Pony Pep Talk Needed...ARRGGH!

[rabid1st]

I have had a premonition of a pony-free Christmas as RTD and company start giving interviews about The Next Doctor all over the interwebs.

It took hold of me for no good reason. I have no additional spoiler news or anything, so don't fret over that. Suddenly, I just saw RTD talking up something that was completely ordinary (The Next Doctor) and I thought...he's not going to come through for us. He just doesn't get it. Though he did say he's getting better at hiding information from the press and fans.

I think this sudden loss of faith comes from the confidence they are showing going to Comic Con. They have what they think is an epic finale in the bag and they are ready to face questions from the audience with no fear of influence, no possiblity of second guessing themselves. I have to wonder what sort of reception they are going to get from the fans. Obviously, there is a lot of ill will about Donna, but most of the Rose-lovers seem to have given up the ship. I don't know...maybe this has all just gone on too long for me to keep being optimistic.

Someone give me a pep talk.

Depressing Pessimists are NOT welcome!

:grin:

Why yes it is

If you're referring to the animated icon of two people kissing its of Max and Liz. How I miss them. *insert nostalgia*

I think you're right about Wilf. He knows Donna better then anyone really and I know he knows if it was left up to her she would have remained special and die and I think that's sort of why he told the Doctor thank you for bringing her back. I like that Wilf knew Rose and I would hope since Donna is not available that if given the opportunity he would call Ten on leaving her, something along the lines of "I thought you lost her but you're telling me after everything she went through you left her?"

There is some spoiler talk...

...about Wilf and I am going to put it a little lower down...














There...hopefully...that's enough room for people to avoid this bit...





SPOILERS









I've heard that WIlf has a lady friend with alzheimers in this one. Which means that Wilf will not only have lost at love before...but also that he stands to lose again...as his lady friend goes senile and dies. And so...Wilf would be the perfect person to call the Doctor a coward for running from that with Rose. I mean, I've heard a few of these long lived folks...vampires mostly...suggesting that it will be torture for them to watch their loved ones suffer and die...so they just run away. Well...excuse me...but plenty of people have had to watch their loved ones suffer and die...and we would consider it despicable for a person to abandoned their spouse of lover just because that person got a wasting illness.

Why is it any LESS cowardly and despicable of the Doctor to say..."I can't face watching you die...so here's somebody who won't have to suffer like I will...hope you enjoy him."?

really wanting Wilf to get how cowardly the Doctor has been and let him have it.

I've been so good about spoilers

but my policy is I'll know any spoilers Rae posts so this isn't breaking my rules and frankly I really hope there is some truth to these rumors. I feel it'd be true to the characters and the story to have Wilf call the Doctor out on the fact that he bemoans how he's the last of his kind and no one understands and he's always alone but when given the chance to have true happiness (even if its fleeting for him) he leaves it on a beach with a consolation prize version of himself?!

Translation, Wilf needs to slap a b*tch.

I don't go looking for spoilers...

...like searching spoiler boards. But a lot of stuff seems to be leaking out this year into the mainstream press. I think the BBC is trying to keep the show in the public eye. But also, I believe there is a ton of misinformation circulating this time, because so much of the show was filmed underground or indoors. And then they are very splashy with what leaks about guest stars.

I think...that is...I hope...that the fansites are being led around like prize ponies...and that we few are correct about what is going to happen. But, lots of people suspect we are completely wrong.

I do hope Wilf does b*tch slap the Doctor.
