LJ stuff, Doctor Who & Pottermore
1. LJ changed the font in the textarea of the Update Journal page from Arial back to a monospace. Yay! I just wish they'd made it Courier, because it looks better than whatever this is.
2. I cleaned up my layout's CSS. My god, was it messy! Also made some minor changes. Ooh, it's so shiny now!
3. I'm rewatching Doctor Who Confidentials. I had forgotten how the Confidentials used to be. What I liked about them was that there was stuff about Classic Who in there. What I disliked was that the Confidentials had a theme instead of being about the episode it belonged to. It spread the info about one episode all over the place. :o/
4. I didn't like later Ten, there was something in his acting that was different. I can't believe that I hadn't realized before where the change was, but thanks to rewatching Confidentials I've seen it now. It started with season 3. How depressing! I mean that's 3 of 4 years that Ten acted the way I didn't like it.
5. Hard-working Hufflepuff that I am I earned lots and lots of house points and now made it into the Hufflepuff top 20!
6. Protip: If you don't like getting lots of random friends requests, avoid getting into the top 20!

For me it's still good from the non-shipper perspective. Because obviously the Doctor has to keep traveling and of course we won't see him with the same Companion for the rest of the show.
That's from the outside point of view, but what makes it so great is that there's an in-story explanation too. If Rose stayed with the Doctor she would lose him, because sooner or later he'd have to regenerate and his personality would change. And the Doctor would lose Rose, because her livespan is so much shorter than his. Also, they'd have to decide on a uninverse. If Rose left Pete's World, she's either have to force her family to come with her or she'd have to leave them behind. If the Doctor came to leave Pete's World, he'd have to leave his universe unprotected. With great power comes great responsibility and all that.
RTD found a solution in which the Doctor keeps traveling, but as a different version is also happy with Rose. Rose got to stay with her family and live with the Doctor. A Doctor she won't have to worry about changing again. Not sure about the traveling though... they're growing a TARDIS (pretty sure that was canon), but how long will that take? I know, sucks that Rose didn't get much say in it, but I think she did win the jackpot there. And really, what else was she supposed to do? Make a stupid decision just out of spite?
And I need to mention how happy I am to see a clone that doesn't get screwed over for once. Usually clone stories end with the clone being killed or having other bad things happen to them.
The Doctor gets to keep saving the universe and a bit of closure because he knows that in a parallel world a version of him is happy with Rose.

I know, poor Donna's potential to be awesome was buried again. It's so depressing, but at least it isn't from her point of view, because she has no idea. Ooh, I can be such an optimist at times!
I found The End of Time so disappointing. Hey, I'm used to RTD's writing style which just gets out of hand sometimes, but did it have to be like that for Ten's last episodes?! *sigh*
