Oh Doctor ... :(

I know! *huggles him*

This is exquisitely written and absolutely heartbreaking, and very true to how I believe the Doctor would be feeling after all that.

I’m trying to make sense of it in my head, pretty much like you are; his is the character I’ve always invested in the most and it’s his motivations – especially for what he did here – that interest me. He and I both have something of an inferiority complex going down, which might be why I can ‘see into his head’ so well.

Will the events of this episode ever not make me cry?

I don’t know; sometimes I think I am all right and then something else comes up and I am crying like a baby again at it all :(
