After watching this episode, I think the angst is now on the verge of being gratuitous
I'm really starting to agree with you there. I know next weeks ep is supposed to be really funny and happy, but I hope after that it doesn't get all angsty/emo-Doctor again.
RTD keeps saying that Doctor Who is about hope, but I see no hope in Rose, Mickey, and Jackie coming back just to leave again so soon, and more importantly, I don't see the point.
I completely agree with you there. Bringing her back just to cause so much more pain and suffering serves no purpose.
Her choosing to stay would also, I think, be an appropriate pay-off to all the angst, as well as all the narrative build-up her return is getting.
Mmm, I totally agree. It would sort of level it out, and make more sense.
I do think the Companionpalooza will help, but that it's Rose who will be the biggest agent of change.
Mmm! I think, all the angst and the pain - it all leads up to Rose coming back. They planned that she was - so maybe that's why they've done so much angst, 'cause they know there'll be a payback? If she stays, she'll shift the whole feel of the show back to something less-angsty. Looking at the different possibilities, I really do think Rose staying is the best one.
