Doctor Who

[almh]

Let me know how you found it JHyde!

I didn't think it was that upsetting, but my youngest sister was in floods of tears, and my dad had to explain to her that David Tennant was fine... I think we made it worse when watching the confidential and it's his 'surprise' leaving thing, and he's barely holding it together and she completely lost it again there.

The thing is, I sort of expected it to be another Doomsday, or another Exit Wounds (Torchwood series 2 finale,) which saw characters leaving and I actually started crying throughout. (Spoilers for the end of time below)

Spoiler: show

This... I think that it tied up the loose ends so neatly that it felt like an end of a story (which it is, it finishes both DT's part and RTD's, as well as Julie Gardners, etc) and it didn't have the same impact. I'm fine with him leaving now, and besides, no matter how popular an actor someone is we can't force them to stay in Doctor Who forever.

The saddest part, I think, was when watching the Doctor Who confidential and hearing RTD say that the Doctor has defeated the Timelords, the Master, the earth is back to normal, he thinks he's escaped the prophecy, and it pans round to DT and then you hear the knocks. And you know he hasn't, you know there's no real choice, he'll never leave Wilf in there to die, he'll save him at the cost of himself. That's the saddest part for me.
