I don't know why it's taken me so long to answer this, just laziness I guess.
-I'm glad 'It doesn't suck' at least :)
-I've gotten to the point where as long as I don't *watch" JE I can accept it as a...60% happy ending but watching it brings up all the issues again. It's woefully underwritten for as huge as it is, and I still view it as a betrayal of the story/character-arc I thought the show was going for. And I've never made up my mind if it helps that RTD seems to get that it's not great, that he knows it isn't really *right* but tried to fit the square peg in the round hole anyway.
A lot of fandom has...accepted what happened. Some of them accepted it quickly and really liked it, some have basically gotten glad that there's still *a* happy ending out there, which is a sentiment I can understand but can't quite find peace with. If I could it would probably a lot easier to let my JE issues rest.
-BP and MS have good chemistry in the Sally Lockhart movies (and plenty of useful footage from that one ep of SDoaCG) and I'm sure I'll still ship them since I ship Doctor/Rose not specific ones so much, so I would like to vid them, but I would probably need s5 footage to do it.
My resistance to watching s5 is wearing down though, partly for that reason. And I'm starting to feel kind of...uninformed in fandom these days. Plus, hey, I could always stop if I start really hating it.
