So... yeah, not much to say really. But honestly, it's like the universe has something out for the Doctor. Let's see how many people we can get him to kill because he has no other choice! Let's see how else we can fuck with him!
And Donna begging him to save just one, just one, and they way he says how he can't go back and yells about twenty thousand people being dead and hasn't he done enough...
I'm... gonna go wander around my brain in shock for a bit. Yeah. That about sums it up.
(And I don't care if it's majorly historically inaccurate, and dear God, paired with the rest of the episode, the Rose mention hardly stands out. The rest of the episode just... yes, the aliens were a bit lame, and I didn't care much about the other characters, but the entire thing with "the choice"...)
Nope, not dark at all. Nope.
All I can say is: the Doctor really really needs a break. And if the show keeps at this, I will be a shattered pile of dust by the time the season is over.
*Wanders off*

Date: 2008-04-13 08:45 am (UTC)For the first time since it came out, I sat down and watched all three movies, in a row, last weekend.
After it was over, my own piece of this particular world seemed fairly boring and not worth trying for anymore ... temporarily.
Then, some real problem came along, drawing me into it and away from my previous escape.
I'm not saying you should not invest as much attention and emotion as you wish in the Doctor's world and adventures. The point of those stories is to suck you in.
What I am saying is ... you gotta learn to bounce back.

Date: 2008-04-13 10:46 pm (UTC)It is rather dark already, this season, isn't it? I was hoping, after what they put the Doctor through at the end of last season (not to mention in Voyage of the Damned), they'd ease up on him just a little bit this time out.
Looks a bit like a forlorn hope even now. *sighs*
