bonny_kateI finally watched the finale of season 4 of Dr. Who. I haven't got words. Alright, I have words, but I don't want to use *those* words.
that both Donna and Rose are gone. I mean, Rose has to go through all that again with the Doctor, but it *isn't* the Doctor. I mean, it would be like Angel turning human. Even if he had all the same memories, even if all that was the same, he wouldn't, couldn't be content to suddenly turn human. What would he do without superpowers? Same principle. If the Doctor doesn't have two hearts, if he can't regenerate, if he doesn't have a TARDIS, if he *ages* like normal people, is he really the Doctor?
And then Donna, who was brilliant, and even *more* brilliant at the very end. It was like *she* was suddenly the perfect Time Lord. But it's *worse* than if they killed her off, because now she can't ever know. She's back to that self that she hated. She's back to just being a temp, and she can't ever know that she saved the world.
I would be much happier at this point if they *had* killed off Donna. Well, not that I would be happy, of course.
It was so *sad*, and I cried, not just a little bit, but really cried. I mean, I *never* cry for movies. The only movies I've ever cried for were Secondhand Lions, and the bit in Ever After where she's in the rain, and the season finale of seven of Buffy. I am now officially mad and will go into denial, like I have with season five of Angel.
Now that I have used up all my astericks for the day, I shall go bake cookies. Apple applesauce oatmeal cookies.
