Doomsday

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

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 В“This is not war. This is pest control.В” The Daleks are just brilliant!

So Rose didnВ’t die. I thought she wouldnВ’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 closeВ…Especially when Rose mentioned a baby. But because thereВ’s never been any evidence of a Doctor/Rose drunken pash then it wouldnВ’t have worked. Instead I was yelling В“Not MickeyВ’s! Please not Mickey!В” but it was a red herring. Thank god.

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

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

Yvonne. She was a bitch. I liked her. And TracyВ’s very good at playing bitchy people. I wish she could be the new companion. What a combination that would be! I didnВ’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 DoctorВ’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 theyВ’re both alive but they canВ’t be with each other. Terribly sad.

IВ’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 canВ’t admit his feelings, can he? There was no kiss in Doomsday which annoyed me no end. Rose hasnВ’t had a chance to get her hands on the tenth yet (New Earth doesnВ’t count). ThatВ’s probably why IВ’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? IВ’ll be waiting for her to come back. It wonВ’t be the same now sheВ’s gone. But IВ’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 IВ’ve ever seen. Sure thereВ’s been some slip ups like the Long game and Girl in the fireplace (Steven Moffat IВ’m disappointed in you) but all in all, in the words of the 9th doctor, В“Fantastic.В”
