Okay, I'm in denial about that last scene. Logical denial because I just...it's like when Owen died that first time on Torchwood. My narrative instincts were screaming that he wasn't going to stay dead (yet). I have that exact same feeling now, that this isn't the way we lose Ten. It is possible that I am simply not coping and I will be rending garments and howling to the skies next week (before I get over it, OMG NOT YET DONT LEAVE ME DAVID TENNANTS FRECKLES). It just doesn't feel right as 'end of Ten' to me. Fucking hell, I don't know how they get out of it...but I HAVE HOPE DAMMIT DO NOT CRUSH MY HOPE YET (no spoilers, no spoilers, OMG NO SPOILERS)
And the rest. Jesus fuck, that was like companion porn. God how clever and beautiful and brilliant they all were. From Donna and her filling in the pieces for the Doctor and being so strong and determined, to Martha Made of Awesome Jones rocking the UNIT with her promotion and her being trusted with the fate of humanity (as well she should be) keeping it together in the face of destruction and teleporting HOME OMG, to Jack and his plucky band of brave little toasters in Torchwood (pause for a moment of over the top OTP squeeing about Jack and Ianto and OT3ness with Gwen), to Wilf and his paintball gun (fine, he's not officially a companion, fuck you he counts), to Sarah Jane, so fiercely protective of Luke and willing and ready defender of the Earth (Mr. Smith is awesome shoutout here), and Rose crossing universes with her big ass gun, and HARRIET JONES OMG HARRIET JONES BEING BRILLIANT AND IN CHARGE AND GOD THAT WAS A GOOD DEATH A REALLY GOOD DEATH I LOVE YOU HARRIET JONES FORMER PRIME MINISTER.
THE DOCTOR'S ARMY FTW, OMG SERIOUSLY.
And, okay...I know I'm supposed to be tired of the Daleks, but I'm not. Especially not like this. Davros is actually kind of creeping me out for real. And the OTTness of stealing piles of planets and putting them one second out of time and massive flying armies of DOOM against an alien sky on a familiar world complete with explosions in an apocalyptic orgy of OMFG...yeah, I'm good. I'm so good.
I think I'm not going to be reading any episode reactions or communities or any Who related posts for a bit. Because I could seriously give a shit less about the things I know fandom is going to get wankily wanktastic about right now. DID YOU SEE THE PART WHERE ALL THE COMPANIONS ARE AWESOME AND IMPORTANT AND THEY ARE GOING TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE WITH THEIR AWESOME? I DID AND THAT IS THE POINT OF WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW FOR ME AND NOTHING ELSE.
