But am told it's a "Hawt" thing to have..
Ok, so I am supposed to do something with it and I have no clue.
Got to go to work soon, sucks to be me, LOL..
But the pay is decent and the job isn't all that hard,
and I like the people I see most days..
That's what counts I suppose.
Watched the new Dr. Who tonight and danged if I don't really adore Donna (not going to be a popular blogger with that statement, I think) but I really do like her.
Rose was perfect for Nine, he needed someone to be enthusiastic, to see him and the worlds he could show her with fresh eyes, with an open heart and to make judgement upon him without knowing all his secrets. I liked Rose, she grew with the Doctor and she made him grow as well, but (here I go, being unpopular again, oh well) she looked at him as a kind of romantisized figure, he was her "daddy" (well, up until he took her to meet Pete anyway) figure and she needed that and Nine did as well, but after she met Pete, the romantisizing became more realistic and she started growing up...
I liked Rose, never quite took to Martha, well, she was pretty good with Shakespeare ( that might have just been the fact that the guy playing Willie boy was damn good, but), LOL, but I never really "got" her and as much as I liked Utopia and the finale of series 3, I never really bought into Martha as the "Heroic" woman (I like Heroic woman, they make the world a better place but Martha, nope, can't buy it), Rose could have done it (with a smile and a Happy dance at the end) and I am absolutely positive that Donna would have done (bitching and complaining and moaning all the way, but it would have gotten done with effiency and a minimum of time, none of this walking the earth for a flipping year crap, I think that's where they lost me with Martha as the hero, it took her a YEAR to talk about the Doctor!! I could have done it in 3 months tops, hook onto the Internet, a few well chosen words and bammo, telepathic link DONE!) but Martha had to "tell a story", oh come on, pick a town gossip, sweetie and git r DONE!!!However that leads me to: TorchWood, (yum, Captain Jack, all growed up!!) ..
Martha on Torchwood was ok, I liked her and the way they wove her into the scenery (The Doctor got her a job with Unit?? Good on him!) was well done and the interactions with Jack were nicely played, I liked Martha in Torchwood but please, please leave her out of MY Who from now on...
Which brings me back to Professer River Song, I like her, she would make a most excellent companion for any Doctor (would have like to see her with Nine though, more her age group if you know what I mean?) but Ten did good and I liked the way they played into the history of Nine by using "Everyone Lives!" as River Song's last line...
But I have wandered all over the web since watching it and nobody but me seems to be able to understand that River Song is EXACTLY the kind of woman Doctor Who would marry, she has her own career and doesn't NEED to depend on him for all the trivial day to day things but when it's important, he comes through, that has always been the MO of all the doctor's and I wouldn't think Ten is all that different, even if he isn't Ginger and he is Rude!!
Nine said it over and over again, "I don't do domestic!", and even though he did domestic in a way (Mickey, Jackie, even Alternate Peter and Captain Jack) when push comes to shove he needs at the very least the illusion of total freedom to be comfortable, to be able to save the world and all it's denizens over and over again...
In a way he is lonely but never alone, he is free but always chained, he is never guilty but always judging himself and being found wanting..
I feel sorry for him, for he is all things to his companions and nothing to himself and that must be very frustrating...
I was talking about Donna though, I like her, she is loud and distracting and tactless and to quote a southern friend, "She has her heart in the right place and her mouth in gear" and I totally "get" her..
She has reached that "age" where people give you funny looks if you aren't married and pitying ones if you are divorced without a man in sight and if you tell them you are happy they (metaphorically, for the most part) pat you one the head and SYMPATHISIZE with you.... Like she can't be happy without man candy in sight...I always think of the Blanche DeBois when people talk about woman as though they have to have a man attached to them, that went out in the 50'd people, GET OVER IT, most women (unless they are to stupid to breathe on their own) don't need a man, they are nice to have around for companionship and to get the lids off of really tight jars but just as women aren't necessary for them, they aren't necessary for women.
And that, I think is why people have a problem with Donna, she and The Doctor BOTH have made it clear that romance is the furthest thing from their minds but people keep coupling them and it frustrates them. Why do they have to be a couple?? 2 guys walking down the street and no one says "Aw, cute couple", an older woman and a young man walking and everybody says "Aw, isn't that sweet, a mother and son", an older man and a young woman and they go, "Dirty old man, wish it was me" but 2 people of the opposite sex together and people "couple" them, Bad Form!!!
Wandered a bit more than I meant too...
Going to work now..
