Doctor Who Confidential

[topaz]

This message will make little sense or interest to you if you are not slavishly following Doctor Who, as I am.  Those of you who are, you probably want to skip this posting until after you have seen Partners in Crime.

!!??!? ROSE ?!??!?

That is all.  Thank you.

Heh, yeah, even knowing that she was supposed to be coming back this season, that shot caught me by surprise.

Stupid LJ inbox and it's lack of respecting cut tags. :( I haven't seen season 3 yet. *curses at LJ*

I haven't seen it yet, but I did read an article saying that Rose would be back for a guest shot on a few episodes this season.

We don't get BBC one, only BBCAmerica and they are still on last seasons eps. We wont be able to see it until it hits SCiFi channel later this month.

We don't get ANY cable beyond basic. That's why the good Lord invented BitTorrent :)

We did not know at all. "Gobsmacked" is the most appropriate term here, I think.

Oh. Hm. I mean --- goodness, why on EARTH did she give him a rose there? What's up with that?

Right, that's what I meant!

Hee! No worries. I do hope they decide that they want to fix that inbox bug though.

I try to avoid spoilers anyway so I had no clue. Fortunately for me keyne missed this spoiler too, so we were both shouting at the screen in complete and utter whatthefuckiness. (Thank goodness we didn't wake the boys.)

Dude.

I waited to read this until after I'd seen that episode. I agree completely: what the fuck? Is she actually dead and ghosting? Is she doing some weird transdimensional thing?

Ditto; just watched it tonight. And I too had not heard Rose would be appearing. Gobsmacked indeed.

(Really, I try to avoid all such news in advance; it's usually more fun not to know. Although I did know about Catherine Tate and, since I'm not fond of her character Donna, I'm glad I could "brace myself" in advance. She was less annoying than in "The Runaway Bride", but still annoying. On the up side, maybe we'll finally get a companion as simple traveling partner, with no romantic overtones or undertones. The "in love with the Doctor" thing is one of several ruts that Russell T. Davies is in. IMNSHO.)

All I can say is, they better have a good explanation.

I really hope they don't go there with Donna but I'm afraid my confidence is not high. I agree that's it's an unfortunate pattern for them to have fallen into.

I didn't mind it so much with Rose because it was actually sort of fresh there, but I'm ready for it to be over. The Doctor telling Donna explicitly "I just want a mate" does not bode well.
