The Doctor's Daughter reactions... I guess.

I am incapable of thinking normally at this point: every sentence I frame becomes a macro.

SPOILERS FOR 4x06: The Doctor's Daughter.



WHY GOD WHY

Too soon ?

I will say that I did enjoy the episode- the Doctor remembering his own children, and bonding with Jenny, was really gorgeously done on Tennant's part. His face, people- his face. God, for a minute, it was like you could see him imagining her birthday parties and scaring off her first boyfriend. And then, like it does, it all comes crashing down.

Jenny- or Genny, correct me if I'm wrong- was actually very adorable and I liked her after the initial setup; her innocence and freshness played well off of an extremely world-weary Ten. And I am thrilled at the idea of seeing her again- honestly, very thrilled. That's she out there and he's out there, and someday they'll have an incredible reunion. It gives me plotty fic ideas which may or may not pan out.

But still... the parallels with the Master's death, dredging up the Gallifrey angst just to add more Gallifrey angst. And so on. I liked the story, I liked the episode, I liked the reveal of the "generations" fighting the war, I liked that Donna got some lines of win; but it left me feeling very- tired. So tired. Exhausted, and not a little sad.

I feel like the Doctor must: how many more will die ? How much more can be lost ?

Please, RTD, give us hope by the end- have some light at the end of the tunnel. And not a cheap candle, either; I expect either bright-ass fucking daylight or those superhot weed-growing lamps at the very least.

I expect to need sunglasses.

You hear me, RTD ?

um. are macros contagious?
