my heart is breaking.

[fictional]

God. I am so devastated right now.¹. Pathetic, I know, but there it is.

And it's confirmed.

I am so upset right now. *laughs* I know it's "just" a show, but this is just. Wow. I can't even really form words.

Just got the news via rm. Damn, I was hoping he'd last longer.

Yeah. I'm not sure I've ever loved a fictional character quite so much, so this is really breaking my heart. And I feel silly about it, but I just can't seem to process appropriately.

Oh sweetie! Unfortunately it's a feature of the show. Sad but inevitable - he was quite superb though - he'll be a very very tough act to follow.

*hugs* I know! It's built in and everything. Damn this show anyway; I get so attached to things, and the whole narrative's just always about letting go.

My bf is going to crow at me when I get home; his Doctor-love was for Nine, and he was devastated when we finished series 1. The whole time watching it though ('cause I knew it wouldn't last), I sort of withheld - and then Tennant came along, and I never looked back. And now it's over, and I guess I'd sort of convinced myself that he wouldn't let the TARDIS key be pried from his cold, dead hands.

The next Doctor's going to have some immense shoes to fill.

On the other hand: Hamlet on Broadway? Perhaps some small consolation. Though not much!

Even knowing him in the part mostly from YouTube-d samples, I am officially :(

Don't ever say it's just a show.
We're all here on LJ because we love these shows and get so much enjoyment from everything they bring to us.
I know there's still more than a year to go, but now it's going to be coloured with sadness knowing it's the last with him.

I know! It's like now, I'll just be waiting for the end. I can't imagine being swept away with it. It reminds me of last nights with long distance relationships, where you try to stay awake, and all the time you're just watching the clock tick away the time you have left. NO FUN.

I say it's just a show, because, even though I'm unrepentantly fannish, I still feel a twinge, a voice in my head saying, "you don't get this upset about famine, and plague and war that goes on every day."

But you're right. We're losing something we love, and who's to judge that?

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

I'm so upset...

...and I'm worried this is the beginning of the end of the show, and I'm worried we'll lose Torchwood, and I'm just a wreck.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

I know. I know.

I just... yeah. I always knew Tennant would leave someday. But I didn't think it'd be now. Because now everything's changing - there's no continuity. No companion to still love, no Doctor to still love, even Rusty'll be gone, say what you will about him - it may all change now. And I'm not ready for it not to be here. I just... love it so much.

My first words of reaction were: "That's it, I'm not fucking watching anymore!" I've since returned (somewhat) to sanity, aka: "I'll keep watching, but it will never be the same, damnit!"

Now I'll always be waiting for the finale where they bring back Rose and 10.5 and it's a two-Doctor extravaganza of sexiness.

But seriously. How do you follow him?

[electro-club.livejournal.com]

Oh.MyGod.

People had been gossiping about this for months now. Can't believe Tennant is gone. =( Well, almost.

We'll just have to expect the next Doctor to be just as great. He'll have a real hard task, poor soul. =/ And now I'm starting to freak out about the end of Doctor Who, the end of Torchwood, the end of the World as we know and everything else.

Oh.MyGod.

I am still heartbroken about Eccleston leaving the show but then he is a minor crush of mine. "My" doctor is still Tom Baker, though, although he was my second doctor in truth. *shows her age*
