All hail the Moff and Twelve. DW magazine did a poll of best Doctor Who episodes, and well... go look!

The Netflix series of Avatar: The Last Airbender has an Official Teaser, and it looks incredible!

Watch on YouTube

(If writing/acting etc lives up to the visuals, it will be stunning.)

I updated my Good Omens S2: The Big Tumblr Meta Post with yet more links! ^_^

So, yes, Ten sacrifices himself so that this 'unimportant' human can live, and that is plenty beautiful all in itself. But on a symbolic level he sacrifices the Lonely God so that this future, more Wilf-like Doctor can live.
Oooh. So Wilf is like a... future echo of Eleven? ('All the men are one man' and so on). He has to die so Wilf/Eleven can live.

Ten, for all his protests, goes of his own volition. There's never a doubt that he'll do it, either from us or from him. And therein lies the difference between the Doctor and the Master, perhaps.
That is a lovely distinction, I like it!

But I really like that as a parallel for the ends of these two incarnations.
I had never thought of that before, it's lovely.

1) On that note, you've often expressed dissatisfaction with Wilf not being angry with the Doctor about what he did to Donna, and I think that's never bothered me because that's just not the role he's playing in that story? The Doctor doesn't need self-incrimination there. It's not going to help anything.
Oh it would be fatal for the story, I know that. But Wilf absolving Ten is still weird to me.

But it occurred to me: River said 'without hope, without witness, without reward.' She never said anything about without whinging. So there we go.
LOL. And Ten has all of those! He's just being a drama queen. *pets him*

TL;DR: Twelve makes Ten's run better, and I have to eat breakfast now.
You are correct. I hope your breakfast was yummy.
