Doctor Who: More on Planet of the Ood (music-related)

[butterfly]

So, the Doctor's song may be ending soon. What's that about? I've got no notion. Isn't that fun?

The bit of the Doctor's theme that plays at the end of PotO goes sliding down fast, much faster than it plays in the straight-up 'Doctor's Theme'. It is, in fact, exactly the version of the song that appears over the driving beat of 'Doomsday' (all of the 'Doctor's Theme' is much... dreamier than the more intent version that is sung during 'Doomsday').

Note: Ah-ha. A mystery is solved. Though the melody from DD is not the same as "The Doctor's Theme", it is still the same as the music that happens when Rose enters the TARDIS (as pointed out by cookie2697), which is not "the Doctor's Theme" and does not appear to be on the soundtrack of first series (unless someone else finds it there!).

And here's the imeem link if the embed doesn't work.

They're the two halves of a whole -- she's the driving, burning determination and he's the lone, calling voice. Each reaching out. Each still lost.

And that is all the meta that I have for right now.

She is!

*bounces*

I kinda love how very subtle this call-out was. Because... this episode is infused with the memory of Rose whether or not the Doctor actually says her name because she's the one who was with the Doctor when we met them and she bonded with them. She was the one who actually noticed that what was happening with them was off, though she didn't get time to investigate it. The questions that this episode answers are the ones that Rose brought up that the Doctor didn't even think about or notice. I like that this other reminder of her is also subtle but haunting.
