Oh, Adric.

I'd heard that Adric was annoying, but I liked him. Admittedly, I haven't seen that many serials with him (this was only the fifth), but I liked him a lot. I knew he was going to die in this one before I watched it, and pretty much how, but it was still very sad. Especially how the Doctor couldn't say anything at the end. Oh, Doctor.

And how Adric started the serial wanting to go home, except not really--he just wanted to be appreciated. You know, even if I didn't know Adric was going to die at the end, I would have figured that something was going to happen, because of the threat to leave and then recanting it. And my heart broke a little for the Doctor when he asked Adric if he still wanted to leave and Adric said no. It's so obvious, even in the old series, that the Doctor hates being left behind (I noticed it with Jo too, but Jo, Susan, Sarah Jane, and now Adric are the only classic companion departures I've seen, so there might be more emotion from him that I don't know about).

I WANT THE DOCTOR TO STOP LOSING PEOPLE. Just...someone needs to stay. Oh, Doctor.

The only Tegan I've seen is Logopolis, Castrovalva, The Visitation, and now Earthshock, but even just based on The Visitation and Earthshock, I can...rather see Five/Tegan. More on his side than hers, though, which is sorta funny. But I don't think I can ship, if only because I also know how Tegan leaves. (This is one reason I appreciate Rose. She'd also been through a lot of crap, knew there would be more in the future, and still wanted to spend her life with him. I hope that hasn't changed, because I want the Doctor to STOP LOSING PEOPLE.)

I really like Nyssa. (And omg, her hair is curlier than mine! This is a real feat, since mine is quite curly. My hair's longer, though, so maybe it's just weight dragging it...I wouldn't say straighter, since my hair is never straight, but wavier, I guess.)

Old School Cybermen look ridiculous. This is the third Cybermen serial I've seen, and I've always noticed how ridiculous they look. Oh, Doctor Who, I am so amused at your special effects. *g*

Also, a bit from the Radio Times RTD interview, with a bit from the mid-series trailer.


"Just wait until you see his [the Doctor's] face when he claps eyes on her again! She was always very special to him, but I don't think he realizes how much until he learns of her return."

*makes grabby hands*

I want this moment! I REALLY want this moment! Of course, I loved that bit in the trailer when he affirms that no matter what, Rose coming back is good, but from the moment I saw that, I just really, really wanted to see him learn that she's returning. I want to see his face, the way he acts. I WANT SOME HAPPINESS, DAMMIT. (And I think we are likely to get it, considering that lovely "yeah" in the trailer!)

*BOUNCES*

Also, like shinyopals pointed out, if he didn't realize how special she is to him throughout S1, S2, and S3, and only realizes when he sees her again...just wow. I mean, seriously? I'm going to cling to Julie Gardner's statement that he was going to say "I love you" on Bad Wolf Bay, so he knows he loves her. (Well, I always figured he knew even before he regenerated, but that would be proof. And I'm not going to worry about how RTD says that unfinished sentence is going to come up again. Nope!) So if he's been underestimating how strongly he feels about her...eeeeee. This is going to be so epic.

Also, if he separates them again after this, I AM GOING TO BE SO MAD. It's just cruel. The Doctor's had enough shit in his life without being separated again from the woman he loves right after he realizes just how much he loves her. I am trying not to be nervous about the finale, but I don't think I can help it. *sigh*

The Doctor needs some happy! And he needs to stop losing people!
