We will not forget you Rose Tyler

This past weekend, me and the Robopapi sat and watched the season 2 finale of Doctor Who titled, Doomsday. This was an epic episode featuring two of the Doctor's most famous enemies, the Daleks and the Cybermen, seen together for the first time ever in Doctor Who history. It was also to be Rose Tyler's last episode. And as far as I know the longest and most emotional departing of any Doctor Who companion.

It starts off as a retrospective telling of the story of how Rose died. We feared the worst that she really died. In reality she is still alive, yet her and the Doctor were forced to part ways, never to be able to meet again. Something to do with alternate reality worlds. And even the Doctor in his TARDIS cannot cross those boundaries, at least not intentionally. So in a way it was as if Rose did die.

Needless to say the fiesty 19 year old Londoner Rose has seriously grown on us during her 2 season run. And almost more so, her mother Jackie, who I knew I loved the moment I saw her in episode 1. As the episode ended, we were shocked and the both us were crying on the couch because we knew it was the end for Rose, Jackie, and Mickey. It was time to say goodbye to yet another, in the long 40-something year history of Doctor Who companions. I must say that Rose is one of my favorite Companions in Dr. Who next to Sarah Jane Smith, Jo Grant, Leela, and of couse K-9.

As the morning ran on, we tried to collect ourselves out of our depression. The depressing part is something I tried to warn the Robopapi about. Whenever a companion of the the Doctor departs the show, it's always somewhat depressing. It's like losing an old friend.

But, we had happy things to look forward to, like beautiful Jones beach this weekend. The weather was gorgeous on Sunday and we met up with some friends on the beach. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Well except if only Rose could stay with the Doctor. Who knows? Perhaps the Doctor will find another rip in the space-time continuum and cross paths with Rose Tyler again.

Sunday night we landed at the Eagle with our friend Dennis. And there me and the Robopapi held our Coronas up high and toasted to never forgetting Rose Tyler, oh and Jackie Tyler too.
