And now the Doctor understands what everyone feels after meeting him. He's now the one who's experienced splendor and lost it.
Oh, that's an interesting point. I rather like that.
The Doctor found something, someone, that he believed in. He found a greater truth, in his love for Rose Tyler. He found that person worth breaking his hearts over, a million times over. And he lost her, and it did break his hearts and we're seeing the aftermath.
And I'm just "oooh"ing again. Heh. Like how this ties to Sarah Jane's "some things are worth getting your heart broken over."
I love that he has such a depth of emotion, but I hate to see him in pain. It's a near impossible balance to walk, but David Tennant is more than pulling it off for me. He's breaking my heart and I'm loving him for it.
Here's where I'm starting to get tired. And I'm not arguing against *you* since this is just preference of the way we like to see things. For me I loved in new Who that while you had horrors, death and destruction going on, the main characters held onto each other in a way that got them through it. Like in TEotW - death, destruction and uncovering the pain of losing a planet. But Rose grabs his arm and while things aren't necessarily "okay," you know they'll be better. Or in Father's Day - what happened was horrible. But the Doctor takes Rose's hand in comfort. Again, not okay, but better.
But now during these moments, I'm seeing the Doctor alone (he's just not letting Martha get that close) and really despairing. Yeah, RTD said that the theme of Gridlock (or was it the whole series) is hope, but I haven't seen *the Doctor* being shown hope yet. The Doctor just doesn't believe the Face of Boe. And there was Tallulah's speech, but she said it to Martha. He's in this very dark place, which only seems to make the horrors of the show even darker for me.
