The End of My Doctor Who Happiness

[rabid1st]

Don't even try to talk me out of it!

Now is the time for patting my head and offering me cyber sympathy. I am stewing in depression and despair and I have cast out hope. I went to David Tennant Dot Com and (as I had expected would happen soon) the new companion is featured for Children in Need. Yes, I knew it was coming. No, that doesn't make me feel any better about it.

SIGH!

I know, I know...the world marches on...time and tide and all that rubbish. I heard Sarah Jane's little speech about the circle of life ever turning and I know many people are thrilled to see the new horizon ahead. But I wanted more time with Rose. And I still do. I want her and Ten to appear on Torchwood. I want a feature film reunion. I simply cannot work up any excitment about the new girl. She fills me with a sense of abiding dread. And I fear my beloved show will never be the same again. I want to watch S3 for David...but can my poor heart bear to see him smiling happily down on a non-Rose face? I don't know.

SIGH!

Looked at another way

...I, too, bought Sarah Jane's speech. Only I take it as maybe it's time for ME to move on...I won't cling to a show that is no longer fulfilling my basic needs. I am reminded of the bitter Buffy/Angel fans and have no desire to become one of them. It is healthy to move on to new things when you no longer are happy with a show. And I wish only to retain my glowing good feelings for what we once had...the Doctor/Rose/Russell and ME. ;->

I think that's a very intelligent decision. There's no point in following any show (or any fandom) if it's no longer a pleasure, or if the pleasure is so mixed that you aren't sure. This is obviously not a change in the storyline that can or will be 'fixed' - though goodness knows what they plan, if they're talking about a movie with Rose in it.
