Doctor Who 4x13



[livejournal.com profile] such_heights in shock finale-liking scandal! God. Without even looking at many reaction posts I already know this makes me out to be some weak and feeble fangirl. Pfft. I will freely admit that having only seen it once I will have missed finer points, compounded by both alcohol and watching it with a whole crowd of other people (omg. so much fun.), but all the same. Squee, I has it! Please not to be harshing it in this particular post, thank you kindly. 10 points, off the top of my head, on 'Journey's End'.

01. There was so much hugging in this! Yay! A couple we were denied, but mostly speaking, loooots of hugging which was made of yay. Rose & Martha possibly my favourite, eeee. (Girlslash now, plz?)

02. On that note, EVERY COMPANION FLYING THE TARDIS. I DIED OF GLEE.

03. Mickey! Jackie! Just seeing them was fantastic, and omg Mickey in Torchwood? WITH MARTHA? *goes boom* I really didn't want to believe those rumours in case they were too good to be true. Other people are 'meh' about this, I know, but I think it's FANTASTIC, so there we are. Plus, to be honest, it's sensible in terms of writing for the shortened Torchwood S3.

04. Jack and Martha, bffs, ftw once more!

05. Tosh saving Gwen and Ianto! That's my woman! ♥ ♥ ♥

06. I adored the way they took the arcs of What It Is to be a companion and What It Is to be the Doctor and really blew them outwards in such a direct way. I've been thinking and thinking about what was said in this episode and I still haven't got it all sorted. Brain food, mmmm, so tasty. Loved all that.

07. Time Lady!Donna! NEVER HAVE I SEEN SUCH AN AMAZING THING IN ALL MY DAYS ON THIS EARTH. Aaaaaaaaah!!!! I want to watch those bits FOREVER AND EVER, and undoubtedly shall over the coming months.

08. I know I'm forgetting a whole bunch of other things that were fantastic. Oh! Jack's imagined fourway with the various Doctors, hahahaha, I can has that fic now please? And oh there was a massive laugh at the screening I was at with his INCREDIBLY PHALLIC bit of TARDIS flying. Oh, Jack. (Needed moar snuggles with his team post-Daleks, but alas.)

09. I am still thinking on the whole Rose/alt!Doctor thing, have yet to get my head around it. Veeeery interesting, though.

10. Oh, and most importantly, DONNA. D: There's a distinct possibility I'm never really going to recover, Jesus.

I AGREE WITH THE ENTIRETY OF THIS POST, down to and including the fact that I feel like the only person in fandom who enjoyed it. As [livejournal.com profile] ignipes said in above comment, we can form a scandalous finale-liking club.

DONNA. WHYYYY. Aside from that (and the obvious emotional trauma and turmoil of pinstripes!Doctor, who I think will always harbor resentment toward bluesuit!Doctor because he gets to be with Rose), I loved most everything about this ep. Especially Companion Awesome and the phrase "You make human beings into weapons."

Jack's imagined fourway with the various Doctors, hahahaha, I can has that fic now please?
I'm already working on a 10/Jack/10.5 sandwich. Donna may or may not end up in there as well. I think I still owe you a birthday fic, so...we'll see about that. :D
