Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride

[butterfly]

First things first:

Rose! I miss you so much! Billie! Can't you come back? Please?

Everything else:

I actually really enjoyed the episode. Donna grew nicely as a character from start to finish and her disinterest in the end for traveling with the Doctor pointed out just why Rose is different from the average girl (I loved, in particular, the reason that Donna mentioned -- that for her, the terror outweighed the wonder). And the Doctor! I loved him so much in this. Going full-tilt into the mystery, missing Rose, being the last of his people -- David Tennant was gold.

I... cried. Out loud. When the Doctor saw the blonde girl and thought of Rose, I actually gasped (attracting the attention of jic) and then started sniffling so hard that I had to pause the episode (then she wanted to see what was affecting me so much and we ended up starting the episode over from the beginning). So, yes. His grief felt very real.

But however much I enjoyed the episode and have decided that I can watch the Doctor without Rose, I missed her terribly. Nearly as much as he did, I'd say.

Which takes me back to the beginning:

Oh, Rose. Can't you come back?
