Can we just change the subject really quickly to Lee, that one guy from Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead, that Donna meets and ends up marrying while she’s saved in the hardrive of the computer? And then at the end she promises she’ll find him but when she gets out there’s no one by that name and so she just assumes that she made him up? But then he sees her walking away as he’s being teleported away but he can’t call out because he has a stutter and that’s the last time we ever see him?

Can we talk about that? Because that was one of the most heartbreaking moments in the history of Doctor Who in my opinion.

Moment of silence for Lee and Donna’s lost love, please.

“You know when you see a photograph of someone you know, but it's from years before you knew them. It's like they're not quite finished—they're not done yet. Yes, The Doctor's here. He came when I called just like he always does. But not "my" Doctor. Now my Doctor, I've seen whole armies turn and run away. And he'd just swagger off, back to his TARDIS. And open the doors with a snap of his fingers. The Doctor. In the TARDIS. Next stop: Everywhere.”

River Song, “The Forest of the Dead”

“When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it will never end. But however hard you try, you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies. And nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.”

—River Song, Forest of the Dead
