::hugs Craig:: This seems just right. He got a more intimate interaction than most with the Doctor, and I'm sure it's not an easy experience to shake. Not that he'd want to, anyway.

Thanks sweetie! There's a couple of folks who (literally) got into the Doctor's head. (Reinette comes to mind.) But for someone as basically down-to-earth as Craig, it must have been almost literally mind-blowing.

Glad you liked.

Craig’s never wanted to leave Colchester; now that he’s with Sophie, why should he? He’s got what he always wanted, but he can’t help wondering
Just right for Craig. *nods*

But you want 'Oi', not 'Oy'

[karaokegal]

So right. I think we can be fairly sure that Craig is NOT Jewish! Fixing it right now. (But it shows how my mind interprets the pronounciation.)

Thanks for the comment. Fixing right now.

[mad_jaks]

Yeah, though he might have Jewish friends, and probably does.

I see 'Oy' and I hear the unwritten 'vey'.

Awww, poor Craig! So many people the Doctor's left wondering.

[karaokegal]

Thanks sweetie! We know how much he affects the companions, but even the ones who come in brief contact are fundamentally changed in some way. We've seen people like Reinette and Dickens who are extraordinary to start out with, but it must be especially hard on a more "normal" person.

That seems to be just what the Doctor does, drops into someone's life then leaves them wondering forever.

That's the truth and in many cases the tragedy, both for the Doctor and the ones who get left behind.
