redfiona99Doctor Who was its normal inconsistent brilliant self.
Damned if I'm not going to miss Nine though. His "death" scene was just so Nine. And right and lovely.
I'm sooooo glad they didn't kill Captain Jack, even if they did. I was not happy, even if he went in the best way possible, all guns blazing. I do hope they pick him up from the 25th Century or whichever because if ever there was someone who could pollute the timestream. (Hugs Captain Jack)
The ending, for all I'm all no kissing between Doctor and Companions, it was necessary and sweet, and gah, did I mention his speech before regenerating was so right and good? Because it was. It explained the regenerating and how he'd be him but not him and I've never felt that sense of loss of one identity before and (hugs Nine and wants to burst into tears because damn it, I liked Nine and I'm going to miss him.)
Although apparently the major memory loss only happens after unexpected regens, not ones the Doctor expects (i.e. none between 1+2,5+6 and 9+10, but huge ones between 2+3 and 7+8 which were random and traumatic events.)
I loved how and why the Doctor sent Rose away. And how when he asked Jack, Jack had exactly the same total faith and the way it was totally understandable why it didn't matter that Jack would die, but Rose shouldn't, because Jack knew what he was signing up for.
And, RTD be thanked, he got that this was and is a hippy show, the Doctor didn't use the kill everything dingsbums because he wouldn't. Kisses the Doctor and Russell T. Davies.
PS: That noise you heard was several members of the UK version of the PTC having a fit over there being an m/m kiss, mouth to mouth, before the watershed. Actually the thing they're probably having the fit about is that there's no way to complain since it appeared to be the way Captain Jack did things.
(BTW Captain Jack kissing someone is not a spoiler, him not kissing someone would be.)
In short, I loved it. Sure it wasn't perfect, but I loved it.
