Escaping back to the Doctor Who fandom

[drakyndra]

Does it amuse anyone else that a whole bunch of people who were going on about this season appeared to have no through thread or character arc now seem to be claiming the whole thing is full of "anvils" for Rose's death.

Then again, most of these people were the ones that were convinced that Rose wasn't leaving CERTAINLY, NO, SHE SAID SHE WAS IN SERIES THREE!

It's just...amusing. And rather ironic.

Though I still stand by my Big Damn Decoy claim. So I suppose the writers are getting what they aimed for, in a sense...


Also, on account of Love & Monsters, I have now gone and downloaded a bunch of ELO songs. They're great! *doesn't know how she should feel about this*

ETA: Oh, DWM came early! *pounces on preview of final eps*

Now, if Rose actually does die by anvil, then I'll be impressed.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Anvils fall, Rose dies?

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

Something like that. ;)


(and all right. I give in. I'm going to ask, because I feel like a moron about this, and it's got to stop even if I look stupider for asking. ;) Where DID the "rocks fall, everyone dies" joke start, anyway?)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I really have no idea - it was just one of those things that just kept coming up on f_w.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

all right... good. I feel slightly less dumb.

Anything good in the magazine, then? ;)

*points to comments to Nos about the final two parter*

Oh, and there's a 14 year old girl on about how the Doctor shouldn't kiss anyone who isn't Rose in the letters page.

You don't know me and I don't know you, but "rocks fall, everyone dies". ^_^

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

that explains a lot. :)

Also, tis' an AD&D joke that goes way back.

And no one believed any previous claims taht it was All About Her Leaving. Woe.

Gossips? GOSSIPS!

Poor Nos. At least you can do the "I was right" dance now.

Gossips? GOSSIPS!

There's a picture of Tennant in those old-fashion 3d glasses. And there's Cybermens with big guns. Um... It's mostly set in Torchwood. Jackie has trip in the TARDIS. There's some mysterious Sphere at Torchwood, that freaks people out. "Like it's forbidden" (Recognise where that quote has been before?) And I think it implies that Torchwood catches the Doctor. And Rose, Jackie and the Doctor all have their lives at stake.

Oh, and Rusty already knows how S3 ends.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Oh, the dance... mind, now everyone thinks Rose is gonna die.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

It'll be interesting to see what happens when she doesn't.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

i think the word "wank" sums it up

Suddenly all I can picture is season 1 Alias and the GIANT ORANGE BALL OF DOOM.

...and I shouldn't even have gone there. the last thing the world needs is me writing an Alias/Doctor Who crossover. because it might just involve Will and Ten and Sark for good measure and Marshall going into fits of geeker glee inside the TARDIS and why am I thinking about this again?

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

Hey, it totally is. But it's full of anvils for everything.

I want her to die, then come back, then leave. Because that would just be fun in awful ways. That, or she just up and leaves after saving the world by herself.

And I figured she'd go by the end of the series. Seemed right, somehow.

Who are ELO? Hmm.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I am wondering about what happens this finale. It'll be interesting, to say the least. But yes, it does have the time to go vibe about it. "It's time to go...Rose."

ELO = Electric Light Orchestra, aka the band Elton was dancing to in L&M.

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

Electric Light Orchestra... My mum loves them, and I think we have a DVD somewhere. I should see if I do know them.

Yeah, Rose has had enough time. I kind of want it to be her decision, though, as anything less will set off the fangirls.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty certain it will be her decision - have been since School Reunion. The second the Doctor said he wouldn't leave her, I knew it'd come down to her leaving him.

Though, no matter what happens, the fangirls will be set off. Especially since some are insisting on the great tragic death scene, followed by floods of angst and tears. Which ain't gonna happen.

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

The fangirls who want her dead are quite lovely. I tend to think of them as sobbing into a handkerchief and saying the Doctor will never love again.

I want the finale to be here already, but not before Fear Her (as I'm also curious about that ep).

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

I have much old-skool ELO love. I fully blame my dad for that.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I had never heard them before. Woe.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Well, now you're changing all that.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

They truly are.
