But why is the squee gone?

[jadesfire]

I am starting to think that there is only a finite amount of squee in the universe. fandom_me and fan_eunice both have theirs back, as do various other members of my flist. Mine has vanished. Not that I didn't enjoy Doctor Who, I just...can't find the squee.

I know why, I know there's nothing I can do about it, and I know that having hayfever like flu isn't helping, but damnit I want the happy. I don't want to cry at my desk or a WWII documentary or a trailer for the Olympics.

*stamps foot*

Enough crying. More happy please.


#1. Where was Jenny? Have I just missed all the posts asking about her? Because seriously, the hand getting its own close up at the beginning, not bubbling was all kinds of significant.

#2. I'm 99.9% sure (and have done extensive rewatching, purely for research, of course) that the gun Jack's got there? That's his Gamestation gun. You know how I said I was looking for my squee? Fic about that would make me 10 kinds of happy *flutters eyelashes*
ETA3:#2a. Yup, that's the one (thanks aeron_lanart!). Also, Fic! as requested, with thanks to Becky!

My vote for 'most faithful companion' still goes for Rose. As much as I'd like it to be one of the others, this is RTD's world, and so I'm voting it's Rose. Also, clear evidence of skewed priorities? The thing I'm most looking forward to in the next episode: Donna and Jack in the same room. Oh yes.

Huh. There's some of my squee. Anyone care to provide me with more?


ETA: Of course, when all else fails, there's always icanhascheezburger to make me smile

ETA2: *blinks* torchwood_three links to this journal. I don't mind, I just didn't know. Huh. If I'd known I would have tidied up around here first. *hides washing up*

ETA4: (3 is under the cut, and yes, it's one of those days...) The Times headline: So if it isn't bug eat bug, what is it that's killing the honey bees

I'm bursting at the seams with squee! I hope you find yours soon!

My perfect solution to the "faithful companion/everlasting death" thing would be Jack being stripped of his immortality, therefore developing the ability to die at a later date. Not gonna hold my breath, but you know.

I'm not sure if Jenny will show up for the finale or not. It's pretty jam-packed, but I'd love to see the Doctor and Sarah Jane chat about sudden parenthood.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I shall steal some of your squee to be going on with ;)

I...sort of like the mortal!Jack idea, but one of the things that defines the character for me is that sense of loss, that he'll go on while the others don't, so I'm not sure about that...

The finale's ridiculously jam-packed, but I can still see Jenny swooping in at the last minute to save the say somehow. Also, if the three themes of the season are 'Donna's special', 'missing planets' and 'children', I can't think of a better way to finish the last one off!

*checks watch* Damn. Still got a 6 days to go...

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Most faithful companion? The TARDIS. And RTD's enough of a fanboy for it to work.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I sort of hope so, although my money's still on Rose. Because the Doctor can go on without her, but without the TARDIS? They're going to struggle to make the show!

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I actually like the idea that the Faithful companion is Dalek Caan, who died a thousand times or something to bring back Davros. That's pretty faithful don't you think? And I'm sure he would quite like everlasting death after all that.

DO NOT want Jack to lose his immortality.

And yes, that *was* the game station gun - I had a much closer look when I watched it last night on the TV rather than the computer - his only memento of the Doctor that he was able to take with him... no fic from me about it - or not yet anyway though I can cogitate.

Ianto and Gwen being awesome; that made me squee, even though I thought it was rather sad... going down fighting "Like Owen, like Tosh" and telling Jack to go, and that they'd be ok even though I'm sure they're expecting not to be.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Heh, I saw the 'Dalek Caan' theory in a few places. Not sold on it myself, but it's an interesting idea.

With you totally on Jack's immortality, and thanks for the confirmation :) It gave me the biggest grin EVER :D

Ianto and Gwen were wonderful, pitch perfect, every moment. (well mostly - Ianto laughing stupidly at Paul O'Grady jarred but it was great apart from that). And at least now I'm convinced there's going to be a reset because, hey, TW S3!

[entangled-now.livejournal.com]

Donna and Jack in the same room. Oh yes.

I echo your 'Oh yes' and would like to add an 'epic!'

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

:D I loved her reaction to Jack, and the Doctor's reaction. Cannot wait.

Also, how much did I love that Donna was happy for the Doctor that Rose was back? The look on her face when they were talking about it, she was just so happy for him. Rose? Martha? This is how you do it...

You are a star, thank you so much.

Plus, your icon made me giggle, which is quite the achievement this morning :)

[unfeathered]

I haven't got much squee for this one either. Too many different stories going on, plus TW in my DW. I don't want TW in my DW. I want JACK, but not TW.

I hope to enjoy next week's more, now they're all together and it won't be lots of separate stories.

I also need to rewatch this one because I seem to have missed quite a lot. Including most of what Dalek Caan was saying... *g*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I was squeeing for the people and the individual moments, but I want to watch this, Turn Left and next week's as one, I think, because I'll really get it. Although I liked TW in my DW - I like joining the dots, and that's been something that's been a big gap for too long for my liking.

Hee. I missed a lot of that too. yup, nothing for it but to watch again.

oh. The hardship... :D

And just for the heck of it, have some cake:

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Ooh, cake *munches*

Thanks!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I've been following that bee story for over a year, and being a bug lover, I was really hoping it was going somewhere in Doctor Who. So that made me squee a lot.

Other than that, I'm hoping when I have my tea it will make this morning stop sucking, so - ::passes tea:: (It's really good!)

That flipping puppy is ADORABLE.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. I squeaked when the bees thing came up - so chuffed! Not that they're disappearing, you understand, just that it turned out to bee something ;)

*sips tea* thanks. Nothing could have salvaged the day, but it's nice to have a little comfort anyway.

The whole site is wonderful, but the puppy? Cutest. Thing. Ever.

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

I haz abundance of squee! U can to be sharing!

*twirls you around*

*trips and lands in the washing-up pile*

(I can never remember...is "washing-up" laundry, or dishes?)

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

Dishes *is helpful*

*butts back out*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

No idea about Jenny. I'm also confused because I could swear I saw BBC posed pictures with Ten, all the companions and not Gwen and Ianto but other previous DW people who were not in this episode.

Is it wrong that I want Jack to give a glowy kiss to a glowy Doctor to heal him? (If we're not going to Eleven that is) I liked random weirdness of TW S1 and Jack's unique CPR.

and.. for a laugh, not suer if you follow football but from the opening ceremony of the 2008 Euro Cup final (as interpreted by ihasatardis)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

You're not imagining things - Mickey and Jackie were both in the promo pic, so must be in the next episode somehow. But I'm still betting on Jenny showing up again.

And you're not the only one who thought that about Jack...we haven't seen it for aaaaaaaaaages...

*giggle* Hadn't seen it, although we saw the match. Brilliant.
