just finished watching ep 8 of Doctor Who, Father's Day.

spent most of the ep crying like a little girl.



no one should die alone. it's something that always makes me sad, to know that people do. whenever i take my mom to the cemetery, i'm always reading the headstones as i walk, wondering if they had...died alone. it's part of what moved me to go see my dad in Vegas, letting him know i still loved him even though there was too much between us for a relationship.

Rose just wanted to be with her dad on the day that he died. a father she'd never known, kept alive in memory by her mum, which was a really sweet side of Jackie to see.

and the Doctor letting her....how in love is that poor bastard? heh. i adore their relationship utterly. he's so sad, so gutted by the things that he's seen, the things that he's done. and yet, his childlike wonder keeps him going, gives him a joy that is so beautiful to watch. Rose has that same joy, gives him that same joy by reacting with wonder and delight to the things he can show her.

yeah, i'm hooked. you gonna make something of it? huh?

heh.

eta: hey, i guess i'm somebody now. my lj just got spammed by a complete asshole. so, drinks?

Father's Day made me cry, too. Rose's father wasn't a hero, but he became one.

there were so many little things I loved about this episode.

[deleted spoilers cause buggs hasn't seen]

But, Pete's little bit to Rose about being a proper dad to her -- kills me every single time.
