Doctor Who

Spoilers



Ok, so now that I've stopped crying maybe I can think. I'll probably miss a few points... I'll rewatch it tomorrow. Maybe.

Good:

- The companions working together and piloting the TARDIS together.
- Ianto and Gwen having fun while the Earth is being moved through space.
- The Doctor telling Jackie not to touch anything ^_^
- The Doctor and Rose talking to Gwen about her family XD
- Jack pretending to die and then the whole exchange with him and Mickey.
- The TARDIS being a tugboat and carrying the Earth back home. I admit - I cried. It was like watching the Discovery Channel commercial 'The World is Just Awesome.' Beautiful.

Bad:

- Donna losing her memories. It might have been better if she had just died. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite companion, but I loved Donna and that was fucked up what happened to her.
- I have a problem with 'clones' or whatever. I didn't like it on SG1 when Jack was cloned into the boy, didn't like it on Voyager when Harry died and alternate!Harry joined the crew, and I didn't like it here. It's just a pet peeve of mine, I guess.
- I also didn't really like the ending turning into fanfiction with the Doctor living out the rest of his human life with Rose. I have to agree with some comments I've read. Rose is more than just in love with the Doctor. Wouldn't know it from watching this though.
- Making it feel like Martha is a bad guy for the tough positions she is put into. Had it been the only option (obviously LAST RESORT), at least then the whole of existence wouldn't have been destroyed.


I'm not sure I can make up my mind about how I feel on this one. It had some really good moments, but also a lot of 'Do not want!' Honestly, I'm looking more forward to more Torchwood. And although I'm not sure how I'd feel about it in the long term, I don't think I'd mind Martha or Mickey joining TW. Maybe for just recurring roles?

Ok, I might not know how I feel about the episode as a whole, but I'm still really pissed about what happened to Donna. Dammit.

Also, he didn't regenerate into a new person, but is he still 'Ten' or should we be calling him 'Eleven?' Or to put it another way, how many more times can he regenerate? Did he use up a regeneration healing himself?
