Not putting any kind of reaction outside a cut 'cos I love you

[jadesfire]

This is just a very quick random thought about the end - reaction tomorrow when I'm not trying to watch the tennis at the same time...

...okay, I can see them keeping things really well under wraps, and maybe we will get a new Doctor. But.

But.

All the waaaay back in "The Doctor's Daughter", Jenny regenerates. Only she doesn't. And caused much fandom drama. She stayed the same just, you know, not dead any more. They made a point of showing "the hand" near the beginning of the episode, and they haven't been dropping red herrings this season. And yes, before anyone points it out to me, Jenny's coming back to life was completely different. Still. Thoughts?

Also, who is the 'most faithful/constant(?) companion? (someone help me out here with the quote). Jack, because he's just plain always there? Rose, for travelling the dimensions? And what is Donna? Because there's no way she's just human.

And why am I out at the theatre next Saturday night? Why? Why?

Overall, I had much squee for the Torchwood crew in this, and love Jack getting his teleporter back working. Sarah I felt was wasted a little, Martha wasn't which made a nice change, and the whole thing suffered from the same plot-overload as 'Sound of Drums'. But I love that there were no red herrings this year, that the bees were significant after all, and that RTD really paid back those fans who were paying attention. This makes me happy.

Also, how much do I want 'Jack following Sarah's work' fic? And how much do I love him showing up at the end and taking charge? Maybe I'm just easy, but SO MUCH LOVE. Just brilliant. Although I kind of wanted more of a "Rose!?!?!?!" from him, because hello? This is the first time he's seeing her since the Gamestation. Please don't leave that unaddressed, RTD. Please.

Re the most faithful companion, don't forget that Martha traveled a dead/dying Earth for a year for him...

It was the "everlasting death" (or "eternal death", whichever) part that made me flail, because death is everlasting for *everybody*--except Jack.

OMG I JUST HAD A HORRIBLE THOUGHT. During Midnight, the Doctor spits out the line of his companions: "RoseTylerMarthaJonesDonnaNobleTARDIS." He considers the TARDIS a companion! And she'd definitely qualify as "most faithful"...

OK, I KNOW that won't possibly happen. But won't the idea give you nightmares?

Hee, I thought TARDIS too!

I didn't count Martha, because in the end, she left him - Rose had to be sucked into a different universe, and even then she came back.

Huh, I hadn't noticed that about 'everlasting death' - I can't see it being Jack, because hey, TW S3 is coming, but I could see someone ending up like the Family of Blood. I worry for Donna...

Hee. Trust me, my nightmares have plenty of fuel so that won't even get a look in. It's possible, but I'll believe it when I see it :)
