"Aren't you a beautiful boy!"

One thing I love about Doctor Who is the out-of-the-blue moments of comedy, particularly in the form of the Doctor being cluelessly dorky. Two such examples that cracked us up from the episode "Fear Her" (these hardly count as spoilers, just being little moments): 1) his picking up the marmalade jar in someone else's kitchen and dipping his fingers in for a taste, and 2) his responding to the subject line (which, he later realized, was directed at a cat) with, "Thanks! I'm experimenting with backcombing." I'm grinning irrepressibly again in the mere typing of the words.

Which is good, and which I must focus upon, because next comes the two-part season finale of S2, and I know how "Doomsday" ends already (I totally caved and watched the last six minutes without even caring what came before), so now I'm dreading it with a pain rivaled only by my dread of the Grey Havens scene before ROTK came out. And the Grey Havens was almost less poignant because Frodo didn't *have* to leave (he just did to annoy us all), whereas Rose and the Doctor have no choice in how things end up. I shouldn't mind so much. I'm not even a shipper here! But if it hurts him, it hurts me. That, ladies and gents, is precisely how lame I have become.

Uhh, so yeah! Comment if you want to discuss fun moments and smutty fanfic that will make us all feel better. I imagine spoilers will occur, so look out below.

I want to take it slow so I don't have to run out of episodes too soon, but the dang seasons are so short!

The beach farewell in Doomsday still hurts my heart when I think of it. Having his "I love you too" cut short was a really cruel touch on the writers' part. I kind of admire them for it, actually. That took nerve. :) But the tears on his face, and the forlorn young look--guh! So beautiful. I rewound and rewatched that a dozen or so times. *is a dork*

Just a show, just a show...must keep reminding ourselves...

Aww, I know exactly what you mean! I want to go back and revisit those season two episodes. I love the Doctor and Rose. *sighs*

Doomsday is such a well-done piece of television greatness. It really was heartwrenching and poignant, and beautiful. The acting in the beach scene (and then, the Doctor in the Tardis...*wails*) was absolutely astounding.
