Endings are an interesting thing in that they are often necessary but also often sad.  Nostalgia can be the enemy of anything even resembling progress but it’s call is so seductive, the beauty of the past is that while it happened we get the choice to remember it however we want, which means it skews either to the rose tinted memories of better times where the bad has been filtered out or the opposite, some hellish near-apocalyptic landscape we barely survived.  The point of all of this is that of course Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are very soon leaving Doctor Who forever, leaving a pond shaped void in the lives of Whovians.  Of course, Who fans have been through this before, when Billie Piper’s Rose left I was sure I could never love another companion as much but then Catherine Tate’s Donna Nobel came along.  Then came along Rory.  I kind of wish I had watched Doctor Who as a kid, I feel like this constant change, the loss of characters I had grown to love would have much better prepared me for life, like somehow children in Britain don’t cling too long to their first love or pine after the end of their first major adult relationship.  I mean, this isn’t true but just like those the important thing is always to move on.  And moving on has a beauty all it’s own.  Loss is hard but without an ending there can be no beginnings and beginnings are beautiful.  In a beginning there is possibility, a wide open new world of experience to explore.  Story telling as a whole teaches us this, no matter how badly we might want to cling to the same old, same old because it’s comfortable it is only when things change and new stories open up for us that we truly get to experience greatness.  All of that is of course a lot of words to get to the new companion who appeared last night, Jenna-Louise Coleman.  She managed to impress by not only being easy on the eyes as anyone who saw her announced knew, but by being charming and engaging and overall quite wonderful.  Of course, we are left broken hearted at the end but I think we can all know that this is a heart break with a happy ending, for now at least, because she will be back soon.  She is of course adorable and sexy, always an interesting and difficult mix, as you can see here but seeing her on screen takes her to a new level, some people just impress more in motion, their charisma and charm coming through to wow you.  I was wowed.  I am sure I am not alone but this is about me and today I want to fuck Jenna-Louise Coleman.
