Okay, your review is so awesome that it made ME flail and I'm only the beta reader - Anne is going to combust! LOL

Isn't it BRILLIANT? When she first told me about this I nearly fell off the couch in excitement - it's just so perfectly HIM. Especially CRAZYASS!Doctor. He would totally unmake himself without even realizing it - there's a REASON for the whole not going back on your own time line rule. *shakes head* Silly Doctor.

My favourite part of this chapter is the way that Ten gradually takes over and comes to the forefront as Future!Doctor begins to fade - it's such an ingenious juxtaposition, isn't it?

*happy sigh*

I think he would've seen it coming, known it would happen (How could he not? He's not a Time Lord for nothing.), had he stopped to think about it. But he didn't! EXACTLY! That's the thing about Crazy!Doctor - he's so manic he's no longer thinking like a time lord. Of course he has the ability to see it, but he's not allowing himself to, instead he's being completely selfish and going for what he really wants at all costs, and that's Rose. *melts* Oh, he needs her so. *sniffle* It takes Present!Doctor, who is still following the rules and thinking like a time lord to figure it all out - it's a beautiful contrast really.

But it was still completely heartbreaking to see him so scared and fading away and just wanting to be with Rose and telling her he loves her and---*chokes up* I know exactly what you mean... *swipes at own tears* He's so desperate for her that he'll do anything, and then to lose her in such a way... *guh*... and yet, he also gave himself an amazing gift by making the choice to change things - because he made his ( ... )

OMG!!! I didn't see this until right now!!! But yes, flaily!!! I actually read the play that quote is from around the same time WOM aired, but then AFTER I finished writing this fic I stumbled across it again and started flailing and going, "OMG!!! QUOTE!!! QUOTE FOR MY FIC!!!!!" And then after that I figured out that I could use it for a title too, and I flailed some more! Basically...the quote initiated lots of flailing from me ;) LOL!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*giggles* Hee!

IT'S LIKE BACK TO THE FUTURE. EXCEPT DIFFERENT.

HEE!!!! YES!!! EXACTLY!!! I think I told lorelaisquared early in the plotting it out process, "OMG! I'm totally going to Back to the Future the Doctor!!! ACK!!" And in my head I always called it Back-to-the-Futureing him!

"OI YOU HAVEN'T SAID A PROPER HELLO TO ME YET ROSE TYLER!" and that he was the first to say "I MISSED YOU!" IIIIIIIIIIeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! *does a happy dance*Yay! I'm glad you liked that! It was kind of spontaneous, actually! All at once I realized that they hadn't really had their moment yet and was like, "Well...I'd better get on with that! LOL!" And of COURSE he said he missed her first! He spent all that time on the Dalek ship knowing she was SOMEWHERE, but not knowing where! And having to see freaking JACKIE AND MICKEY FIRST??? Oy! He's probably super-relieved to finally have her there. ( ... )

You have had PLENTY of evil times, sitting there with your BWAHAHAHAHAing while I'm sitting here all spinny-headed and like whoa! ;) Revenge! Bwa!

And yes, absolutely! Poor Ten had to wait so long! Just for that he deserves a little alone time with Rose, don't you think? *nods* Definitely!
