Alone in the Whoniverse?
Whovians! Have you ever found yourself asked “Why do you like Doctor Who?” and found yourself unable to answer?
No, me neither. BUT if I was ever asked, I have found a video that I would use precisely to reply. Because it is just perfect. Kudos to the creator.
Also, if one more person makes a Doctor Who music video about Rose and the Doctor and their pure pure love 4eva zomg!!! to a James Blunt or any other such whingy music, I will have them by their pre-pubescent breasts and stick them somewhere locked in a dungeon in the TARDIS, forced to watch old Doctor Who tapes until they realise that there are other companions, and yes, there was love, and yes, there will be again.
And that goes for RTD too. STOP SELLING ME YOUR SHIP, DAMNIT, CAUSE THE MORE YOU SELL, THE LESS I BUY.
I liked Doomsday, though.
Am I alone in the Whoniverse on this? I mean, yes, we liked Rose, some of us, and she was a good companion, and we’ll miss her, but please. Are you going to spend the whole of Season 3 weeping and saying “He’s doing the emo bit because he misses Rose and their tru luv!!!1 It has nothing to do with him losing his planet and all his people!! Just because he showed sadness at her getting stuck in an alternative universe, it means he can never move on!!! OMG he spoke to another woman!!! wtf!”
Some of them are more intelligent than that, I grant you. And there are many Rose fans who can accept that there was an ‘old school’ Doctor Who, and that he will move on. I was choking on rage that Rusty D shoved in Catherine Tate at the end, because that just threw Rose away. She was deluded on the fact the he would settle down with her, yes, but that was her, and we liked her for it. That just makes her nothing. It makes all that character development nothing. It makes all that chemistry nothing. It makes his reaction “NO! ROSE! NO! IF IT’S MY LAST CHANCE TO SAY IT, ROSE TYLER- NO! *cry* NO! - wait, shiny lady in a dress!”
That is not the Doctor I know. But neither is the man who cries forever over his one true love, who happens to be a 19 year old from London.
I mean, if his true love is anyone, it’s Romana Fred.
So, I don’t know. I watch this show because I love the Doctor, and love his adventures, and all of that. No matter how that Doctor changes, I watch it because I love him.
When fanboys and fangirls start changing him for me, it’s a grave day indeed.
Oookay. Breathe.
Otherwise, Jay, you are a very clever person, and I have accquired the Rocky Horror Soundtrack, the Meaning of Life, Adrian Mole books, a Bill Bailey video and a new deep friendship with the owner of my local Newsie, who, it turns out, is also a DW fan. So I’m going to get a discount on the action figures and she’s going to start saving the DWM back for me. Hooray!
Anything else? …No, not really. Talk to me, please.
