413: '''Journey's End''' ''[[2008]] [[August 1]]''
 
(First watched 2008-07-29)  So again that creepy hand comes in useful.  He regenerated... but only using a bit of its power (so he didn't totally transform), and giving the rest to the hand, which ended up growing fully as well as messing up Donna.
 
Last week I almost said that next to the Ninth Doctor, the biggest things missing were Mickey and Jackie.  Well, here they were!
 
Daleks speaking German!
 
Boy, the TARDIS sure got full for a while there.  And finally enough people helming the thing to not require one man running around to all the controls.
 
So Jack talking to Martha and Mickey at the end... could they really end up at Torchwood?  It would make the series even ridiculously more Doctor Who-tied, but they would fit into the roles of doctor and computer expert fairly well.
 
Rose Tyler... gets a Doctor of her own?  Weird.  Human Doctor, for all his differences that allowed him to commit genocide to save the multiverse, seems pretty submissive to the regular Doctor.  They're near-identical, but he's completely willing to be shunted off to another reality to essentially stay out of the other Doctor's hair.
 
The end result for Donna breaks my heart, though.  Previously people got separated from the Doctor (willfully or not), but they went on to lead more productive lives as a result of their experiences, some of them eventually even rejoining up in this very episode to help save reality.  But Donna... goes back to the almost self-loathing woman she was before, none the better for her experiences except that maybe her mom will treat her better.  They'll find some way around it if they really want to, but what a bummer.  I wonder if the Doctor gives everyone else fair warning?  Awkward if Jack Harkness runs into her, mentions their past experience, and kills her.
 
Human Doctor-Donna can't put up with it, but Human Doctor with Rose can?  Pfffffffffft.  Rose got infused with the power from the TARDIS enough to make a man immortal and alter all of history, but she survived.  asofjasdfopia;werf.
 
Appropriate that this series didn't end with a "What?  What!?  What!" like the last two.  And hey, no reset button like last year.
