Cried a lot.



Happy tears, though because OH MY FUCKING GOD love-letter to classic Who. Jo and Sarah Jane could not have been more adorable and holy hell they were pretty much shipping themselves. And then all the companion shout-outs and I was all blubbery with love. Oh SHOW. Oh, Doctor. I just want to smooch every single one of them right now.

ETA: I forgot to mention, the Evil UNIT chick? Woweeee, is that actress stunningly gorgeous. Good grief! Also, even knowing that those giant vultures were talking a bunch of shit, I got choked up when they said the Doctor was dead. NO KILLING THE DOCTOR! NOT EVEN PRETEND KILLING!

I always thought Dorothea was just a variant spelling but could have the same pronunciation.

Well, whenever I heard the name the pronunciation sounded very different - both Dodo and the Doctor say it at different points in The Massacre, and it's clear in both cases that the final a is not silent.

Ahh, I haven't seen/heard any of the episodes in which her whole name is said. (Though, I suppose if one really wanted to stretch it, they could say Sarah could be assuming a pronunciation based on reading the name off a screen.)

Yes, it's still open to that interpretation, happily. I do want to think Dodo is happy and well and living that sort of life. :) The way Sarah learned of all those companions also still makes it possible that my theory of Ben and Polly being Maria's grandparents is still doable without her having put two and two together yet.
