I think there's a part of the Doctor, at least post-Time War, that seems to be close to madness. And not the "cute eccentric alien" type of madness, but the despairing black hole kind. And it *is* frightening because you almost get the sense at times in S3 that he just doesn't care anymore.
DEFINITELY. And for someone with that kind of power, that is frightening. He's so prone to playing God these days, and I'm not sure if it's worse if he doesn't recognize it or worse if he does. He just kept getting more isolated and disturbing as S3 went on.
Nice angle on that! It definitely brings out a determination in Rose that just WOWS me. *HUGS ROSE*
Thanks! It just really struck me this time. "That you don't just give up. You don't just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away, and I just can't..." She's frustrated and angry, and it was the Doctor who caused it.
Bwah! Yeah, I remember being REALLY pissed off at Donna. :D However, the Titanic crashing into the TARDIS made up for some of the things that went horribly wrong in LotTL, so maybe there's something to it.
Well, there's always that. ;) Plus they wound up cushioning it with Time Crash, which was all kinds of love.
But in watching this time around, I realized how I felt about Donna was probably how some people felt about Ten.
:D Thanks!
