We will remember them.

Tried to think of something to say, but couldn't. This, however, always always makes me cry.

Oh yes, that final scene is just so sad.

Thank you for sharing that.

[elisi]

I wanted to write something, but just went completely blank. And then I thought that this would really be better than anything *I* could say, anyway.

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Definitely a day to reflect and remember.

[elisi]

Definitely. Even the weather is suitably sombre here.

I know exactly what scene that is-- and I can't bring myself to watch it. I know I should, but it's one of those one I just can't rewatch. Along with the ending of "Chosen" and "Parting of the Ways"...

[elisi]

I can't bring myself to watch it.
Oh I understand that. I've yet to re-watch 'Journey's End' and I'm not sure I'll be able to... (the end of 'Doomsday' kills me every. single.time. And I'm not even a shipper.)

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

I haven't re-watched Journey's End either-- I probably will when I inevitably buy the DVDs-- but I haven't yet. And I feel the same way about Doomsday, and I'm not really a shipper either!

Well maybe sort of shipper. I think they were awfully cute together, and brought out the best in each other. And I just adore Rose as a character.

That's a great icon!

Yes, that's me too. I have no problem with the Doctor loving her, but it was *always* going to end in heartbreak.

Icon by imagi_nation - I love it. :)

ETA: Aaaaah! She vanished. I hope she just changed her name or something, her icons were *gorgeous*!

I hate it when people just vanish off the face of LJ!

I think that's a lot of what I loved about the relationship. Of course I suspect for a lot of americans Rose was our intro to the the whoniverse. I bonded with her in the first 5 minutes of Rose, when she woke up late, almost missed her bus, and clearly wondered if there was anything more to life than folding sweaters.

Same here.

Well my knowledge of the 'verse was miniscule - I knew about Daleks, the TARDIS, and the Doctor (who had a long, multicoloured scarf) and that was it. I liked Rose, but I remember being impatient to see when the Doctor would show up - but then I've never been one for identifying with the 'ordinary' characters. (Not that I'm not ordinary, but their stories don't really interest me as much.)

Thank you for posting. I'd never see this before.

Sometimes I forget that there are people who aren't familiar with British sitcoms. Blackadder might be the best one - if you can get hold of it, do! (Not s1 though - but the others are all *great* and hysterically funny. Which is of course why the end hurts so very much.)

That clip always makes me cry too.

[elisi]

TV can be incredibly powerful.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot for posting that. Still one of the best series finales in the history of TV, and the most heartbreaking end to any comedy series.

*nods*

Am trying to think of anything that'd do as a birthday treat, and coming up pretty blank. (Also - have no time. Stupid RL.) *ponders*

Flanders Field. ):
God that's sad.
Something to make you smile though, at my school's Anzac Day service yesterday, 400 primary children were SILENT! Even the preppies. When the boss asked why we wear poppies, hands went up and one child answered 'because of the poppies at Flanders Field'
Even 90 years later and the children do not forget.

Oddly enough that *too* makes me choke up. But thank you for sharing that. :)

Hi Elisi,I wanted to know, is the 11th of November legal holiday in Great Britain too? Are there public commemorations?

[elisi]

The 11th isn't a holiday, although there are public commemorations everywhere (and of course the 2 minute silence at 11am). But we also have Remembrance Sunday, the Sunday closest to the 11th, which is the 'official' day, as it were.

[candleanfeather.livejournal.com]

Thank you for these pieces of information.

[elisi]

My pleasure. :)
