Damn you, Doctor Who!

You broke my heart!

**spoiler warning for those who haven’t seen the second season of the new Doctor Who but intend to**

I worked through my issues with losing the Doctor after only one season, and I know I didn’t say nice things about Rose in an earlier post about Doctor Who (mostly that she was goofy and giddy at inappropriate times in this second season) but dammit, why? Why why why? I’m guessing Billie Piper (the actress who plays Rose) must be moving on just as Christopher Eccleston did, but here I am, on my sick bed (sick couch) catching up on the last few episodes of Doctor Who and I get THIS? An episode that ends with a dramatic and emotional long-distance goodbye between the Doctor and Rose. And yes, for anyone wondering (as if you care) I did sob and cry copious tears. I think part of that was sheer bitterness that there’s going to be a new assistant, but still. I felt Rose Tyler’s pain. *sniffle* I hope the new assistant isn’t lame. And I hope we don’t have a constant merry-go-round of new Doctors and assistants because that could get old. I know the show is designed for actors to be somewhat transient but still. Have a little heart for a girl’s attachment issues.

I cried, too. I knew from my sci fi fan hubby what was going to happen. But I liked Rose . I still miss the first Doctor, who I’ve heard will appear on Heroes.

I had it on my Tivo and watched it late one night, with no one up to cry with.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one sobbing at the end! I thought this “goodbye” though, was one of the most touching I’ve ever seen in a SF show. It was really well done.

BUT – I have issues with the new chick appearing not two seconds after that heartwrenching moment. I mean, what was up with the girl in the wedding dress??? Me, personally… I needed more time to sob over the almost “I love you” before being slammed upside the head with the new chick. Didn’t you?

I don’t think the girl in the wedding dress is the new assistant, Bianca. It’s actually someone that had a bit part in an earlier show (she was the girl in Army of Ghosts who was the first to get taken over by the Cybermen)

here’s the news article I read:

:thanks: Good to know who the bride was. Sheesh. I didn’t catch that. I was so stunned by the ending, it didn’t even occur to me. Thanks for the article link. The new companion looks interesting! – B.

About Me

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general.
