But I wanted to say this too. And it's short.
How can a single thing make me so happy and so sad at exactly the same time? Gah! It's maddening really. I'm happy for 10.5 & Rose but sad for Ten & Rose, sad he didn't give either of them a choice in the matter, sad that he's left all on his own again. But I'm happy about all those other reasons I've talked about in previous posts. So really, how can I be both happy and sad about the same thing at the same time? It doesn't make sense, that.
I can honestly say that I've never had a fandom that has taken me on so many ups and downs, highs and lows and made me cry tears of both happiness and heartbreak. I mean it's a TV show for crying out loud! But a brilliant one at that. I think I might be crashing from a Who-high. I expect this will pass in a day or so after I've reached a certain level of acceptance and closure for it. I'm just not quite there yet.
And when did I become so emotional and vocal about these things? *ponders*

It happened after Doomsday as well and I think I'll have that to go through that again thinking about watching s1 & s2 eps. And of course s4, but I don't think I'll be able to watch anything with Donna without thinking of what happened with her in Journey's End.
Another part might be the uncertainty of what's to come and we've got such a long wait for it. I still feel the need for a bit more closure or follow-up.

Date: 2008-07-09 06:13 pm (UTC)I think the reason this is even harder to get over than Doomsday is that we had to wait a week between each intallment. We've been psyched up for this finale for almost 4 months and that's a huge height to descend from afterwords...and we didn't really descend. Most of us fell with a mighty thud. :)
Yeah, I couldn't watch Doomsday for a couple weeks. I think I'll leave this whole season alone for a while. I haven't had any desire to rewatch it yet. I'll just enjoy my icons. :)

Date: 2008-07-08 06:13 pm (UTC)Amen! That is what I keep telling myself and yet I continue to live for this said television show. Weird, isn't it?
I remember after watching Doomsday for the first time I was literally depressed for about a week afterwards. I would be sitting at my desk at work when the images from the episode came into my head and I would stare at my computer monitor in a depressed stupor. It's very strange.
I wasn't as depressed as that after this one but I was a little depressed. The saddest thing was Donna fo' sho'.
I think the only solution is that this show and these characters are downright magical.
