And I won't clog your journal comments with my rant, because I think once I start, I won't be able to stop.
dude, why do you think i make posts! I WANT CRAZY RANTS, DANG IT. or measured discussion. either way. anyway, sometime i will do the meta i have had simmering in my mind about JE, but i needed to get this out first, because it is uppermost at the moment, and also will provide brain background. mostly i think it will turn into a long essay about the treatment of queerness and sexuality in new who, because, other than ruining rose's character and fucking up donna, i think that is the worst legacy of that episode.
I can blame the ’no goodbye’ mostly because I think Rose figured she’d be staying with the Doctor - as did Mickey - so they’d see each other again
when mickey left the TARDIS the doctor looked confused and then mickey said something like, "don't have to be a genius to see how this will play out", and my impression was that he could see the doctor was going to leave nate and rose together in the alt!verse. which implies that even mickey can tell that the doctor is a fucked up dude with relationship issues, but rose can't. erm.
I still like Rose. I’ll still watch episodes from S1 and S2.
i want to like rose! when i was writing this i was coming up with all sorts of, "well, but if you look at it this way, it's really fucked up, but it's interesting..." but, yeah. actually watching the episodes makes it hard. especially s2. when mickey says he's going to stay in the alt!verse because his grandmother needs him, and rose says, "but what if *i* need you?" god damn. or the bit from the first screencap, where jackie has fallen asleep looking after the doctor, and rose stands in the doorway and says, "the proper doctor wouldn't have done this! he would save us." um... the proper doctor wouldn't have done what? sacrificed his life and risked an unstable and dangerous regeneration to save you? *facepalm city*
mickey isn't going to be in the next TW series. i am conflicted, because on the one hand, i would have had a reason to watch torchwood. on the other hand, i would have had a reason to watch torchwood. anyway, now i can believe that he is working at UNIT, sometimes with martha, and being generally awesome, so i am fine with that.
Also, I <3 Jackie.
notice how i snuck in sexy ten/jackie up there. OH YEAH.
That's why I put her in my comic.
...which i need to remember to actually read. *makes note*
