January 3rd 2010 - Doctor Who overload.

Okay, so I really don't know how much longer I can keep up writing 2010 at the end of every post-title, because the 1 key on my computer makes a really weird clacking noise every time I touch it. It makes me cringe, but it's one of those things that you keep doing, y'know? Like when you keep stabbing yourself with a pen even though it hurts... but maybe that's just me and that's just one of the dorky things I do :S Most likely the latter in fact.
So, I realised today that I've completely forgotten to post my thoughts on the last Doctor Who episodes :O Shock -- horror! I basically thought it was amazing, even though I missed the first 10 minutes (there's r=that 1 again :/) of the first episode so was sorta confused through that one, and I can't seem to find it anywhere online - if you know a site, please comment!! - but still, it just broke my heart how afraid the Doctor was the whole way through it, and how on edge he was because of knocking. Plus I'm far too in love with David Tennant, so the last episode was like saying goodbye to him, I wept. To tell the truth I cried like the whole way through, the scenes between Wilf and the Doctor were just heart-wrenching, it was unbearable.
I got a little bit lost with the whole Gallafrey/Time Lord return thing as well, because I totally thought they'd all been wiped out in the time war, and then if they were in the locked bubbly thing, how did the diamond get out?! And how did the signal cause some sort of rift to let them through? So many questions! In that sense, I think it could've been done better, but I think the emotional scenes were so perfect! Especially the one with the parallel of the gun when he keeps switching between the Master and Rassilon or whoever he was, I thought that was really good, just the look on his face was superb, Tennant acts with every atom of his body and he's just so wonderful. I can't believe he's leaving!
And then, oh my God when he went on a rage at Wilf when he was locked in the glass cupboard thing, with the four knocks, and the sheer look of dread on his face, that really set off the water works. I'm such a dork to cry at Doctor Who and mourning a fictional charcter but, wow, I challenge anyone not to shed a tear at that. I also think the imagery of that glass cage was fantastic, because it illustrates his entrappment and the fact that he can't escape... it portrayed the inevitabilty (word?) of his death so well, I salute you Russell Davies!
And then at the end when he visits everyone, it was awful. And oh my god oh my god oh my god I was so happy to see Rose again! And SOO happy that they didn't muck that bit up, because when they started showing him going through mickey and martha (I actually don't know why but that didn't surprise me at all, like I kinda knew it was coming), and Donna at her wedding, I was really worried that they'd screw up Rose or even if they'd do it at all. Then I thought how are they going to fit it in without there being 2 doctors at the same time, it was odd, plus the fact she's now in a whole other universe made it impossible to see her in the present. But yeah, when he was like "you're going to have a good year" I just broke down, and then he regenerated and said :I don't want to go" OH MY GOODNESS! David Tennant I love you :( Also I really loved the Alonso/Captain Jack scene, no matter how star wars it was :D
Ugh. I'm devastated that David Tennant's leaving, but even worse, they've replaced him with a travesty! I really dislike Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor; I don't like his big nose, or his silly little bow ties, or the way he says geronimo or his rubish hair, or come to think of it his RUBBUSH looks. Hate hate hate with a supreme passion! Then again, I didn't think Tennant would be that good after Eccleston but he turned out to be the best Doctor ever, so maybe I should cut him some slack and give him a chance...
Plus, the new guy whose writing it now is the one who did Blink and some of the other scarier episodes, which should be really good because I really like horror :D But the on the down side, will we get enough emotion from them? Ah it's all too controversial and I've already ranted for so long just about Doctor Who. It's funny, me and my friend had a proper debate about it a while ago because we're just nerds like that :D Oh well, maybe I'll just leave it there and wait til Spring to see what becomes of it...
Anyway, welcome to my last day of freedom! Yes, I go back to school tomorrow, and that's where all the drama of exams will set in and I will go into a crazy overdrive of stress. It's scary to think that these modules are like the start of my career. In just over a week I will be on my way to... life? That doesn't make much sense but ahh you know what I mean. This holiday has gone way too fast, It feels like Christmas didn't even come this year! How was all of yours by the way?
And YIPEE! New series of Hustle starts tomorrow! I'm praying that Danny and Stacey will come back, but I think it'll be the same two people from last year, who were pretty cool to give them credit, but I just love Danny Blue, he's ace :D Whoever it is, they're who I'll be escaping to when I come home deflated from my disastrous day at school. Wish my luck friends :)
Laterss xx
