The End of Time
Apr. 24th, 2010 04:53 pmSo I finally watched The End of Time. I bought the damn thing on Blu-Ray but I can't get my Blu-Ray player to work, which freakin SUCKS. So I had to download the episodes even though I freaking bought them and am holding them legally in my hand.
Anyway, I watched it. I spent the last 25 minutes of the show in complete tears. The ending was good, it really was. It broke my heart and made me scream, and I was distraught. And then when we saw the other characters, I was so thrilled and happy, I really was. And when that was over, I wasn't so brokenhearted any more. That whole thing totally did the trick for me emotionally--damn these writers and their ability to completely manipulate my emotions SO beautifully! But when it came to the regeneration itself... totally in tears again. And that last line killed me.
Is this pain what it's like every regeneration? I mean, technically Ten was my first Doctor. I saw one episode of Doctor Who when I was a kid and was scared of it. And I tried to watch the first episode of Nine, but couldn't get into it. It was the Christmas special after Ten's regeneration and that whole thing (I'm sure the h/c didn't hurt) made me give the series a third chance. So I went back and watched from Nine onward after that. I loved Nine, but I knew how much I really wanted to get to Ten, so that transition was sad but not like this. I mean, I've heard great things about Eleven, but I'm so sad to see Ten go. I hurts me when good characters are no more, no matter what the circumstances are. A few minutes ago I uttered the phrase "Jesus Christ, if this is what people feel after every regeneration why the hell do people watch this show?!" lol Seriously, a show where you KNOW the main character you've grown attached to is going to leave? What was I THINKING in falling in love with this?
Maybe it's just because Ten was extra special to me, though. I can only hope.
And I really am excited to dive into Eleven's episodes.
This is kind of a nice way to spend the day, getting caught up on Who and registering/making release notes for the book festival tomorrow. I have a LOT of books left (probably 200-300 left) but I've got 3-4 more Doctor Who episodes to go.
And it's certainly a good way to forget that, for the second frelling year in a row, my family promised to take me to my favorite restaurant for my birthday and then canceled on me. Kiiiiiiiiiiinda pissed about that. Once was bad enough, but two times in as many years? Yeah. This is why, once again, I must remind myself to not rely on anyone else to make me happy.
Though speaking of happy, did I mention that Xanthe gave me permission to play in her NCIS-verse? OMG OMG OMG I am SO thrilled about that. It's all I can do to get this work done before really, seriously working on the fic I started in that universe. I can't wait. Idealy, I have 3 stories I want to get done before the Lusty Month of May starts, but I dunno how realistic that is.
Anyway... my eyes hurt. My face hurts. So much crying! TEN! *whimper*
