Day 07:  Most Hearbreaking Scene:  Doctor Who--Doomsday--Ten and Rose say good-bye.

I still, after this many years, have a hard time watching this scene all the way through.  It just breaks my heart.  When she can't touch him because he's only a hologram I think part of me wanted to shoot RTD.  Doctor/Rose were all about touch and to take that from them in their last few minutes together was an evil blow.  No hugs, no holding, no kissing good-bye.  It was horrible.  Also that brief leap of emotion on the Doctor's face when he thinks Rose might be pregnant kills me.  As much as I adored them, as much as I knew they loved each other, I had never considered they might have consummated that love before that moment (children's show and all that) and that one line sent my mind racing in a million different directions.  Also, the Doctor dithering on and running out of time, unable to tell Rose he loved her in return to her broken I love you hurts to this day, especially since he, or at least that version of him, never does say it to her.

This scene, as heartbreaking as it is, is utter perfection. I often wish it was the last time we'd seen Rose, because you could never get more perfect than that.

And you're so right, about that leap of emotion.

oh *sniff* you know, I've never been able to actually re-watch the whole of that episode. Still can't.
