"Doomsday" was on Sci-fi and as I was waiting for my facial mask to dry and had already gotten my schadenfreude on from it turns out that the National Enquirer may know its shit after all, I decided that was a good use of my time. These are some thoughts:

1. It's totally cheery that the episode ends with DONNA. It makes the last thirty seconds so optimistic. Don't cry, Emo!Ten, Donna's there to be awesome.

2. Hilarious is the Sci Fi channel's bad edits, especially when they cut from Billie Piper ruining her mascara right to a commercial for no-run mascara.

3. I'm gonna spend some time thinking about this again, because the Breaking Dawn Twatlight wank has brought it up fresh for me, but isn't it kind of depressing how much emphasis is put on 'the ordinary people' sometimes? It makes me wonder how many people are out there waiting for a vampire to show up/the TARDIS/to get accepted into Hogwarts instead of trying hard every day to be awesome in the world we get.

(And that's why Lyra Belaqcua kicks everyone's ass, the end.)

Word. Which is probably why I usually find the characters who don't have special powers more interesting than the ones who do.

I have that. Ando on Heroes is basically the only character I still like. This rant is about how I hate when those characters, by the end of the series, have become so massively overpowered as to be ridiculous.

I think I'm trying to justify why I think Rose Tyler is the dumbest whiny cow on the planet though. It isn't because she works in a shop, it's because -- you know, she didn't have to let that define her existence.
