Oi

So, I saw the finale of Doctor Who, Journey's End. I know some of you haven't seen it yet (Lil Sis) and don't want it spoiled, so skip this!

Well, it wasn't as bad as last years. Plot-wise, it's all sci-fi, so they are allowed to make up as much stupid stuff as they want - I won't pay much attention to it. Villains were evil, Daleks were Daleks, and the Earth was put back in its place (literally) at the end.

Rose was there, but I thought that she didn't really do anything. Nothing. Stood around and asked questions to help with the exposition. Boring. And then at the end, the return to Bad Wolf Bay, even I (who love the Doctor and Rose forever) felt that the scene was a total and complete cop-out. I read this comment somewhere else and this is exactly what I thought during the scene: To me, the Bad Wolf Bay scene read like this: Rose: So you want me to stay here with New Ten who you hate? Even though you’ve spent two seasons moping all about how you missed me? Now that you could have me back, you’d rather stick me here to clean up the mess you made when you regenerated yourself twice for no real reason? This is what you think the happy ending is going to be? Lame.

Martha was there. Boo. Boring and didn't do much. Jack also didn't do much. Neither did Sarah-Jane (although she brought K-9 into the picture again) or the Torchwood team. Mickey (whom I love) and Jackie were back as well but they also didn't do much. This whole episode suffered from WAY too many people in the cast.

And finally Donna. Who was awesome. And who I will miss the most. And who should have gotten a better ending then, "Thanks for being awesome, back to being a temp now." By FAR, my favorite scenes of the entire episode involved Catherine Tate and David Tennant. They were so good.

I was spoiled for the no regeneration (there are pictures of David Tennant filming the Christmas episode from months ago, so I knew that wasn't going to happen), that there would be two Doctors, and that Donna was either going to die or lose her memories. And I had hoped that the last one was a foiler so that nothing like that was going to happen. Stupid show.

But I feel totally let down. All I learned is that if you rise from being a temp to being the most important person in the entire universe (half Time-Lord, for goodness sake), too bad for you and here's your parting gift: no memories of it ever happening.

No, I'm not bitter. Ok, I am. Hopefully, I'll be over it be Christmas.

ETA: This is more for me. I want to be able to find this Confidential easily!
