Doomsday

Doomsday. A fitting name. For it was for Rose and the DoctorÂ…

But wow. You know. Wow. At first I thought Daleks and Cybermen would be too much to handle. Too big. But RTD pulled it off! Everyone was supporting the Daleks of course- they had some great lines, e.g “This is not war. This is pest control.” The Daleks are just brilliant!

So Rose didnÂ’t die. I thought she wouldnÂ’t; there were too many hints implying that she would and of course nothing obvious ever happens in Doctor Who.

I had a theory that she may get stuck on a parallel world and the beach scene came very close…Especially when Rose mentioned a baby. But because there’s never been any evidence of a Doctor/Rose drunken pash then it wouldn’t have worked. Instead I was yelling “Not Mickey’s! Please not Mickey!” but it was a red herring. Thank god.

Bringing me onto MickeyÂ…why does everyone like him? HeÂ’s turned from an idiotic coward to an arrogant idiotic poser. His pathetic attempts to flirt with Rose made me cringe. As if IÂ’m not upset enough about Rose being trapped in another universe! But Mickey being thereÂ…

IÂ’m loving Pete though. I think it was great that he, Jackie and Rose are together. Ignore Mickey. I liked him so much in fatherÂ’s day I knew heÂ’d have to come back. Like I know Rose will have to come back too. Preferably with Captain Jack. I loved the threesome! HavenÂ’t seem them together with the tenth doctor yet. I can hopeÂ…

Yvonne. She was a bitch. I liked her. And TracyÂ’s very good at playing bitchy people. I wish she could be the new companion. What a combination that would be! I didnÂ’t think much of Freema as Adeola. No. Not at all.

I thought the scene where Rose lets go of the lever was heart wrenching, especially the distraught expression on the DoctorÂ’s face. The music teamed with Rose and the Doctor both leaning on the wall was heartbreaking but very effective. The beach scene was even sadder. Perhaps saying goodbye is harder than one actually dying? They know theyÂ’re both alive but they canÂ’t be with each other. Terribly sad.

IÂ’m trying to decide which is better. Parting of the ways or Doomsday? Loved the bad wolf reference in Doomsday, as if Rose had put that there because she knew what was going to happen, and made it be the last place to say goodbye. Rose told the Doctor she loved him (finally) but he was cut off just before he could! Very Satan Pit. Oh, she knows. He just canÂ’t admit his feelings, can he? There was no kiss in Doomsday which annoyed me no end. Rose hasnÂ’t had a chance to get her hands on the tenth yet (New Earth doesnÂ’t count). ThatÂ’s probably why IÂ’m leaning more towards Parting of the Ways. A kiss, self sacrifice- and of course all the bad wolf stuff going on. Great idea. It makes Rose special and makes you think Is she, in effect, a Timelady now? Will she live on, for as long as the Doctor? IÂ’ll be waiting for her to come back. It wonÂ’t be the same now sheÂ’s gone. But IÂ’ll be watching, like the rest of you. Hoping for Rose and my 2nd favourite, Captain Jack, to return!

To conclude, Doctor Who is just excellent. The 2 series are the best television I’ve ever seen. Sure there’s been some slip ups like the Long game and Girl in the fireplace (Steven Moffat I’m disappointed in you) but all in all, in the words of the 9th doctor, “Fantastic.”
