Please, Please Uncle Rusty
Jan. 22nd, 2008 09:35 pmI generally don’t give much attention to Doctor Who tabloid casting and plot rumours, but please please please can this one be true. Pleeeeeaaaaase.
I don’t care how they do it, but Sarah and Jack have to meet. There are two things my Who loving flatmate and I agree on an those are:
1. Harry Sullivan is adorable
And
2. That Sarah Jane Smith and Jack Harkness have to meet, and preferably bicker and flirt.
(We disagree on everything else. If you ever want to be disturbed with cried of “Rose is SPECIAL!” “Rose is NOT SPECIAL!” at all hours of the day, move into the house next to us).
Meanwhile, I’m holding my breath to find out whether Rose is in episodes 12 and 13. While I can get behind Rose showing up in the Doctor-Lite episode and never interacting with the Doctor as a way of showing the audience that Rose has moved on with her life, I really don’t like the idea of her in the season finale. There are so many issues there, it’d be like School Reunion x10, and while I love School Reunion, you’ve got to admit, the plot kind of sucked a bit since School Reunion was all about the issues and how could it not be? An episode being about a relationship is fine for an average episode, but not for a season finale. A season finale is when the plot has to be brilliant as well. Basically, I don’t have enough faith in RTD to believe it wouldn’t be painfully awful to every non Ten/Rose shipper. Not to mention, we haven’t had enough time to really miss Rose yet.
Besides, the one thing we know for definite about the season finale is that it’s Catherine Tate’s last episode. If any companion is going to get the spotlight, it should be Donna.
