understandable, where Ten is, but it isn't the fun romp anymore. SJA has more of the essence of the Doctor Who I know than this does, and right now, I need the lighthearted children's adventures far more, I guess. I think all the recent companions would be heartbroken and furious if they saw him like this (and I almost wish, for his sake, that maybe one of them could.)

God. This whole year of this show has been one long kick in the stomach, really.

I really wish one of them could see him like this as well. They'd alternate slapping him and hugging him. Maybe at the same time. And all would be well.

Sarah Jane and Donna tag-teaming it. They could be really stern. (Also they would get along, I think. Maybe. I was watching the Third Doctor serial "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" the other day and both Sarah Jane and Donna know the value of a paper trail, and where to find it. I like this variety of practicality, and not just because I worked in medical records for five years.)

I think they'd get along great too! As long as SJ doesn't go hugging any cute guys. XD
