The Girl Who Waited - Doctor Who



The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that the good Doctor had six million viewers on Saturday night, it beat its ITV rival by over two million. As to episode folks, it was brilliantly written and acted, it was close as the new Doctor has come to Doomsday with Doctor and Rose but in this case it was Amy and Rory, seeing Rory have to chose which Amy would survive was heartbreaking and his accused tone to the Doctor that he was trying to make him like the Doctor, but as we fans of the good Doctor know he goes a lot darker in his final regenerations, the Doctor lies. The best drama of the week. But this blog would suggest to the writers that they are careful with the character of the Doctor, they don’t want to break the Palmer Rule ( named after President David Palmer in 24), when the President crossed a line that a heroic character should not then you diminish them, you care less, the Doctor should be the best of us, heroic, selfless, barmy as hell but in a good way, as River states the Doctor can be very cold, ruthless and plays games with the lives of others, the exception being Rose, it could be argued that the darkness of the Doctor comes from losing Rose to himself! The ultimate defeat if you think about it, losing someone you love to your self.
