And here I am replying right away because it's one of those days where I'm sitting in front of my computer, in my pajamas, at 11 in the morning! :)
I honestly try not to think about the two Johns and Aeryn's two relationships with him, because it's just WEIRD.
See, and my problem was it became ALL I could think about! Because, yes, very weird and crazy and I just didn't get it. I wanted John and Aeryn together, but they already WERE together and he died and . . . it didn't make sense. But, eventually, I think it worked out in my head and I was able to enjoy the story.
I seem to remember a scene, too, where I thought the living John got the memories of the other John, but I can't remember the specifics either. I think it might've had to do with his attitude toward Aeryn's pregnancy. (That always seemed weird to me, too. Yes, John's the father, but which John?)
I do think it was a happy ending for Rose, but I really dislike the way the show portrayed it.
I really think we needed to see her interact more with the Doctor she got. Because I DO think he's the same, but I can understand why people don't since we just didn't see enough of them together (the kissing was GREAT, but that was never what they were about).
Rose at least deserved a goodbye from the Tardis!Doctor!
And I wanted him to get one from her! I'm sure he didn't want to cause any of them more pain, but it would've been a nice bit of closure all around.
I keep hoping (probably in vain) that next year's specials will deal with this, at least a bit. I highly doubt Moffat will, but RTD has a little more time . . .
