After seeing The Stolen Earth last Saturday, I have been having trouble sleeping. At 2 am, I find myself sitting on the sofa and staring at space whilst shoveling food in my mouth, again, thinking about what will happen next. I mean, Rose absorbed the time vortex and brought Jack back to life in The Parting of the Ways, then she "dies" and was trapped in a parallel universe after narrowly escaping being sucked into the void in The Story of How Rose Tyler Died (Yes yes, I know the episode is called Doomsday, but I can't get my head around that title instead.), then Jack and the Doctor was tortured for a year before being saved by thoughts in the last series, what more can the writer think up?
I am going crazy with oh so many questions...whoever shall replace David Tennant when the Doctor regenerates? Did he actually regenerate? Didn't he look too healthy? Wasn't Harriet Jones' sudden return and unsolicited assistance just a little suspect? Although I still find that introduction of hers very cute and not a bit annoying. But they never actually showed her being killed and in soap operas, that is usually a telltale sign that someone survived. Following that train of thought, and if the spoilers out there are right that Harriet was a pawn of a trap for the Doctor, that means the Osterhagen key given to Martha was actually useful since Harriet prohibited its use.
What about the unresolved plotlines of the series? They usually package the series and tie it up with a bow, all neat and pretty, so I'm thinking appearances by Jenny and River Song, if not in Journey's End, then in the next series? What about Donna's stuttering husband?
So, so far, at this moment, this is my thought, until the next hour, this is what I believe will happen. Mickey and Jackie will be appearing, and they won't be the bumbling idiots needing to be saved this time. So I guess they'll be doing some saving with Pete and Jake? And will we have a glimpse of Baby Tyler? And how about Donna, what loss will come to her? Her family, her memories, her form? When Rose told her that she was the most important person last time, was it only for that episode? What is still on her back? And Martha, will she ever get married to that dreamy Thomas Milligan? And Jack, well I'm not as worried about him since he turned immortal. And same with Sarah, I mean obviously they will live, otherwise there would be no spin-offs anymore. How could there be a The Sarah Jane Adventures without Sarah Jane. And how about Torchwood with just Gwen, Ianto and Rhys?! Maybe Martha would join them since there is no more Doctor Owen Harper.
It was so pleasant seeing all recent characters together, although when I saw Rose and the Doctor start running towards each other, I just knew something bad was going to happen, so there was a little predictability too. For anyone who still hopes that Rose Tyler will be becoming Mrs. Rose Who in the future, I feel a little bad for you because I have just narrowly escaped your predicament. After The Story of How Rose Tyler Died, of course I was devastated and had a hard time accepting that they will never see each other again. Their goodbye kept running around my head all throughout the third series. But after Billie Piper kept appearing in this series, I prepared myself for the fact that they will have to say goodbye again, and may not even have the chance to. The appeal of Doctor Who is that he can live on forever, so expect further revivals of Doctor Who if you live to be a 100 years old. As a consequence though, a permanent companion is a no no, therefore each companion must have a memorable ending, or a spin off.
I am sort of thinking that Rose is the most faithful companion who will die this Saturday. I think the Doctor will be able to say I love you and then she will die. There is no other bigger ending for Rose that I can think of.
Whatever may happen, I just can't wait. The suspense is killing me.
