And shall rant about it. And think I have a right to rant at that. Please do.
Because many of the classic doctors were willing to be part of the celebration. I even read somewhere Davison and co. were ready to shoot their own 50th anniversary. Let's face it the actors won't be around forever and the 50th would have been ideal for the hommage. I know they planned to record scrumptious Big Finish episodes. Still. *sighs* So much. And the symbolism was good too. No fan wars, bringing the audience together. Not picking one companion over the others. I love Rose, but she's not supposed to be coming back. It doesn't make sense in her storyline. And Ten/Rose might be big around the fandom, but this isn't bringing people together. I'll take Barrowman being left out, I entirely understand their choosing not to use River, though I was hoping for her. But saying the Doctors would all be coming back, and then turning around like this… It's harsh. Here's to hoping there's a link between Rose and Clara which will make her return and Moffat's "no looking back, going towards the future" stance make more sense…
Sorry, today I'm a five year old. Ha, wouldn't say so. Honestly, I don't want to be a whiner and spend ages dwelling on "they could have done this or that". But we have a right to criticism, we have passion and expectations and we were told things and they're not coming true. Won't change the world. Won't make the special bad, not necessarily. But for now, it's still a letdown and I didn't feel like keeping quiet about it. Bite me. Expressing the bitterness is cathartic ;)
