rynneSo today I rewatched the DW S4 DVD extra "The Journey So Far", which is about the evolution of the series. There were a bunch of lovely new Doctor/Rose quotes from the production team, so I decided to transcribe them since I haven't seen anyone else do it yet. But this extra is definitely worth a watch. :D
Julie Gardner, on Rose in Dalek: She's the one woman, the one human, that can make him better, that can make him a bigger character, a better man.
RTD: As Rose learns about the universe, the Doctor learns about a different sort of universe from Rose. [cut to "What use are emotions if you will not save the woman you love?" scene in Dalek]
JG, on Rose in The Christmas Invasion: Rose, of course, was suspicious, because she absolutely adored, loved Christopher Eccleston's Doctor. [cut to scene of Rose crying in Jackie's arms in TCI.] So, she had to fall in love with him again, which was kind of, I guess, the experience for the audience. (Thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seagryphon, for letting me know what that word was.)
RTD: One of the most important things about School Reunion is what it actually says about the Doctor and Rose, about how long you can be with a man who lives forever, if you're going to get old and die and he won't. [cut to Rose asking "Do I stay with him?" and Sarah Jane answering "Yes. Some things are worth getting your heart broken for."]
DT, on Doomsday: And at the same time, you've got the conclusion of this incredible emotional storyline as well. [cut to Rose's "I love you" on the beach.]
Phil Collinson: The performances of Billie and David are just, just transcendental, really. [cut to the Doctor's "Rose Tyler..." and fading away, and Rose crying.] They were magnificent on that beach, and it felt like real pain, and real drama, the truest drama, about, about two lovers, really, who are being torn apart. And for that to be happening, in the middle of a big daft old sci-fi show at seven o'clock, was a magnificent achievement, and really showed where this show could go.
RTD: Then with series four, we've done the great story of the Doctor and Rose, we've done poor Martha's unrequited love, it's sort of like, it was time to put a "best mate" on board the TARDIS. [cut to various scenes of the Doctor and Donna saying they're not a couple.]
JG: But Russell T Davies is just a bad man. We've waited for so many seasons for Rose to finally find the Doctor--it's that amazing smile, I think, that Billie has, a big close up when she first sees him that kind of says everything. And that run, I love that run. His run is so beautifully fast and therefore so romantic. [voiceover on the running scene in The Stolen Earth.] And of course it all goes wrong, of course it does, the Daleks were always there, to scupper a bit of romance, and hope.
DT, on Bad Wolf Bay Redux: You want to give a resolution to this storyline that has gone on for four years, really. You want to give Rose a conclusion and an end to her journey. [voiceover on Rose kissing Ten II.]

Date: 2009-01-17 01:04 am (UTC)They make me both very happy: Doctor/Rose shippers showing their shippy side!
But they also make me sad: You want to give a resolution to this storyline that has gone on for four years, really. You want to give Rose a conclusion and an end to her journey
No more Doctor/Rose.
I'm conflicted.

Oh, David Tennant, you can't fool me. This is clearly pandering to the conspiracy, to throw us all off the scent of that amazing TenII/Rose in Pete's World special that you are obviously planning. Because I say so.

*pats RTD* oh, you know not what you do when you say things like that ;)

And David is so tall! But yes, it is romantic and I love the entire crew because they are big damn shippers.

You can't fool me David, I know you're a shipper! I've watched the confidentials.
