07.06.08oh Doctor!
I
had been waiting on the edge of my seat all of this week for the final episode in the current season of Dr Who and now it’s all over for another series, and I am left without anything at all to watch on a saturday night. I almost wish I myself could go back in time to a point where I hadn’t seen them all and have them all on again because as we all know saturday is the most boring televisual night of the week, if you don’t count wednesdays.
The finale however was an amazing piece of television everything came together gloriously, and in the end quite tragically. David Tennant didn’t regenerate which I think was the most obvious thing that was going to happen yet had the most speculation around it and yes, I ended up quite upset by the end of the program and actually had to hold back tears, I’m a wuss though but I really don’t think it’s an easy watch viewing someone (ie: Donna, played by Catherine Tate) who has always felt they were worthless as a person save the world (for the 3rd time) and then have to have all of the memories that actually make her feel like she is worthwhile erased, that plus there is very little scope now for her character to return which is a shame because she actually ended up being my second favorite companion even after initial doubts, and if I’m honest she even almost caught up with Rose in terms of likeability for me.
Speaking of Rose, she got quite a happy ending which was nice though I also feel was a very clever way of Russell T Davies to allow for David Tennant’s return even if the current doctor were to regenerate, though Tennant’s return is something I myself wouldn’t grumble about. I guess that is it now until the christmas special, which see’s the return of ‘The Cybermen’ something that seems exciting but actually I can’t say I’m that pleased about, the repetition of baddies is getting a little old but I’ll let it pass because after all it will be a welcomed return of the program.
However I’m confined to having nothing at all to watch on a weekend now, and nothing at all to speculate about during the week. The weather has been terribly dim these past few days and I’ve had no money at all to go out and do anything which makes the rest of summer seem like it is going to be horribly boring, but hopefully I will be wrong, I have been before.
