timepiececlock1.) So I've re-watched the end of "The Stolen Earth" about eighteen times. Not because it's my favorite episode or anything, but because, well, you know. OTPs, and all. Ridiculously huge smiles, too. They even used the same theme music!
2.) Jumping back in time; I still haven't watched the Christmas Special from 2007, with the Titanic spaceship. I just never got around to it.
Should I? Is there any real reason to do so? I've heard no one liked it.
3.) I've been scouring![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
goin_my_way and time_and_chips for reunion fic. Overdosing on the stuff. Making up for twelve weeks of NOT watching my show when I totally should have been.
4.) for your analysis! A cut and paste of the transcript of 4x12, the ending scene.
DONNA
(softly)
Why don't you ask her yourself?
The Doctor furrows his brow, uncomprehending. A small smile spreads across Donna's face - the Doctor follows her gaze, turns around with wide eyes... and there she is, at the far end of the street - Rose. She pauses when he turns and smiles with sheer joy. The Doctor cannot believe his eyes, for the moment. He's just staring. Rose breaks into a run, and then, so does the Doctor. Rose is weighed down somewhat by her gun, but the Doctor more than makes up for this, sprinting towards her like there's nothing else he wants more, with an expression of pure exhilaration. Perhaps it is because they are both so focused on reaching each other that they do not see a Dalek move out of the shadows until the last moment.
DALEK
Exterminate!
Rose gasps in horror. The Doctor turns around, too late - the Dalek shoots at him. The death ray only skims his chest, but it's enough. He falls to the ground. Donna gasps and begins to run to him. Just in time, Jack appears in a flash of blue light and with an impressively quick surmise of the situation, uses his gun to blow the top off the Dalek. Rose dumps her gun on the floor as she finally reaches the Doctor. She kneels beside him and cradles his head in her hand.
ROSE
I've got you. It missed you. Look!
(she smiles shakily)
It's me, Doctor.
The Doctor is just about conscious - he smiles through his pain, so absolutely content just to be able to see her.
THE DOCTOR
Rose.
ROSE
(whispers)
Hi.
THE DOCTOR
(weakly)
Long time no see.
ROSE
(as though this is putting it mildly)
Yeah. Been busy, you know.
The Doctor convulses.
ROSE
(frantically)
Don't die. Oh, my God, don't die.
(whimpers)
Oh, my God, don't die.
I don't know how genuine the transcript script is, but it looks fine to me, and other people seem to take the site as genuine.
It's quite odd to read a dramatic scene out of context in script format... it definitely loses something. Or, I suppose, it gains something with the filming.
ETA: Here, have a drive-by 10/Rose vid rec! [spoilers]

Date: 2008-07-05 01:40 pm (UTC)As for "Voyage of the Damned" -- it's cheese, pure and unadulterated and while it's not one of my favorites, I had great fun with it. Does have some good bits in it and is definitely superior to "Warriors of the Deep" which remains the classic example of how not to do a DW episode.
