Doctor Who: Army of Ghosts

[butterfly]

*blinks*

Dude, I don't know how I'm going to make the wait until next week. Just... dude.

So, in the teaser, Rose tells us that she's dead. I'm going to repeat that -- she tells us that she's dead. Which makes me curious about how she's doing the narrating. I mean, they could be all "from beyond" with the narration, but it's odd. *shrugs*

Also, next week is going to kill me, I think. I loved Mickey's return. Loved Torchwood. Loved Jackie. Adored the Doctor and Rose.

All I can do right now is wonder just how this is going to end.

I do hope to have more thoughts later, particularly on how Jackie's speech to Rose made me go, "And, yes? That's called growing up, sweetheart." But I'm too emotionally exhausted at the moment, I think.

particularly on how Jackie's speech to Rose made me go, "And, yes? That's called growing up, sweetheart."

Yes indeed!

I think that Jackie is suffering a bit from Empty Nest Syndrome.

*nods*

I was thinking that about Jackie's speech too. As much as I love her, it seems like Jackie in some ways wants to hold Rose back/limit her to the familiar. Like in the very first episode when she says working at Hendrick's is giving her "airs and graces."

Exactly that, yes. And I can't tell at the moment whether the show agrees with Jackie or Rose (perhaps, in the end, it won't agree with either, which I would be fine with). A lot of people seem to be taking Jackie's speech as Authorial Intent which is... dude, it's Jackie. When has she ever been Authorial Intent before? She's Rose's mum -- she's biased about whether or not Rose should stay on Earth.

That said, I have about five different songs picked out, depending on how Saturday goes -- I just know that however it ends, it'll hurt enough that I'll want to vid it. And... I really don't want to have to miss Rose.

*sighs*

That said, I think that Yvonne (I think that was the Torchwood woman's name) would make for an interesting S3 companion. She had an intriguing dynamic with the Doctor, very different than what he has with Rose.

*sighs again*

Rose is definitely going to break my heart next week, no matter what.

Oh, Jackie may well be partly right, but I really doubt she's supposed to be Authorial Intent. She's been wrong way too much for that.

And its definitely gonna hurt. I know I'm going to be crying like a little baby next week. I have loved some of the other Companions, but never the way I love Rose. Tegan's the only one that comes close, and I get teary when I watch the bit where she leaves too!

Yvonne would be a great Companion! I wonder if the show would go that way though.

Oh, Tegan is the female companion of Fifth in The Five Doctors, right? I liked her (and the redhead guy -- who was Turlough, I think). She was a little bit sarcastic.

I'm definitely going to be teary-eyed this Saturday.

[fannishnonsense]

Yep, that's her. She was completely awesome and snarky at Five. Which he totally deserved of course. And then Turlough came along and was snarky at everyone. It was truly the golden age of Doctor Who. Or something like that anyway.

And tissue stocks are so going to go up this weekend!
