And now I continue "Father's Day"-Doctor/Rose with part two.  Sorry I'm so late!

May include references to future episodes.

Again, all screencaps from Stakes and Stones Screencaps.

Enjoy part 2!


This kills me everytime.  To feel her dad and for him to know that she's his daughter, and look at her so proudly, it's all she needs.


This is killing her.  She finally understands that what she did screwed something up, people are being killed, and she has what she wanted.  She has her dad in her arms and she probably knows this isn't gonna last.


"I've traveled to all sorts of places.  Done things you couldn't even imagine, but...you two...street corner.  Two in the morning.  Getting a taxi home.  I've never had a life like that."  That's sad.  I never would have thought that in 900+ years he never would have something like this.  I mean, we know that now he doesn't do domestic, but never before?  He never wanted to just settle down?  The way he said it, it made it sound like something he never thought he would want.  But now he thinks about what he's lost in the war and knows he lost his chance.  That sucks.


When little Mickey clings to her and she tells him he has to let go, it's sad that as the audience we know, along now with Rose, that she's always telling him that.  Maybe it's why I don't like "Boomtown" as much as I should because she's not letting go.


Aw, the Doctor with baby!Rose.  He should babysit more often, because we've seen that he's actually really good with kids.  And I really like that.


He gets sarcastic with her, and while I know he's still angry, it's not the right time.  She's already admitted that she knows it's her fault.  At least he's quick to realize it was too much and apologized.  What I didn't like was when he told her that he really wasn't going to leave her, she quickly said "I know."  Why the need to say that?


"Tell me you're sorry"  I like this.  All he wants to hear is I'm Sorry.  There was always a difference between Adam and Rose, and Rose almost immediately sets herself aside because when she sees what happened after saving her dad, she recognizes it's her fault.  The Doctor just wants to know if she's sorry about it.  And she most definitely is.


She just seemed so unsure in this scene.  Like she didn't know what to expect at any moment, and here, maybe I grabbed a bad screencap, she looks like he's gonna break her neck or something.  Or something.  Or maybe she just didn't expect it would be so easy.


But how could you not love the Doctor?  It's almost completely off-topic, but I just am in love with this guy.  He's near perfect and she knows it.


I love good hugs in films and TV shows.  Sometimes it just doesn't look good because the character/actor looks like they're afraid to touch the other person(*cough*Rory Gilmore*cough).  I'm glad that problem was never on this show.  It's an awesome hug.  It's this relief and comfort, and I think comfort is the biggest because she still needs him, even with her dad, she needs the Doctor, he's still the most important man in her life.


"Have you got something hot?"  Dirty girl!  When I first saw this, I didn't really hear what she said.  I watched it again, and saw the look she shot him when she said that.  What the hell was she expecting when she felt the key?  And why didn't he mind her rummaging through his coat?  That last one would probably be best left alone.  lol


It was nice to see him out of the coat, but at the same time, I wished he would put it back on.  Sometimes, when I first see an actor in a role, I just get so used to that, that it's how I always want that actor to look.  I like the green though.


It was so sad to see her lie about all those things growing up with her dad, almost convincingly, but he broke my heart, and hers, when he said "That's not me."  This episode hurts.  In the best way.


At this point, it's poor Rose.  She screwed up, she got people killed, and she got THE DOCTOR killed.  It's nice to know that at least one of those broke her.  WTF was she going to do if he didn't come back?
And also, heartbreaking episode, with the TARDIS gutted and the Doctor dead.  Did the writer of this episode write another one?  Because I don't know if I could watch another one by him.


"My daddy."  Um, yes I cried.  Billie was amazing in this episode.  I thought, she cries too much, but then you watch the episode, and all the pieces fall together and you understand.  If I were in her place, I never would have stopped crying.


I liked that it was getting the Doctor back, and him telling her to go that got her into action.  I wonder, again, what she was thinking.


Some people were always distracted with the thought that he needs her, but I've been distracted by the fact that she desperately needs him, more than ever.  I'm quoting myself here, but oh well.  I said back during my EOTW review that "We don't see it much in the series, but she absolutely needs him to be there behind her, to support her, if she really wants to learn the universe and history.  It's not until later that she just plain wants him there."  And here, she's absolutely willing to have him lead her away.  I'm glad that something I sort of made up held true! :)

The proper place to have this:
Fic idea for "Father's Day": 
Because there could have been a chance, and because I like reading fics, I was wondering if anyone knows of one or could write an after-FD fic where Rose blames the Doctor for all the things that happened, and blames him for dying, just because she's angry at herself and doesn't really want to blame herself even though she's sorry.  Did that make any sense?  Cause even though she's sorry for what she did, I think she would be upset enough that at first she 
would be angry.

Well?

Ideas, thoughts, rants, give me it all!  Thank you!

I've enjoyed reading your thoughts and ideas about these epsiodes since you first began them, and like you this episode was heart wrenching for me to watch. I cried a few times, I think becuase it rang home far more than I thought it could. Anyway, I like your idea and I'm willing to write it becuase I have several ideas. Just wanted to let you know, keep up the great work, can't wiat to see The Empty Child! Thanks Again.

This ep got to me, and I didn't expect it to. (I've got some severe issues with my father, so father's on tv are not high on my list.) At any rate, this one made me cry too.

Also, LOL re: Rory reference...so true, though I didn't consciously notice it before :)

It wasn't very hard for the episode to affect me, I'm too sensitive when it comes to things emotional like this. I'm such a girl sometimes!

Also, LOL re: Rory reference...so true, though I didn't consciously notice it before :)

It only became more obvious over the seasons because I really didn't notice it at first either.

I love how he just lets her go into his jacket and his hands are still around her. I somehow don't think he'd let just anyone get that personal with him. and yes, my mind goes to a very dirty place when she asks if he's got something hot. Oh, yes, sweetie, he certainly does.

Why the need to say it?

I think that "I know" when he said he wouldn't have left her was to let him know she trusts him. It was kind of to reassuring to him, I think.

Great caps! I love this episode.

It's all in the delivery and the look that Billie gives that has that dirty illusion and I find it great that he keeps her arm around her.

Oh, yes, sweetie, he certainly does.

Not touching that with a ten foot pole. :D

I'm glad you like!
