A mixed bag of reactions:

• I ... may have had a Daleks/Cybermen moment and then shouted "EW FUCK NO!" at the tv.
• Maybe. You cannae prove anything, etc.
• There was entirely too much Mickey/Rose vibing going on in this episode. *frowns*
• Also, the ending was a bit too shmalzy for me. They should have ended it at the point where Rose was sucked into the void, and not let Pete save her, because the whole copout from the dying? Lame, RTD, really lame.
• Also, I totally yelled at him not to say "I love you." And then when he cried I told him to "Cheer up, emo Time Lord." Because I'm mean and heartless, apparently. Um.
• On the plus side: Jake! JAKE! Jake Jake Jake oh, he was lovely in the few moments he was onscreen.
• Also, Mickey sliding over to grab his Big Gun! <3! I wonder what those two are going to do now that there's no more Cybermen to battle.
• Well, Rose is going to work at Torchwood, so probably they will too.
• Scientist bloke getting all his knowledge sucked out, whoa. That was creepycool.
• Cyber!TorchwoodLady! Doing her duty for Queen and Country! And she cried!
• Mickey's grin as the Doctor came in. Aww, bless.
• "I told you he was good." Heeee! (Mickey/Ten wheee!)
• There were several nice shots of Rose's cleavage. Woo! \o/
• This is not a dislike about the show, because I like that they made the Doctor less bright and shiny, but the way his argument with Pete to convince him to help the other world consisting of "But your wife!", which is the complete opposite of what he told Rose in AoS/RotC, and I was yelling at the screen all "WTF YOU CONNIVING BIATCH!"
• Oh! Him thinking she's pregant, at the end? Bwahahaha! Oh, the "They're not shagging lalalala" contingent is going to have kittens about this! *glees*
• I love the bit in this week's Confidential with Noel Clarke climbing into the Dalek. Dr Who: turning grown-ass adults into gleeful teenagers since the Sixties! :D

[ETA] After a second viewing:

• "It's like Stephen Hawkins meets the speaking clock." OH MICKEY!
• Man, the Cybermen vs Daleks battle of one-liners = WIN!
• Jake is so hot when he's all commanding. "Go!" Mmm.
• You must all go do Kate's bidding.
• "Good to see you." "And you, boss." Nawwwww!
• Oh, god, the Pete/Jackie reunion scene, when she tells the Doctor to shut up, and he's all "... Right," and Mickey's smirking at him and LOVE!
• "We can always take the lift." I love Jake. LOVE!

[/ETA]

Is it Christmas yet?

See, I thought a human wouldn't have been able to survive in the Void, and also, I'd have kinda liked to see her go down valiantly. :/

My Dr Who background-knowledge is poor in the best case, but I don't get why it's the humans calling it 'hell', then. The Daleks & Cybermen certainly didn't seem to be much bothered.

Also, in a way, I find even this ending worse than her death. Perhaps it's because I adher to the 'no life after death' school of thought and therefore think she certainly wouldn't be sad after dying, but there you go. Now she'll have to go on every minute of her life remembering the Doctor and knowing she'll never see him again. There's something extrememly sad about that.
