Exactly! And also "Be on your guard!" Now I want to rewatch The Dalek Asylum...
Different, which is what makes Alzheimer's so cruel. And also why River found it so hard to deal with Ten as he had no memories of her or their relationship. No memories means no context; no context means no understanding :(
No, although he does spend the first Christmas special substantially altering Kazran's memories as Kazran watches which isn't exactly a good thing. But no mind wipes. Not with the Silence there to show him how awful it was. *cough* Heh. And yes, he *alters* memories (a lot, just look at Amy) but he tends to ADD not detract.
and to then have Moff through Clara clearly and explicitly state that mindwiping someone was WRONG, that it was cruel and unacceptable and should never be an option... what a gift. *sigh* Even if Moff had given me nothing else (and he's given me a lot), that would have been enough. There is this feeling of 'DO YOU NEVER LEARN???' But Clara told him. And so did Bill. >:) (Mind you, I'm not saying Donna's mindwipe was wrong. She was going to die, and quite frankly - tragic as her mindwipe was - I don't think a life without the Doctor is worse than death.) (However I have written fic about this, so I shall shut up.)
The privileged don't like to be reminded of their privilege. It was a bit like Danny saluting the Doctor and calling him "sir", it was guaranteed to push his buttons because it reminded him of everything he wanted to forget. Ah, but also a reminder of what it feels like from the other side. That he was robbed of his best friend, and can never get her back. It was a shot that went clean through the armour and he didn't like it one bit.
