Someday, probably even very soon, I will stop talking about Doctor Who so much. But not yet.
I know I avoided spoilers for the Doctor Who finale, but now I want to know things about the specials. What information is actually out there about them?
Is anyone caught up on both Doctor Who and Farscape? There's a discussion I want to have, but I might have to have it with myself.
And now I'm going for a walk. I've been freaking lazy since school got out. Must try to fix that!

Date: 2008-07-07 05:59 pm (UTC)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 . . .
