Okay, with that out of the way, I have to say...oh my FREAKIN' God! This episode absolutely proves my theory that finding out who the bad guy is, or whatever rumor you hear about who or what is in it, totally does not diminish a show. The "spoilers" we get aren't real spoilers at all because they don't spoil the actual important part of the episode. It's the how and why that never seems to get leaked because it doesn't seem important which ends up being the most important of all.
I've been scouring for spoilers this whole season, and no amount of hearing about Davros' return, or that the planets were stolen, or even that the Doctor gets shot down, could have ever prepared me for that episode. All you RTD haters can suck it after what I just witnessed. Don't like it? Oh well, it's my blog and my rant. I challenge anyone to honestly say that was a horrible episode or that RTD is a horrible writer after that without first admitting that they just hated it because RTD wrote it and dismissed it before it even aired. I've heard complaints of too much shouting. Well, guess what. Explosions, earthquakes, and total anarchy are going to make people yell.
But oh, good ol' Davros was disturbingly calm, which made for a lot of goosebumps on my part, I tell ya. Can't wait to see him start ranting like he has a habit of doing. And Caan! Oh my goodness, Dalek Caan has gone, if you'll pardon the phrase, batshit crazy. He looked like he's gone through hell and back, so I don't honestly blame him for losing his mind.
I must admit, I gave out a huge cheer when Harriet Jones said that she developed the sub-wave with the Mr. Copper Foundation. Mr. Copper did good with that money and kept his promise to the Doctor. Good man.
Of course, the question on everyone's mind is, if David Tennant is contracted to do the upcoming four holiday specials, how can he regenerate now? What's going on?
Well, I don't know, but I have a theory. It's not that thought-out, and I don't have any proof of this, so nobody go off of what I'm saying as fact (like a lot of people have done with other rumors around, deciding that because they read it somewhere, it was true). My theory is that Davros somehow has found a way to stop the Doctor's regeneration, in hopes that it would make the Doctor die permanently. So, the regeneration stops and the Doctor lays dying on the floor of the TARDIS.
Now, we know there's something special about Donna. Characters in the show keep mentioning that. Did you hear the heartbeat? Hmm. People think it was the Master's drums, but I don't think so. I think whatever it is that makes Donna special could be used, in my theory, to save the Doctor's life, at great expense to her own. In other words, the total loss of it. RTD is good at tying up loose ends. This theory of mine solves three mysteries in one action: How is Donna special, how does the Doctor not end up regenerating so it stays as David Tennant, and which of the companions Dalek Caan is speaking of when he says that one of them will die. It also solves how Donna leaves the Doctor's side when she swore absolutely that she never would. I don't think at this point in time that she'd pull a Martha and decide that it's not worth it anymore. The situations are just completely different. No jealousy, no love unrequited, no feeling second best to other companions. It just makes sense in my mind. Whether or not it happens, nobody knows. I'm fairly sure RTD can think of something. I may be a writer, but I've never been published, let alone earned an OBE from the Queen of England, so I'm sure he knows what he's doing better than I do. I still do maintain, however, that if he doesn't write in the Doctor telling Rose he loves her by the end of next week's episode, I'll hunt him down and, as the British slang goes, "twat" him one. Well, no, I won't because I like not going to jail, but you get my meaning.
And in conclusion, two years of waiting was well worth this...
That look...oh that look of utter joy. Thank you to the whole Who Crew, from David, to Russell, to Graeme, to the camera men, to the lighting crew, to Murray and his beautiful music. Just...thank you, from the bottom of my fangirly heart. I love you all.
