Doctor Who...

Nov 15, 2009 20:04

That was shaping up to be one of the most moving, heartbreaking episodes of Doctor Who yet, and then...

What the hell happened to the Doctor there? Who did he become? I didn't recognise the Doctor there; or rather, I did and it scared me. What the hell happened to him? All that 'Time Lord Victorious' crap, 'Time belongs to me'...what was that? Where did that come from? Talk about going too far. I think Ten is losing it. I don't think anyone, even a Time Lord, can take the pain and the loss and the heartache and the responsibility as long as he has, without finally breaking. You gaze into the abyss long enough...

But why is he so afraid to die? I really don't understand that. He's a Time Lord. He regenerates. He's done it nine times so far. Why on earth should he be afraid to die? Is it just because he's starting to realise that his regenerations are finite and one day there will be no Time Lords left at all? Or is it perhaps because he's almost looking forward to the day, when it will be over?

But kudos to David Tennant. Wow. Damn, I'm going to miss him. He's an amazing actor. That scene of the Doctor just walking away, heart breaking with every step, listening to the panic over the comm. That was powerful stuff. I wish they'd left it there, instead of reinforcing the Doctor's Messiah complex.

*sighs*

And on a side note, Bowie Base One. (Life on) Mars. John Simm. *snerks*
