Oooh, interesting theory. I didn't even factor in Donna. Interesting.
I was thinking more along the lines of, why would future!Doctor just let her die. But I guess he put time and the universe before himself again and convinced himself that life inside a computer is almost as good as being really alive? (More of that, life as a paving slab is better than being dead, I suppose.) Granted, he's just not that great at self-delusion, so after he lets her go, there'll be more of that "I doomed her" in the back of his head.
...Thanks, Moffat. As if the Doctor doesn't have enough uber!guilt.
Hey, you are more than allowed to not like him. He sure as hell bugs me at times (as this post shows), and his apparent anti-Rose stuff and especially his Woman Issues worry me loads. 'Cos they peak out from his episodes, so what's going to happen when we have 5 or 6 episodes per year by him? I appreciate his talents, yeah, but I can definitely see the weaknesses too.
