Cheated and defeated.


That sucked.

I'm too pissed of to write a proper review. [livejournal.com profile] nostalgia_lj has said some stuff already, as has [livejournal.com profile] lizbee, and I haven't had time to go read what other people are saying.

From my p.o.v., only just having come to love love love this show in the past half-season, I feel so let down it's amazing. Two months ago this finale would have passed nearly unnoticed, with me disappointed but not really caring too much. Martha made me care. Hardcore. I reveled in my new love for a show I had written off as a nostalgia trip all along. It made me happy to be obsessive about something again. I knew it wasn't totally rational--that mostly I'd learned to live with (and love) the limitations RTD's imposed.

But he's gone and done exactly what he needed to to make me hate it. His elevation of the Doctor to the Lonely God Everyone Prays To has done precisely the opposite of his intent where my attitude towards the Doctor is concerned.

Part of what's so upsetting is that I fully expected something wanky to happen. I mean, I didn't think it would be awesome science fiction--but I did trust it to feed me what I wanted. It's not like I think "Human Nature" etc was actually good, but it hit me just right. The Master, likewise, hit me just right without fooling me into thinking there was anything that empirically good about it.

In short, I expected fanfic, but I expected somewhat good fanfic, like what we've been getting. I got the opposite. Maybe RTD should have hired some of us.

Edit: I feel that by not saying anything to Martha, the Doctor's broken up with me. So long, buddy. You're not worth it.

Martha: win
Doctor: lose

Oh no. I was being completely serious. You teased me with promises of E/C, E/Rat goodness and I suddenly decided I wasn't going to let you squeeze out of your obligation to filth me.

Actually, I just get really, really giddy when I'm presented with Phantom phics that aren't Leroux, Kay, or Webber based. I'm talkin' bout the nutsy sequals that everyone gets bored with. Chat promised me a 1943 Foster phic last year and I'm STILL waiting on it. Blarg.
