Another picspam - Ten needs a hug
It was whilst I was doing my Valentine picspam, that I found myself tagging pictures where Ten is really sad.
The guy has a hard time. He's the last of his kind, and he spends so much of his time rescuing other people and consoling them. Making them feel better. There are times though when you can see that tough exterior crack slightly, and you just want to give Ten the biggest hug and never let him go.
Here are some of those times.
As always, if you think I have missed something, feel free to post in the comments.
Pictures come from various places such as, The Medusa Cascade, Sonic Biro and The David Tennant site.
Not Dial-up friendly.
First from The Girl in the Fireplace. After spending all that time saving the beautiful and talented Reinette, the Doctor arrives just too late to see her alive once more. I know it had only been a day for the Doctor, but our brief lifespans must have seemed even more fleeting to him then.
The next time in S2 was in The Satan Pit. The Doctor thinks that he will never see Rose again, but he still can't tell her how he feels.
Then we're on to the big tear-jerker of the finale that is Doomsday. Watching season 2 again, you realise just how happy and in love Ten was with Rose. He was never quite as carefree after they were seperated.
At least he got to say goodbye (of sorts), but still didn't get to utter those three little words.
The poor Doctor doesn't have time to grieve though because Donna turns up and slaps him.
All through The Runaway Bride, he is plauged by thoughts of Rose. He had hit rock bottom and who knows what would have happened if Donna hadn't been there. Right at the end, he was asked her name and he only just kept it together enough to say it.
How close the Doctor always is to the insanity in Waters of Mars is shown in Daleks in Manhatten when he sees the metal pepper-pots for the first time.
"They survive! They always survive when I lose everything!"
And it never stops. In The Family of Blood just when John Smith thinks he has a nice rosy future, he discovers that his life is a lie. Thankfully this time Joan is there for the much needed hug.
I wonder just how much the Doctor remembered of his time when he was human. The way he asked Joan to come with him implies that there are feelings there somewhere. I think this the last time Ten actually invites someone to travel with him without being asked first. Joan's understandable, but quite cold refusal is heartbreaking on both sides.
End of S3 and for a whole year, he was not the last of the Timelords. Even if the Master was his enemy, Ten's reaction to him dying in The Last of the Timelords, shows just what a lonely existance his is.
Voyage of the Damned, and you can feel Ten's frustration at not being able to save Astrid.
"I can do anything!"
In S4, Ten really gets put through the grinder, but Donna is there to stand by him in The Fires of Pomeii.
With The Doctor's Daughter, Ten desperately tries to not accept who Jenny is, because that would bring too many painful memories to the surface.
And then when he does accept her, she is taken. Possibly, the scariest we have seen Ten as he is so close to pulling that trigger.
The Library two-parter has River Song giving her life for the Doctor. And he has to watch poor thing.
Then Midnight, where luckily Donna does exactly the right thing.
The finale to S4 has so many hug moments. There is the second goodbye to Rose, where Ten has to walk away,
Then farewell Donna. Is this the first time Ten has said "Help me."?
Ending up with the Doctor wet and alone in the Tardis. Not a happy Timelord.
The specials have Ten trying to find fun, but he never quite manages it. In The Next Doctor, the look Ten gives Jackson when he is asked if he has anything to live for, speaks very clearly.
"They break my heart."
In The Planet of the Dead, the doctor refuses to take Christina travelling,
Then there is that ominous prophecy.
Gatecrashing Sarah-Jane's wedding was fun, but he's still left alone in the Tardis at the end.
The hardest thing for Ten was knowing what was going to happen in Waters of Mars, and having to walk away.
Ten's realisation of his madness is heart wrenching, as is his defiant "No!" in the Tardis. He's scared for himself.
The End of Time is one long needed hug for Ten.
"It went wrong."
Whoever that woman is, Ten doesn't want to send her back into the timelock.
"I'm still alive!" tap-tap-tap-tap.
"Lived too long."
Almost time.
"I don't want to go."
