Doctor Who --- 33 Days of Doctor/Rose ---- Day 10: Sad Moment

Aug 02, 2011 16:39



I mentioned in Day 8 - Romantic Moment that the Bad Wolf Bay scene in Journey's End could be used for soooo many of these prompts. So I'm reusing it XD

I think Rose's reaction to realizing that Ten is going to leave her behind is incredibly sad, for one particular reason: look at the expression that is NOT on her face.

She is heartbroken, she is horrified, she is devastated, she is angry, she is clearly being torn up by this.

But she is not surprised.

She's spent years in another universe, working at Torchwood, who is developing the Dimension Cannon so she can return home. She's been looking for the Doctor for gawd-knows-how-long. And one of the first things he does is to deposit her right back in the alternate universe - and she's not shocked.

That, to me, is utterly heartbreaking. She clearly knew deep down it was a possibility, and who knows, maybe on some level she knew he was going to do it. Leave her in Aberdeen, or Croydon, or Bad Wolf Bay, or wherever. After all ... if it hadn't been for him calling her to Bad Wolf Bay in Doomsday, the last time she would have seen him would have been as he was trying to argue with her and send her back to Pete's World, where he had just deposited her against her express wishes.

That just breaks my heart.

(This actually goes hand-in-hand with my head canon that in the immediate aftermath of Journey's End, Rose had some serious abandonment issues as far as TenToo is concerned. I don't see how there's any way she could get over that and be all "yippee! relationship!" particularly quickly. Way too much emotional baggage.)
