Doctor Who finale - no real thoughts posted here, only shallow ones

[tzikeh]

I'm posting this one thing for people who like Ten and Rose. I tried to come up with a way to say this without being remotely spoilery, but this is the best I can do. ETA: Yes, of course send other Ten/Rose fans by.



The kiss scene got short shrift; if they'd used more of what they shot, it wouldn't have seemed like Human!Ten was just along for the ride, because boy *howdy* he was rather actively involved! :D Here's some footage from the Confidential. For those who don't watch the Confidentials and aren't used to the fact that they're full of pop music for some mysterious reason, please ignore their lame attempt of adding to the footage by using "Long Distance" as a faux soundtrack.

If you can't see this embedded video, you can view it here.



NOTE: This is a happy-only post; skip on by if you wanna skip on by, but please, I beg you, only shallow and/or happy thoughts if you want to comment.

Do you have an embedded clip? If so, could you post a direct link, because I'm seeing nothing. Merci!

You can't see embedded clips?

YOW.

I don't think shallow and/or happy thoughts are gonna be an issue after seeing that!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

HEE! Thank you!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

...oh yes. Yes. Yes.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

See? That's the kind of comment I was hoping for. :D Yes, thank you, may I have some more, please?

[xenacryst.livejournal.com]

*fans self*

Yeah, I could watch some more of that. A whooole lot more...

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. MOAR PLZ.

[itsthewa.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. THAT'S the stuff right there, baby.

::rushes off to watch it a few more times::

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

This is a *world-class* shallow comment. You get cake!

[kitkatbyte.livejournal.com]

I agree. I'm making a version of the scene with that footage in it, just because I want it. It is so adorable! It makes me happy. :( Er... :)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I'm making a version of the scene with that footage in it

You so should! Because, hello, *awesome*.

[iko.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I think that their kiss is so much hotter in Confidential and I've been pointing people to it... and thanks for providing a really easy way to share it! Woooooot! *much love to you*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Much love to you, too! Please go ahead and point people over here!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was some very nice kissing. Part of me wishes that it had been in the episode, but that would have been like beating the other Doctor over the head with a very painful object, so I get why they didn't show the best bit.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I can see how it might have been hard on Ten, but there's also the audience to consider! :) Besides, it's not like it could be worse than it already is for him.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Playing the director here - we could use some hands in her hair, plz. I wonder how many takes there were?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

You know, that was one of my thoughts too--the hands-in-hair thing. Of course, I can use my thoughts for my own purposes. :D They're going to have to call Pete to wire them money to get them home; they'll have to stay somewhere for the night. Ahem.

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, that is hot. Wish they'd shown the whole thing.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, me too. At least we get it in the Confidential! Guh.

[misspamela.livejournal.com]

Yes, um. Like that.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yah. Just like that.

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

::insert high-pitched dolphin noises here::

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I respond with my dolphin icon! YAY!

[dementedsiren.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed that too. I must admit, I was a tad bit warm after watching that bit.

Just a tad.

Yeah.

(Wow was Not!Ten into it. While I still don't like how that turned out, I don't feel nearly as bad for Rose than I did immediately after the finale.)

[dementedsiren.livejournal.com]

Yes I am replying to my own comment. You see, I just finished reading some of the comments above, and the places people are taking this is FANTASTIC. Especially the one that involves diagrams. Diagrams are good.

*imagine the Doctor deciding the re-enact the Kama Sutra after accepting it as a valid "source text"*

*imagines Rose's reaction*

*laughs ass off*

[jlrpuck.livejournal.com]

Holy bajolies! Why didn't we get *that* kiss?!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I don't knooooooooow!!

But kitkatbyte has made her own version of the scene with bits from it as best she could. You can see it here.

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm not a particularly Ten/Rose kinda girl, but that made me laugh with pure happiness. Which I hope makes sense and doesn't sound mocking, because it's really not.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Not at all mocking. Happy!kissy!Ten is a plus in all ways.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

There. um. There are... disadvantages to this thing getting marketed as a family show, aren't there. Thank goodness for the Confidential crew, in any case. :)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Disadvantages, yes. I'm with you, thank goodness for Confidential. It's interesting, isn't it (well, to me--I don't know if you watch the Confidentials), that we've never really seen "a scene that wasn't in the show" before. Not that I can recall. Confidential really only shows the shooting of work we wind up seeing; not cut stuff.

Wonder why they included this in the Confidential. *ahem*

[chicklet73.livejournal.com]

*SQUEEEEE*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

:D Awesome comment!

[littlebatti.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Thanks so much for posting this.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome!

[azriona.livejournal.com]

Guh. I can't stop watching it. In fact, I'm going to watch it again now....

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I admit to having watched it a ginormous amount of times.

I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING

*time to watch it again*

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Oh that's fantastic! I was kind of underwhelmed with the way the kiss itself aired, it seemed they cut away to Ten's reaction right away. But the full version is hot!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

So unbelievably hot -- I wish they'd aired this; there might not be so much craptasticness around the fandom about Human!Ten not being engaged in the kiss and therefore not really in love with Rose.

Why oh why did they not put in the hotness?

[tenar.livejournal.com]

this made me so so happy. i don't generally watch the confidentials so i'm very glad this was pointed out.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

:D You're welcome! I love to share the happy.
