beccaelizabethNow I have spinny insomnia
which is like the regular kind
but with head full of thoughts
I keep applying the idea that the Doctor actually was shopping for a mother to his children to what we saw in the episodes. Children were a theme, and new starts via children. Also hybridity. The Doctor took Rose to the future, and what was the first thing he showed her? Obviously, the end of the world. The end of earth, that is. Make her have the same trauma? And therefore the same needs? Show her how finite life is?
But the other thing he showed her was the future of 'pure' humanity. The last pure human. Humans spread out everywhere and mixed, was the Doctor's point. Rose was the last pure human, says Rose. Oops, that didn't work. Didn't give her the right idea.
Jack turns up, and the Doctor tells Rose that the future of humanity dances, with everyone. Emphasises that the Doctor dances too. And once again we have that mixing thing, in an episode about children.
And by the end of the series Rose has mixed with the Time Vortex. Makes her pretty unique.
I wonder how you got Time Lords (and Ladies) in the first place? Rose + Time Vortex = mind like the Doctor, seeing what he sees all the time. What did she do to herself, and are the effects permanent?
And then I come back to that most hated bit of canon, 8 and his declaration of being half human, on his mothers side.
And stuck in my head is the song, "I'm my own grandpa"
See the entire series makes a kind of sense without this idea, but with it, I start to wonder- are they setting Rose up as the mother of the next generation of Time Lords? Is canon actually hinting that way?
(Rose, arose, what arose?)
or have I been awake waaaaay too long?
(well yes, definitely)
I don't actually *like* Rose. At all. I like Ace. Rose isn't Ace.
But my complaint was phrased that the series should have been called 'Rose', and that she was being set up as the Doctor's equal (without having the wherewithal, the stuff, the smarts or the work)
What if she is being set up as the Doctor's partner? First Lady?
Makes the refocus make sense.
Still doesn't make me like her. Annoying woman. Grrrr.
